JEdwards,
I can tell you have not been in the Sea of Cortez during the summer. Add to the 100+ deg F air temp that the water is over 95 deg F!
I am interested, but need more info before I decide. The Engel MT17 fits into the space I have and would not require a big project. Remember we are living full time on our Nor'Sea 27 and the wife is not happy when I start a project. And cutting wood is a big No-No.
I thought I saw a unit that would sit on top of our current box (like mounted in the lid) and work. But the specs only called for an inside temp of about 40 deg F.
Our priorities are (in order)
LOW power usage over time.
Easy to install in the space we have.
Cost
Please note, cost is last!
