Seat riser raises the seat 2.5 inches. Dual purpose making more room for the fridge and letting me get rid of the throw cushion I normally sit on while driving.

Since I removed the cigarette lighter/socket to put in my windlass switch, I added 2 new 12v sockets down lower on the bulkhead. One will be used to plug in the fridge.
My stock switch panel only has capacity for 6 circuits so today I added a Blue Sea 12 circuit fuse panel.

Got the fridge shelf installed today. Easy galley access under the helm seat. This will pretty much be used for food only. Drinks will be in the cooler in the cockpit like we have done all along. Well, until we run out of ice anyway.
The fridge is 32 quart, 12v/AC LG compressor unit from Costco. I've been running it full of beer in one of the spare bedrooms for the past month and it seems to work really well. Supposedly 2.4 amp draw when running. Runs for about 5 minutes on a 25 minute cycle. I found out about them from the guys on the Expedition Portal forum. They seem to like them pretty well so we'll see how it goes. For $250 I figure it's definitely worth a shot compared to the price of some of the "name" brand units out there. If it sucks, back to Costco it goes. I'll be adding a 150 watt solar panel to the roof rack to keep it chugging along.
Glued up with clamps (where I could use them) and pieces of wood wedged in places to hold everything together

Then I pulled this destroyer wheel from the fishing boat, wrapped it with some 550 Paracord, and installed it in the Dory. Nice little update from the "vintage" plastic wheel.
