Thanks Mike -

I remember the Triton site from a long time ago, but had forgotten about it. Thanks for the reminder - I'll be going there next.

The fridge mod is cool! I thought about trying that, I figured it could be done, now I know it can. Thanks again.

It's such a neat hack that it begs some idle speculation: Carry one of those super quiet 4-stroke mini-gensets, you'd have a neat, low budget reefer. Maybe put an Ocean Spray or similar square plastic bottle full of brine in the icemaker portion to act as a cold sink. Freeze it up solid, refreeze after 2 days or so? I love it.

Well, my progress won't be near as professional-looking as other examples you see around here, that's for sure! So long as it looks pretty good, and works well, that'll get it by the finish inspector.

OK, I'm off to go find out about that non-wooden toerail...
