R. W. Fernstrum & Company Manufacturer of the GRIDCOOLER® Keel Cooler, est. 1949

10/29/2026

The simplicity of keel cooling increases the overall reliability of your vessel by eliminating potential points of failure associated with raw water cooling. Seacocks, strainers, seawater pumps, and their associated maintenance are eliminated, as a keel cooler requires only the circulating pump already on the engine to move coolant between the keel cooler and engine. Waste heat is dissipated directly from the keel cooler to the seawater the vessel is operating in, eliminating concerns caused by intake of debris and pollutants from the surrounding water.
