Stainless Ice Maker and Refrigerator Inserts for a 342

sdholzhauer

Does anyone know if they can be purchased anywhere?

The insert for the frig/ice maker can be made of anything you want. 1/4" thick if I remember right. If you want SS just Google brushed SS sheets. You can order to size. Go thin on SS and use a backer to fill the gap. 1/4" SS is heavy stuff.

I got mine from the same place. On a side note, the cockpit fridge face gets hot to touch in the summer.

Greg is right, my ice maker and cockpit fridge get really hot in the evenings when the sun is facing them. During the week I cover that area with a bed sheet so they don't have direct sun. Does stainless alleviate that problem?

Cableguy Greg

It's the stainless that gets hot. The inside of the fridge it fine.

I am thinking of pulling out the ice maker and installing a storage cabinet thats why I didnt put a stainless panel on it.

Not having an ice maker would hurt when it comes to resale

Nobody wants my 342 with diesels anyway.

I love my ice maker. Use it all the time I would never get rid of it. 

Handymans342

I would never make ice from nasty tank water

raybo3

I clean my tank and always flush it out. Plus I made sure it fill the Ice maker with shore water.  Never a problem.......

Black_Diamond

++ to Raybo. I use my tank water all the time. Never an issue. 

Dream_Inn

++ as well, I always use my water tank, never hook up hose to city water.  Water tank is always clean and use my ice maker all the time.

Does anyone recall what size they ordered for a 03 342.  Fridge and ice maker.  I would like to order for mine but boat is still undercover for a few weeks until we can get caught up on other projects.

Handymans342

I ordered a 2 x 2 foot and cut to match the one that was in there

DanD2

I'd love to replace my ice maker with another fridge but can't find one that will fit in that hole.

@Handymans342    Do you recall a gauge or thickness that you used.

Metalsdepot.com  Stock # S424P Brushed stainless 24 gauge

Metals Depot will cut the exact size that you need.

Why not aluminum I bet its a lot cheaper than S/S.......... Just say'n.

Handymans342

Aluminum corrodes

raybo3

The rest the units are aluminum 

Willhound

Aluminum will change to a dull grey finish over time and dents and scratches easy. Stainless wouldn't. 

Handymans342

Aluminium is for zincs only Ray. RLMAO
