Fort Lauderdale, Fla. - - Dometic Marine, a division of Dometic Group, a global provider of leisure products for the marine, truck, caravan, motor home and automotive markets, today announced that it will exhibit the Dometic Cup Cooler, the industry's first thermoelectric refrigerated cup holder for boats, at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show Oct. 30-Nov. 3. The Cup Cooler keeps drinks refrigerator-cold, and can replace most standard cup holders onboard pleasure or workboats. The Cup Cooler will be on display at Engine Tent Booth #1207-1208 and Yachting Tent 729-730.
"The Cup Cooler makes your last sip even colder than your first. It allows boaters to keep a can, bottle or any appropriately sized beverage container chilled on even the hottest days, something that a typical cup holder or can koozie can't begin to accomplish," said Ned Trigg, Sr. VP of Global System Sales at Dometic Marine. "A soda or beer may be cold enough when you pull it out of the ice chest, but from that moment on, it starts warming up. Now, for the first time in the history of boating, your beverage will actually get colder as you drink it. The Dometic Cup Cooler brings a new element of luxury and comfort onboard."
Designed as a marine-tough, open-top thermoelectric cylinder that replaces nearly any existing standard 4-inch (102 mm) cup holder, the Cup Cooler is large enough to fit a 20-ounce (591 ml) water or soda bottle, and also accommodates a standard-size beer or soda can. A specially angled bottom insert keeps bottles or cans of any size in constant physical contact with the sidewall thermoelectric cooling element.
The Cup Cooler is designed for flush-mounting into decks of various thicknesses. A polished marine-quality 316 stainless steel trim ring finishes the surface installation and is accented with two blue LED interior lights. The aluminum interior has a marine-friendly corrosion-resistant, non-stick surface for easy cleaning. A built-in drain eliminates condensation, rain, and water splashes.
Powered by the house battery, control of all the boat's Cup Coolers can be managed with a single switch or set up with zone switching. Each unit includes a low-voltage cut off to avoid a dead battery, a high-voltage cut off to prevent damage to the unit, a high-heat cut off, and an in-line fuse.
