The 400DB will have either a fridge or an icemaker on the port side in the cockpit. I opted for an icemaker. I do use a cooler, but it is the worlds greatest cooler (http://www.yeticoolers.com/) that is worth the trouble.Sedan Brigde Owners -
Am I missing something or is there not any sort of exterior fridge for beverages? I see that the bridge has a "cubby" but the salesman said that it isn't a fridge/icemaker and there is only an icemaker in the cockpit.
I envision most underway time spent with us all on the bridge until the kids are old enough to go up/down underway without supervision.
So how does the captain get an icy beverage? :huh:
Are we back to coolers? Are there aftermarket options? How have you all solved this perplexing problem. Thanks!
I have the Fiberglass Series 60 quart. I keep it on the back deck. Sometimes I may put a smaller cooler up on the bridge for long trips...The one we're looking at has the icemaker.
That is a very cool cooler - do you keep it on the bridge? Any memory of which size you have?
The new 44 has an option for bridge A/C, it wasn't available for me... and by the way, Jack is 9.The 44 doesn't have AC on the bridge? No wonder Tim has his 8 year old drive the boat while he hangs out in the AC below...
Speaking of rolling up the isinglass... one of the best things I ever did was to install snaps onto the opening windows so they can be snapped up to the arch without having to roll them up. You can see it in the pic below, all the windows are opened and snapped up to the arch. Much better for the plastic...i have a tiny little wet bar with a big circular "cupholder" for an ice bucket on the bridge. and when i unzip the roll-up isinglass, i have air conditioning too! :smt009
The snaps are in the sunbrella border around the isinglass, not in the plastic itself. The panels stay attached along the top edge and the panel is folded up and snapped to the arch.this sounds like a great idea, since the stupid straps that hold the rolled up plastic invariable put tiny scratches in the plastic, depending on the wind and amount of salt spray. but i'm trying to picture this - do you place snaps in the underside of the bimini and arch and snap the plastic to that (thus necessitating snaps in the isinglass) OR do you unzip the entire panel, and snap IT to the bimini/arch?
