[The Duke]

Greetings from Fort Lauderdale. I purchased a 2006 38 open tournament addition.  It came equipped with a bait prep station complete with a Bait Freezer.   I had to replace a thoroughly rusted out recirculation pump for the chiller which seems to work as promised.  I’m trying to figure out what the “Bait Freezer’s” were supposed to be capable of exactly.  I did get it to freeze the surface of a cup of water I left in it overnight. That was before I fixed the recirc pump.   I know this may sound stupid but I’d really like to hear what this option was expected to do when new. Since I have to run the generator to operate it off the dock, I’m trying to figure out if it’s worth the fuel burn.
