Hello all,
Would it be possible that someone here is having some parts for isotherm cool box, namely the though hull condenser or maybe just the fittings with a bit of pipe attached so as to build new condenser.
The dealer here in Denmark tells me there is too many issues with selling this part, He also says there is the global dealer network don´t sell these.
Regards
Soren

The two fittings (couplings) are most likely 'Aeroquip refrigeration fittings, available world-wide. Suggest getting a pair to match and connect to a correct sized cross finned condenser with 12 VDC fan. Best to avoid any water cooling that involves raw water.

Why?

The Isotherm SP condensors work very well, at least in areas like the OP's where the water is cold, and require zero electrical power and make zero noise. There are distinct advantages over air cooling and no disadvantage that I can see, other than perhaps they are not efficient enough where the water is very warm.

Where I sail, the water is sometimes only 2 or 3 degrees C, and the refrigeration works with a huge efficiency gain compared to air cooling with room temperature air.
