Ive been doing alot of research on putting a new refrigerator in our 97 330 SeaRay.
We have decided on the Vitifrigo for a replacement. However i am still a little unsure on how to get the new frige into he cabin. There is not much info out there on how others have managed to slide the new one thru the door.
Removing the origional NeverCold frige i had to remove the door, the door trim and strip the back (compressor, cooling lines & electrical) At that point the frige barely made it thru the top opening of the slider door.
Im sure many of you out there have installed a new refrigerator in the cabin.....
any help would be appreciated.
 
There is an “Official 330 Sundancer” thread the Sport Cruiser section. You may get some help there. I did not have to replace the fridge in my 330 when I owned it.
 
Our 450 we had to remove the two doors and shelves on and in the fridge.Also remove Sea Ray door molding/ trim where the fridge slides in.It did fit through the cabin entrance but barely.

Good luck be patient...
 
Thank you for responses....
I did finally find a good replacement.
Size is very close and compressor is inside. Unit and door/ flange is removable making it sizable to fit thru cabin door.
Vitifrifo 4.2 cu ft

I replaced mine with a 5.8 cu ft Nova Kool (5810 model). I was able to get it down the cabin buy taking the door off the fridge. There was maybe 1/4" total space (1/8 on each side), but it fit. I did it on my own, but that was really stupid. I was lucky I didn't break the cabin door or something else. Here is a link to a Nova Kool size chart comparing to the Vitrifrigo models so you can compare sizes.

Here is a comparison to the Norcold sizing
