The Eskimo Cup Holder is one of those things I didn't know I wanted until I saw it. It's a refrigerated cub holder for your boat. How cool is that? The unit installs in the same space as a standard 4-inch cup holder and is large enough to fit a 20-ounce water or soda bottle. Don't worry, it will also work with a standard-size beer or soda can. An angled bottom insert keeps bottles or cans in constant contact with the sidewall cooling element.
The Eskimo Cup runs on power generated from the house battery. Each unit includes a low-voltage cut off to avoid a dead battery and a high-voltage cut off to prevent damage to the unit. It's the set it and forget it of on boat beverage cooling. You can control of all the boat’s Eskimo Cups with a single switch or set up with zone switching. It is also water-friendly, the aluminum interior being made of a corrosion-resistant, non-stick surface. A built-in drain eliminates condensation, rain, and water splashes.
Ed Todd, Director of National OEM Sales at Dometic Marine, says, “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. With Dometic Eskimo Cup technology, your beverage actually gets colder as you drink it. There’s no need to ever drink warm beer or soda again.” Hallelujah and amen.
Attendees at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, which will be held Nov. 5-9, will be able to see Dometic Eskimo Cup technology at Engine Tent 1207-1208 and Yachting Tent 729-730.
