Here is a tip for everyone that did what I did with a knife as I punctured the evaporator on our Catalina 36 5 years ago and is still working today, The evap is very thin aluminum and will not take heat or silver solder cuz it will just melt the evap. What you can do is go to Grainger supply and get what is called RED EPOXY if they still carry it, it is made just for this, It is heat activated.<br />
Here is a link to what I used and explains it more in detail.…

I did the same thing, and took the oportinitiy to convert my fridge to a spill over Freeze/fridge, it tripled the size of the freezer. It woks great and my wife LOVES IT!<br />
I bought the evaporator (Part # 019-0200C custom "U" bent) and all the parts from RPARTS.com about $250.00<br />
I cut the old fittings and re-soder them to the new evaporator, really easy with a propane torch. I divided the ice box into a freezer section: where the evaporator is, and the fridge section that gets it's cold air from…

I cut the old fittings and re-soder them to the new evaporator, really easy with a propane torch. I divided the ice box into a freezer section: where the evaporator is, and the fridge section that gets it's cold air from the freezer thru a small computer fan.<br />
RPARTS.com technical help gave me all the instructions.<br />
Last thing I had to do was call a marine air conditioning/refregeration place so they could come to the boat and leak test, vacum and recharge the system $265.00<br />
The Adler Barbour box evaporator runs about $400.00 and doesn't come with the old fittings, so you would have to replace them with the old ones anyway.<br />
I would be interested in knowing how Randy and Jane pathced theirs just in case.<br />
Hurry up the beer is getting warmer<br />

Let me guess. You used something sharp to remove the ice build up on the plate. I did the same as well as friend of mine done, I have a way of patching the plate as I poked a hole in ours over 5 years ago and it is still going. Email me here and I willl tell you what I did to fix it. Randy Aka Mutualfun

Ohhhhhh .. close to the box is hard to solder onto.. The two tubes are co-axial there (one inside the other for about the first two feet) and soldering old tubes on would be a challenge, I think. I have not dealt with the R-Parts but their stuff looks pretty good at a good price. Again, a local refrigerator repair shop can also order new roll bond evaporators and can solder your connections and lines onto the new evaporator. I would price through them to get an idea about how much this is going…

Again, a local refrigerator repair shop can also order new roll bond evaporators and can solder your connections and lines onto the new evaporator. I would price through them to get an idea about how much this is going to cost; bring them the old one and the lines. Replacing the evaporator is the easy part, getting the unit properly evacuated and recharged may take some doing.. again, Good luck !!

I found a used evaporator but they cut the line close to the box. Think it can be saudered ? Also, a lot of the paint is 'bubbled' ... think is can be sanded and painted - or shouldn't worry with that?
