Open/remove the doors, and if there are screws holding the frame to the cabinet, remove those, then the units should slide out.Jeff & Tara (And Hobie too)Lake Havasu City, AZ

Thanks Jeff. If they are a side by side can I remove one then the other since there’s no room to slide both out at once.

I own a 2000 3988 and have had the refrigerator out a few times. First there are 4 screws one in each corner along the door edges that hold the unit to the cabinet, remove those. The unit is one piece not two. The cupboard to starboard has an opening under the bottom shelf remove the 4 screws reach in toward the bow side should be a 110 plugin for the unit on the floor, unplug this because in my case the cord isn't long enough to let you remove the unit. Then just pull the unit out into the galley floor. (you do have the room to get it out it's not as big as you think) hope this helps Cheers.Island Girl 2000 3988

The unit comes out in minutes by removing the screws around the frame then pull it forward on a carpet to protect the floor.
Back off the small screws that hold the Dc wires and remove the wires.Dc power off.
Open the cabinet door beside the fridge on the port side and you will see the access panel you need to remove for pulling the ac plug.
Mine had a zap strap on the wire harness that was A PAI to get off.
This unit fits out the rear door with ease.
My unit had corrosion in the freezer cooling units and I dropped it off at Freezer cool in Bellingham and Dave repaired it.
Not cheap but better then $2500for a new unit2001 Bayliner 3988 330 hp Cummins 6bta m3

I just returned to my 3988 after being gone for a couple of months. Everything seemed to be as I left it except the refrigerator seemed to be out. I checked the breaker and it seemed fine. I could not hear any sign of the compressor running or anything. The unit just seemed dead. Any thoughts as to what this could be. I am sure I will be using the above information to pull the unit. Thanks
