read the manual that belongs to your frige. Some friges run on either power source and are 'smart' enough to do their own internal switching. As an absolute, you should never cross-connect AC and DC wiring. If you are the least unsure of what you about to do or about the proper breakers, fwires, fuses switches the best advice is to retain a professional. If you burn up your boat and found at fault your underwriter will have a few words with you.

Greetings and welcome aboard the CF, bcclew.

Manual switching is NOT required.
Just connect DC to +/- terminals, and plug cord in to AC outlet.
AC is the primary source, and the fridge switches automatically to DC when AC unavailable.
