Galley - New Refrigerator and Grab Bar.

This first picture is the "OLD" refrigerator, grab bar, TV and the way it used to look for comparison. Notice the space above the old refrigerator and the old - longer - grab bar. The new refrigerator was bigger and mostly higher, so the grab bar had to be changed. I put the old grab bar outside in the cockpit and put a new, smaller one inside here.
The new refrigerator fits right up to the underside of the countertop. A basically, perfect fit!



The new refrigerator is about 3 cu. ft. where as the old one was less than 2 cu. ft. A "BIG" difference when it comes to refrigerator storage on a boat. We actually got an extra shelf inside the refrigerator. That relates to extra beer storage! And of course leftovers. This does come with a price. New dual voltage (12 and 120 volt) refrigerators are not cheep. But we had no choice, the old "Norcold" refrigerator crapped out on us. The new one is an Isotherm, Model "Cruise 85". We are liking it.
