[C320-list] How to add a Microwave?

[Gary Malcolmson]

Ben,

Congratulations on your new boat!

Our 2003 model C310 (#230) came from the factory with a Samsung model 
MW650WA microwave.  It is a 0.6-cu ft, 22.2-lb, 650-watt unit and 
according to Samsung's manual the outside dimensions are:  18-9/64"-wide 
x 9-23/32"-high x 12-27/32"-deep.  I would suspect this is the same unit 
used on C320's as well but not sure for how long.

On the bottom there are some brackets (I'm guessing custom made) that 
secure to the bottom of the oven and then fasten to the bottom shelf via 
screws from underneath.  To custom make these might take a little 
thought but nothing major.  A strip of hardwood secured to the oven, 
then secured by screws from underneath  might work just fine.

Regards,
Gary Malcolmson
