Recharge a Boat REFRIGERATOR [Capable Cruising Guides]
Emily & Clark's Adventure
Hi! We are Clark and Emily, living small and intentionally together (currently aboard our 50-year-old sailboat, S/V Temptress, which we fix and maintain ourselves). This is our adventure. Here we share monthly Aventure Logs, Intentional Life Philosophy, Capable Cruising Guides to help other boaters select equipment and supplies, and regular old moments in our life (including music, laundry, and the like).

Want to know how to recharge your refrigerator yourself? It’s really not that difficult. In this video we take you through the process of making sure you have just the right amount of refrigerant in your system.
This is the third and final part in our mini series on how refrigeration works.
As any of our longtime viewers know we also have a solar panel and battery driven air conditioner onboard. It’s something I developed and has been working well for us here in the tropics. It looks like a company might pick it up as a product. That means you could have AC in your boat without a generator that’s no harder to install then an isotherm unit.
There will be a video on that soon.
