I notice Beta marine are now offering an Optional 12V Lithium Ion Battery Charger Alternator (in Lieu of Secondary) on new motors,not clear what bells and whistles it has or whether it is just the standard derated in some way

sorry posted too quick I was thinking of reinforcement for aluminium deck plates!!!

or put them on the underneath! better to weld them though

doesn't work with smokeless though

doesnt resonate if placed on rubber, chequer plate is the one to get reasonably non slip, you can put those rubber door mats with drain holes on top if you prefer

We used aluminium to replace heavy steel deck plates on our last boat it sat on the steel u channel that had supported the steel with rubber in between, we had no problems. We saved some money buy buying it from a scrap yard! The channel was quite closely spaced. In the current boat we have a single sheet of aluminium that lifts on struts to access the engine it is about 5' x 5' but has a lot of reinforcing underneath to keep it rigid.

The phrase that refers to deck chairs and Titanic come to mind.

indeed muddled no reason to think it would not work on a boat

this is a compressor fridge equivalent https://inlanderlowvoltage.com/product/12v-lec-tabletop-fridge/ , much more efficient but a bit dearer, there are larger models though. Alternatively something like this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dellonda-Portable-Compressor-Freezer-Camping/dp/B08CPWXQS3/ref=sxin_14?asc_contentid=amzn1.osa.97f2eb76-3d7f-4216-826f-d933b60d59a3.A1F83G8C2ARO7P.en_GB&asc_contenttype=article&ascsubtag=amzn1.osa.97f2eb76-3d7f-4216-826f-d933b60d59a3.A1F83G8C2ARO7P.en_GB&creativeASIN=B08CPWXQS3&cv_ct_cx=12v%2Bcompressor%2Bfridge&cv_ct_id=amzn1.osa.97f2eb76-3d7f-4216-826f-d933b60d59a3.A1F83G8C2ARO7P.en_GB&cv_ct_pg=search&cv_ct_we=asin&cv_ct_wn=osp-single-source-pecos-desktop&keywords=12v%2Bcompressor%2Bfridge&linkCode=oas&pd_rd_i=B08CPWXQS3&pd_rd_r=7c9dd947-b4dc-4e7b-a264-1de9eea935f6&pd_rd_w=opNnl&pd_rd_wg=xTZJG&pf_rd_p=902430b3-df66-4df2-8fce-28f7ad2204c5&pf_rd_r=AGXZ36JHZ4SQXH529Y9N&qid=1638051755&sr=1-3-c84eb971-91f2-4a4d-acce-811265c24254&tag=whatsthebestosp-21&th=1 Or if you have a reasonable size (1000w up) pure sine wave inverter an efficient mains fridge would work but you would need to do some homework on how much extra current the inverter takes.

point of order, not really down to the EU to sort out its the deal Bojo negotiated really did we have any of these issues when we were in suggest we leave it there before we are banished to politics
