I have a Tundra Freezer/fridge unit in my trawler. It has always worked well AC/DC.
I had an unfamiliar crew aboard last Saturday and the AC breaker for the entire boat was switched to off position.
Today I was making preps for fishing tomorrow and noticed a putrid smell. My bait (5 lbs of Cigar Minnows ) was thawed. Totally nasty!
When I am off the boat the only thing I leave on DC is the Refrigerator and the bilge pump.
I think the DC required voltage is too low so the fridge shutdown.
The boat is charging again and the AC power is getting the charger going.
Am I on the right track?
Any one else experience this?
I can't find a Fuse or CB on my Tundra. Model T80
Thoughts?
If I get the batteries charged back up to max shouldn't the fridge work?
Thanks.
