I will need sketches of your box and since they cannot be included in a form, you will need to either draw them on a separate sheet of paper, scan them, then send them Email as an attachment or fax them to our fax at: (954)583-7156 or you may mail them to:

Kollmann Marine; 2430 Sugarloaf Lane; FT. Lauderdale, FL 33312

Please provide the following information with your sketches:

• Include the interior dimensions, and if it has a curved bottom, list each end separately.

• Give the lid opening size. This is very important since the plate must fit through it.
• Give a sketch of the floor plan of the boat and show the location of the ice box in relation to the engine compartment.
• Show the best location for exiting the box with the refrigerant lines.
