Post Vitrifrigo Refrigerator - AC/DC Converter vs Dual Electronic Box
- Posted by: tonyp444 » May 28th, 2024, 10:02 am
- Forum: General Repairs & Maintenance
Hi all,
I’m getting around to replacing our refrigerator and have a question on the model. I did a google search, searched Vitrifrigo’s website, and searched the forum and couldn’t find any info. It seems like Vitrifrigo is a pretty popular brand for replacement refrigerators so I’m hoping someone might have already looked into this.
I’ve narrowed it down to the C115iX OCX2 model, which should fit perfectly in our 325. There are two options for this model as far as how they run on AC and DC power ...

Post Fireboy mounted
- Posted by: tonyiiiafl » May 27th, 2024, 7:22 am
- Forum: The Project Center
After a couple week, multiple cuts and twisted body. The Fire Boy has been mounted. There was truly no space to put this larger than HALON system. I finally did make some “l” brackets with 1 x 2 tubing. The length went right to the hull. I put them mounted with 4 holes drilled into the THICK fiberglass stringer and used 1/4” heavy duty molly bolts. By making the length to the bottom, it acts as a wedge and the 37lbs of the fireboy on it, keeps it down to the hull and truly does NOT budge

- Posted by: Bentone23 » May 26th, 2024, 4:53 pm
- Forum: AC/Heat, Plumbing & Sanitation
I have 2 Vacuflush toilets in m 1998 Carver 355. I rebuilt the aft head latest year. New ball valve, bowl seals were done then. Bowl has leaked since.. Eeewww! So, today I replaced the water valve which has been dripping. I moved the bowl, so I think the clamp was loose. I pulled the bowl and found white crusty stuff n both rubber and Teflon gasket. Took them outside and scrubbed them clean. I lined up the notch and installed the thin one with smaller circle in the middle first with this sid ...

My boat manual has my AC configured with Aft AC on MAIN 1, Pump, Salon and Fwd AC on Main 2

If i have all 3 AC units on, the main pops at the post (new 30a breaker) I did put a soft start on the Main Salon AC to reduce inrush current.

Post 2005 41 CMY with Volvo 8.1Gi
- Posted by: DarkJester » May 23rd, 2024, 10:52 am
- Forum: Carver Yachts Forum - Model Discussion
Good day Carver Yacht people!
I'm looking at a 2005 41 CMY with the 375HP 8.1Gi engines and after what I consider to be a thorough search (2 Hours) I can't find anybody with opinions on if the 8.1's are a good choice for this boat. Seems to me like they may be a little anemic for a 41ft boat @ ~24K lbs. I could be wrong, it's happened before.
OTOH 750HP sounds like a a fair cop. Is there another advantage to the Diesels other than low end torque and reduced Fuel Burn? Should I buy this boat an ...

- Posted by: rgaidies » May 23rd, 2024, 8:36 am
- Forum: Electrical

I do not currently have an inverter system but want to install a solar system, primarily for dual 12V / 110 V fridge.

2) Install 1 400 A/H lithium battery
3) Install 1 4000 watt pure sine wave inverter ...
