On Refrigerator Ventilation
By the way, one word of caution. When we took delivery of our boat, Tony went to great lengths to advise me not to restrict air flow around the back of the fridge (through the clam shell vents) as they are sized to provide the minimum ventilation for the fridge to work efficiently. He went so far as to say that I shouldn't even put screening over them (for insect preclusion). Even this could cause restrictred air flow. When I saw your vhf speaker and extra insulation, I was reminded of these precautions. Our boat is older than yours so maybe the newer generation fridge is not as much of a problem. Good luck.
