    But the lobsters said to the fisherman that the large air cooler was not good enough to keep their cool and would go on strike unless ICE was supplied.

    Standard 2 HP air cooled condensing unit linked to a shell in tube evap.

    Salt water/Refrigerant exchange.

    Thermostat, water valve, external pump, UV filter, Good supply of sea water, and plenty of good rubber bands for those claws
