So far things that works, include. Air, AC, he going?

at hot water, shower drain, cabin lights. Fans, TV, microwave. Things not working refrigerator, bath room light. Had a compression test done , the engine passed. Oil analysis showed no water or gas in the oil. I have been so busy cleaning the gross bath and pressure washing the haul, I have not even startwd the engine nor played with the lines.

Any know where to start with getting the refrigerator

Walt, what type of fridge does your boat have? The 331 that I chartered had a deep "ice box" with an Adler Bourbor refrigeration unit evaporator installed in the icebox. The condenser unit & circuit board were housed in a space under the port side galley cabinet. I would test with a test meter to ensure that the circuit breaker is OK. Also check the control module for the self contained fridge unit to ensure there isn't a blown fuse on the circuit board. If there is power to the circuit board, there should be flashing diagnostic lights on the circuit board that indicate where a problem may be. You will need to locate the instruction manual that lists the various trouble shooting light codes to isolate the problem. Hell, if is interfering with your sailing time, fill the box with ice & go sailing! If my memory is correct, there was a three way valve under the lavatory sink and 12 volt sump pump to enable one to remove melted ice water out of the bottom of the box or drain the shower pan, depending on the valve setting. It's been 15 years since I chartered the 331, so my memory is hazy. My 343 has a "dormitory" upright fridge / freezer and I don't believe that was an option on the 331.

It will definately not interfer with sailing time. I have been drinking a few but will post the manuals and make of it tomorrow. I found a pile of mamuals and will take them home to review, explore and memorize. I will read your reply tonorrow and figure it out.
Thanks
Walt
