[C320-list] microwave openning

[Bruce Heyman]

Using a local ships carpenter to do the mod should be fairly inexpensive.  I  
must admit we got rid of the microwave years ago and put a door on that  
space.  It resulted in a 33% increase in storage.  Since most of our cooking  
is done on the hook it didn't change our approach much.  
Thankfully you can still find camping stores that sell Jiffy Pop.

 Thanks Barb and Bruce. I contemplated trying to route out the trim piece  
because there is plenty of room for a larger oven inside the cabinet. I  
couldn't  find a way to remove the trim and I'm not a good enough carpenter  
to try and route it out while it is in place.

So far, I have found one set of notes.  It says that the micro is 
h 9 5/8
w 19 1/2
d 11 1/2

The cabinet is  (these make no sense!!)
h 10 1/2  (something about a 5/8" lip, probably what hangs down from above.)
w 15 1/2   11 1/4
d  (5 3/4)   17 1/2

The micro that came on the boat is http://www.sailorsams.com/mall/tm5030.asp  
as 
a point of comparison 

We went to the boat last Sat. but probably won't again for some time.  If I  
find 

any more notes, will let you know.

Barb

Me too but I can't find my notes either. The Microwave I found at Walmart is  
9 
7/8" hi. I was thinking the opening is 10". It is only $45 so I thought I  
would 
get a couple as stand bys if they fit.

The micro is probably 1/4" too tall.  I will try to find our measurements.  
We've certainly measured enough times!!

Does anyone have the height measurement for the opening of the microwave 
compartment on 2006-2009 boats? The  (Tappan) Microwaves supplied with the  
boats 



are not very reliable and have been discontinued. I think I found GE one  
that 
will fit but I can't get to the boat to measure.
