I have a 2006 36ft open with Diesel engines. The cockpit has an optional refrigerator which is a a/c and d /c unit. Tiara did not wire the d/c, unit only runs of shore or generator power.
Anyone know why and can it be wired to run off batteries only with cabin refrigerator. Thanks

As long as the frig is ac and dc then yes, it can run off just the batteries. Why did Tiara not wire? WHo knows. Maybe it is because standard is the icemaker and the icemaker only runs on 120, so the standard wiring for that area is 120 only. BUt, you can wire it yourself I would assume to make it run on 12vdc.

Hi Tom,
Thanks for your response. I have four batteries in vessel, two designated for one engine and house. Does a refridge draw a lot of amps, do you think it would not be able to handle additional load. All the best Frank

That I do not know but you can get the specs and figure it out or post here. I do know I had a Searay with 4 batteries , 2 frigs and they both ran without any problem.
