Any Hunter owners install a freezer for a 2004ish 36? Im looking at a 12V so freezer recommendations and where you located it in the boat.

What do you have now, cooler, fridge, etc.? If you have a cooler, installing a box evaporator inside the cooler will give you both a freezer and fridge.

I have a 2005 H36. It came equipped with a small NovaCool fridge located underneath the nav desk. This is not the best picture, but I am not at the boat. Will do my very best to remember to get model number for you.

I have a fridge under the galley top to the centerline of the sink. It’s a12v college dorm style fridge and only size that would fit the available space when they constructed the boat apparently. The freezer in it is tiny

Must defer to other 36 owners for a solution. Our boat has a built in freezer/fridge with AB systems. If it were a built in cooler, it would provide some options, but what you have is limited, short of fabricating a built in system.

I don't know about the H36.I have a 1003 H33.5 and a 12VDC Dometic CU-100 compressor and a large vertical evaporator coil mounted in the icebox. The compressor is installed behind the trash can, next to the range/oven. I suspect this was a factory installation. The space under the nav table is occupied by the HVAC system.

When I ordered my H-36 07 I got Nov cool under sink and was freezer option under nav station but did not and like cabinet instead and use a portable 12 volt /110 frig/ freezer next to cabinet under nav station and it can either freezer or refrig and it Engel model and added wheels so it rolls in and out

I built a freezer to go under the settee just after the table. I find access to the storage under the settee a PITA, so felt it was a good place.
I used a standard 12v freezer compressor linked to the evaporator grilles robbed from a domestic freezer.
It works very well.
