Boat Galley Modification: From Built-in Icebox to Portable Fridge
In this Cape Dory Refit Part 7, we modify the galley to better suit a minimalist, off-grid setup. In a previous video we covered the conversion from bulky propane stove and oven to Origo alcohol stove. Now we’re removing the original built-in ice box and drawers to create a custom locker to house a removable portable fridge/freezer and a dedicated 12V battery supply, providing better efficiency and more versatile storage. A portable fridge/freezer keeps it compact, affordable, and easily replaceable rather than trying to maintain a built-in unit.
