PUMP WIRING

Connect the red pump wire to the terminal screw marked pump (+) and the black one to
(-) under the compressor housing cover. Be sure the toggle switch is off until the boat is
launched and the pump is wet.


MOUNTING THE EVAPORATOR PLATE


The plate should be mounted in the cabinet as high as possible to take advantage of
thermal convection. It may be used as a shelf, mounted on the ceiling or any wall.
There is no restriction as to position. Standard aluminum ice trays may be used for ice
making if the plate is used as a shelf. If the plate is wall mounted a vertical ice tray kit is
available. Before mounting the plate, consider access to the thermostat.




The Sea Frost BD plate mounts with a
Wellnut expandable neoprene blind hole
fastener. A template or the plate itself
should be used to locate the mounting
holes. Drill a 3/16" pilot hole. Increase
this hole to 3/8". Install the screw into the
plate through the spacer then tighten the
screw in the Wellnut. Install the plate
pushing the rubber mounts in to the pre-
drilled holes. Tighten the screws.



INSTALLING REFRIGERANT LINES


Two copper lines connect the stainless steel evaporator plate and the compressor. One
is 5/16" and the other is 1/8".

Run the lines behind any and all serviceable parts. Avoid heated engine spaces. Do
not coil excess tubing in an engine space. Protect the lines from being crushed,
snagged or stepped on.

The quick connect fittings require a 1 inch diameter clearance hole and are staggered to
allow passing through a bulkhead or insulated wall. Keep the plastic cap and shrink
wrap protective cover in place until the connections are made.

WORK CAREFULLY WITH THE COPPER TUBES TO AVOID PINCHING OR
