Re: Refrigerator.... What's Wrong?
Like previous post, I suspect the door gasket. CLose the fridge door on a dollar bill and try to pull it out. There should be even resistance as you try this all around the door seal.

Re: What cordless Vac to use aboard
+1 for Dyson and Ryobi here. We use the Dyson for floors. Never had any battery issues. I have several Ryobi 18v tools and they are all good, but not great. Their advantage is the shared batteries.

Re: impooving verizon connectivity to work from the boat
No mast -- I'm on a Nordic Tug 37. Antenna is on deck above pilot house. It would probably work much better if at the top of a mast.

Re: DC Surface Mount socket/plug
Look at plugs used for downriggers. I've used Scotty before and it worked well. Locks in place. High amperage.
Go to Amazon and search for downrigger plugs. There are several to consider.
