Convert top loading fridge to freezer?

[davethedog]

Hello all,

Boat we are looking at has 2 fridges, one in the galley and one under one of the saloon seats. Is there a way of converting the one under the saloon seat to make it a freezer (aware that this would require a lot more power to sustain freezing)? Reason being, if we get this boat, we want to do a lot of long distance ocean sailing and feel a freezer would be a god send.

Thanks

Are they both running off the same compressor?

What type of volume and evaporator plates do you have currently in the box you want to make into a freezer?

Can you tell how much insulation is surrounding the box under the seat?

Absolutely no idea at the moment, bit think it will be 2 compressors! So gather not much I can do until I get the boat then.
