Salt spray on Waeco Fridge

Bit of a risk taking your frig on the bay unless you can be sure that the electrics are fully protected by a waterproof cabin.
I would get a $3- can of fish oil (fairly thin & weak) & after washing & drying the frig spray it generously and after a few days wipe it clean.
I also noticed on my own Waeco 45 the other day that the cooling coils on one side were fairly well encrusted with fluff & dust so I recommend that any such frig owner should check this visually & if necessary, remove the plastic vented panel & clean the coils as required.

Being exposed on a boat means that salt ait + spray will pretty much mean that you will have salt in every part which will impact on the condition of the fridge. I would give it a good wash down with plenty of detergent and water, slop it on, then hose it off thoroughly on the lawn. Take the cover of the electrics and sprap them with water despersant (WD40 or similar). Then assist the drying with a fan in a very dry room.
Shouldn't be too much damage provided you get right on to it.Carpe Diem

I never take my fridge into salt water just for the reason of rusting and for the price of the fridges it is not worth it.
I take a decent esky with me with ice ,which makes it easier to clean and look after.If you want you can put your fish in your fridge when you get back to the car.

providing you dont submerse it in salt water it should last the distance...ie by the time it fails it would be about time to purchase a new one
