Our decade-old 12 volt system abruptly stopped cooling recently. A conversation with the vendor leads me to suspect a pinhole leak somewhere in the joints of the tubing. Perhaps. Maybe. (?)
No one locally to trouble shoot it, that I know of.
Given that paying anyone 100./hour to work on it and then buying a new compressor or other parts will quickly zoom right by the cost est. for a new system, I got to looking into starting over.
No decision yet, but this is a vital part of the boat and we are "no way no how" going cruising without it. (Used to be that only the Admiral felt that strongly, but nowadays I am in full agreement with her!)
I've seen some favorable commentary on the Engel product. Anyone have any experience or knowledge of it. Completely Different type of compressor motor, and of course they claim that it's better.
Thanks for your help.
