| water temp
2 possible points
1) Using the holding tank to cool the fridge/freezer will increase the temp of the water in the holding tanks which will assist things to grow. Also the heat to be radiated will be on the inside of the boat.
2) Though we have a water maker on board we catch rain water and filter into the tanks. Many times the water is near ice cold and drinking from the tank is very refreshing.
Recommednation would be to enlarge an existing through hull and make a sea chest that many sources can be tapped. This reduces he need for more holes in the boat and still supplying the necessary water for a use and dump system which I beleive in the long hual would be a more efficent way to transfer heat from the system out of the boat.
