Hi all, I have to replace my current flybridge freezer and have narrowed it down to a couple of units.
Looking for advise and or experience with either of these two models and brands.
Current top choice is the Dometic CRX100 aka CRX1110. It is 3.8 cubic feet, compressor style AC/DC. This unit can be either all freezer, all fridge or a combo by removing the plastic freezer compartment. The lowest temp stated by MFG is 17 F. I have to confirm this will fit into my current spot. It is a couple of inches deeper than my current unit. Amp draw at 12v is rated at 6.2A.
Other option is to go with the same unit in place. This is the Novacool F3800. Can be bought as D.C. Only or AC/DC for about $150 extra. Also a compressor style unit. This is a freezer only unit and does not state the minimum temperature. The current one in the boat is still functioning but is badly beat up. And is just too rough for me to deal with. Amp draw on this unit is stated at 4.4 amps so considerably better as far as battery life goes.
Any wisdom on this is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
