I actually hate it too but the wife finds it soothing. Have gotten up and slept in the salon when too loud. Thought this was just part of sleeping on a boat.
It is and it isn’t. When there is a slight chop it can be very noisy. You are lucky your wife likes it... Mine on the other hand is a light sleeper and isn’t patient enough to try and get used to it. Anyway, just investigating at this stage.
I hate it because there is no pattern to it. Just random slapping. Fortunately it’s more annoying when tied to a dock. I’ve gone bow in at our home slip at times to avoid it. But barely notice it when swinging on the hook.
Random slapping!!! LOL!!
I’m still trying to get mine used to it !!!!
Took some measurements this weekend. Seems like it should fit. Might need to shave a bit off the opening.It’s a nice looking fridge btw. Well worth the plunge...
Lol. Good luck!!
One of the key reasons I went for the QSCs is how cleanly they run. You almost never smell diesel fumes, even at startup or under hard power. No smoke, essentially no soot.
We are on our first trip with a two hour cruise each way. I do miss my 500 QSCs for sure! These Volvo TMADs are dirty smelly SOBs in comparison. I think because of the large, three story tall transom we get one hell of a station wagon affect that compounds things as well.
Can’t wait to see the end result.
I do miss the data as well, all I have is factory analog gauges on the panel now. Part of me enjoys not obsessing over the data and the other part is itching to install an all inclusive data package to display on the MFDs. For now I’m gonna stick with the “ignorance is bliss” concept. I’ll set the throttles to a comfortable speed and what ever the engines drink, so be it. I used to try to eek out every MPG I could when we first got into the ‘big boats’ . We were running consistent 100 hrs or more a year. Now we are more like 30 hours so the cost of fuel is insignificant compared to the rest of the cost of ownership.
I ordered this one.
There aren't many options for convection microwaves that can be enclosed in a cabinet and will fit the available space. I only found a couple, then availability becomes an issue...
