Can anyone recommend a low profile microwave? Needs to be 9" high.
Width and depth are the issue here (on a boat).

The two that I found that come closest are both 10 1/8th but both are
unavailable.

TIA.

I did. They are not the problem. It is the height, as the cabinetry is
custom. It's for a Kelly Petersen 44

Looking that way, I'm afraid.

Cabinetry doesn't sound very custom to me if you can't put a microwave
in it. Have you considered going back to the cabinet maker for some
additional customization? It doesn't have to go on a shelf as far as I
can see: West Marine sells microwaves with trim plates. Buy one and
mount it wherever you have some bare wall with air space on the other
side. Put in a shelf to hold it up if necessary.

The point made about a 9 inch microwave having a useless cavity size
is also well taken.

Right. If the OP can afford the Kelly then he ought to be able to
afford to have a little custom wood work done

It may have to be a custom change. It's not for us, it's for our
friends a couple of slips up. We've been trying to solve this
for a couple of days. We have a Catalina 42.

Your ship or theirs...shouldn't cost that much to have a woodworker
come in and make the needed change.

What about an overhead shelf like the one here about half way down the
page.

Probably a lot more than you'd think. Anything involving a boat is
always expensive.

A good shipwright isn't always that expensive and besides, a good
sailor should have some decent woodworking skills as well as
others...I know, I own a sailboat.

Maybe we think differently of what expensive is. Spending a couple
hundred to make a hundred dollar microwave fit is expensive IMO.

We've got friends who are boating nuts and have several large boats.
They've had the same guy working for them for about 15 years. He
works full time for about 7 months and makes enough to take the winter
off and go to Mexico. He gets paid well but he's a fine craftsman.

If you own and maintain a $120K boat, then a couple hundred dollars
isn't much.

If that boat is your retirement home then yes it may very well be. I
remember the OP and he's retired and spending his time on his boat so
I assume his friend is doing the same.
