Has anyone replaced the fridge door insulation/seal strip?
I have not tested ours but when we were taking everything off the boat Eileen mentioned she thought the seal was not sealing complete. We are going back to the boat this week and will check it but NOW is the time for replacements when she is on the hard. That way all summer we sail instead of work on her.. At least that is my
theory ;).

I think there are two different door types for the C310. We've got the old style, looks like a mini fridge. I haven't replaced ours, but probably should. I think it's a standard fridge gasket.

What's this "on the hard" thing you mention? :biggrin: 90 degrees here last weekend!

Please you are killing me....:banghead: The boat is on the cradle now for the next 6 months and shrink wrapped!
Though it was beautiful sailing weather yesterday when we were there finishing up.
How about we start a visitation program and we could start with us visiting YOU? :biggrin:.
Oh well, this gives us a chance to get projects done to spend more time during the season sailing!
The one thing I did not do was check the seal with a dollar bill but I will next time which will be in a week or so.
We travel 2.5 hours one way to get to our boat so we do not go on a whim.
Enjoy your weather!

Actually it's supposed to be stormy and rainy for the next few days, so no sailing this weekend. Often the post frontal conditions in winter are very nice, although we did get spoiled the last three years of a drought with very nice winter weather. If you're down this way give me a holler and we'll try to coordinate a sail!

Thanks Rob, Right now we are warm, but when it ends here... It ends QUICK, But the trees are pretty!
We will probably get a BAD winter.. and we will get to warmer weather at some point during January/February
Last year we went hiking in Utah and than went to Lake Havasu. we might get to Havasu again this year.
How far are you from there?
