Well, arrived at the boat this weekend to find that my fridge wasn't working and the ice that I had left in the freezer had melted all over the place. Hopefully the wood isn't perminently damaged. So now I either have to get it fixed or replaced. Expensive either way. The annoying thing is that the guy in the boat next to has kept his boat at my marina for years and he said that about 15 people have had to replace their refrigerators. He thinks there might be a problem with the power being too low, but I think it's that they won't let us leave our AC units on if we're not there. So when it's really hot if you leave the fridge on it has to work too hard to stay cold. Doesn't seem fair that a decision by the marina makes us spend possibly thousands of dollars!
 
As long as the damp wood is allowed to thoroughly dry [shouldn't be a problem in summer] and it doesn't get wet frequently, it should do ok. Sorry to hear about your frig. Maybe you should just sshut it off and leave it open to air when you are not there. A little less convenient, I know.
