48 DA Owners Club

OK, im confused...
I'm trying to understand the difference
The stainless unit with internal cooling says
https://www.vitrifrigo.com/us/us/dp2600ixd4-f-internal-cooling-unit
Under features says
D power (standard)
Dual electronic box 12/24Vdc - 100-240Vac 50/60Hz

The airlock model
https://www.vitrifrigo.com/us/us/dp2600ibd4-f-internal-cooling-unit
Says the same thing under features

Am I missing something?

The stainless is the one I have. I did some searching and it looks like either there is a supply chain issue with the AC/DC Danfoss control box and they are shipping the unit as DC only and then supplying separate external Ac to DC converter. Which is fine in the end but would need to understand how to wire it exactly as I want to control what voltage my fridge runs on.

The refrigeration units I installed also have the separate converters. One thing is the converters put out heat and have fans on them which you can hear. So, I located the converters in a separate area (laundry/storage area under the galley) so the system was quieter and they didn't contribute to heat where the refer units were installed. So, plan ahead on the wiring and try to locate elsewhere. Here is what they look like -

I'm watching this like a hawk....the Admiral wants the freezer defrosted this weekend as we are leaving on a 3 week trip on Aug 12th!!! She's been made aware of the pitfalls of defrosting.

A couple of sessions with pots/bowls of steaming hot water will make short work of defrosting the freezer with out even turning it off.
It will come off in large pieces with little effort or disturbance.

Wiring wise they default to AC if AC power is present then to DC when AC is lost. The DC voltage can be either 12 or 24. Right now I only have AC connected but when the boat's DC systems are upgraded I'll pull in and connect DC.
 
It's been ordered and will be shipped out today...
Will post pics when this goes in....
It will look better too! (2 boat bucks later)

Thanks again for all the help!
 
Vitrifrigo confirmed they are having supply chain problems for the internal ac/DC power supply and hence they are selling the DC model with the external power supply.
 
Yep... My buddies shit the bed in the Bahamas and he has been on 12v ever since. Found him one and going to install it this weekend

So ordered the other faucet from the restaurant store but back ordered until late sept. Found this on Amazon so said what the heck. Fits perfect… no required a little sanding with the Dremel tool on the base and had to use the OE fitting from the original faucet. But after 15 mins it was installed and working perfect. Wifey beyond happy no more water everywhere and can actually use this sink now. Best $20 bucks spent in a long time…

Does anyone have any insight on why my engine load has a 5% difference? Would it be props or is there something else? It just started this season, but no noticeable performance issues.

not much difference if any. Although I don’t have a gauge to know for sure. Have not had any issues trimming up or down when running.
I definitely get different loads when my tabs are different, even by a few % different. May be something to play with.

OC,

Is it a 1/2" or 3/4" fitting?
Thanks.

More like 1". The fitting that came with new one won't work. That is why I used the original.
 
Old norcold out

@ocgrant was right, going to need to relocate the vent hose and Tee to gain some depth (yellow circles) and at the least trim back the inner lip in the cabinet (green circles)

New one should go in Wednesday if all goes to plan
 
Shaps, good luck with the new install
I'm sure it will come out great. If you haven't disposed of the old fridge I would like to buy the freezer door from you as my latch is acting up . Let me know. Thanks

Oh man. I was so consumed with getting the old one out and off the boat I didn't think to ask. Let me see if the marina took it away.
So sorry
