The only way I know to cool the motors besides raw water cooling is keel cooled. What is so wrong with them sea water cooled? It's a minor cost...
The converter for the refrigerator is bad. If you leave your battery charger on, then it shouldn't be a problem to run the refrigerator off of 12...

I've seen them on the main panel in the salon on other Ocean Yachts. It really can't be that hard to find to trace the windlass wires on a 53' Ocean.
I can't speak of those, but I ran a Tiara 43' LS around a while. We had 24 adults on it one day and it handled it well and everyone was...
