Isotherm on the hard

[coriobay]

Hi
I have an isotherm top loader on a Lipari 41, I want to take it up a tidal creek that runs dry, Has Anyone developed a system to keep water flow to the fridge
Possibly run some hoses to 20ltr buckets of seawater and keep recycling the water, would that work?

What model Isotherm ?

Its the piano style fridge common on most Lipari

if it is an SP model it will work on the hard at a reduces level with ball valve open

If it’s got a sea water pump it’s not the SP style.

It’s typical for water cools fridges to also have an air cooled condenser, but not always.

I’ve got no idea what the “piano style” refrigerator on a lipari is.

I ran my catamaran's Isotherm on the hard in Florida for three months. On hot days (+95F), using a 55 gallon drum of fresh water, located in the shade and raised four feet by pallets, it was struggling to keep cold. I ran the cooling water intake and return line out of the escape hatch.
