![]() I have friends who are riggers, sailmakers and boat repair experts, and none of them are getting rich I can assure you.It doesnt surprise me that people have a hard time finding good refrigeration guys to work on their boats the good guys are going to go where they can make real money! ![]() ![]() The problem is, sailors are notoriously cheap! Comments like "the wind is free so they think everything else should be too" are all to common in the industry. My time is billed out at $110 per hour these days and i have as muchwork as I want. The fact of the matter is, there are too many unqualified guys out there installing kit systems for far less than I am willing to work for. These days I only work on boat systems for friends and fellow yacht club members. I used to install custom refrigeration systems based on NovaKool components for the local Hunter broker, as well as a number of other brokers and individual boat owners. If debris in the evap assy is a known problem, who is to say the new one isnt going to have the same problem?Īs for making my living, it has been many years since I have relied on the marine refrigeration industry for my living. I have never bought their products, and based on what I've read on this thread I probably never will! Clearly they have serious quality control issues. Well, i honestly have no idea how much a replacement evaporator assembly costs from frigoboat.
