2003 280a - installing refrigerator in upper deck storage compartment

[Rich Galante]

Anyone have ideas or info in installing refrigerator in the upper deck storage compartment of a 280a sundancer? Saw a 300 a few weeks ago that had it done but I can’t find a fridge that will fit.

Here is a size list that you could compare what you have and what is available

Originally the 280 came with a small cooler in that spot. While fridge space is not great, after many years of owning a 280, my reaction is that there are better uses for that space. Storage is the one thing that is in short supply on the 280. We used that space to store the grill, and the back area to install the “under dash” electronics like heading compass and DSM. Getting access to that space also makes running wires from engine to helm easier.

Grill storage is a great idea. We normally strap a larger cooler on the swim
