Default 2002 scr2700 a/c thermostat replacement turn knobs

Does anyone know where I can get are placement thermostat for my boat. Or is there a way to make it digital. My ac unit turns into a block of ice and freezes the thermostat inside the block of ice and the unit still doesn’t turn off. Spent a lot of money to have it topped off and diagnosed. To no avail. So i was thinking it must be the thermostat due to it it not shutting off the unit. Have to try something. In about $1,000 already. Not happy. Can i change it to a digital thermostat? It only has a basic on and off switch. I attached a picture hope it worked....Can anyone help please.

The digital units usually require a different controller board. I've heard the some techs are savvy enough to rework the connection to get them to work, but it's not something I found documentation for.
If your system is freezing up, have you checked the airflow? Dirty filter or blockage/restriction in the flow will surely freeze any unit. My forward marine air unit can run for hours pulling humid Florida air thru the unit without freezing IF he filter is clean. Add a few dust bunnies or some dog hair on it and I'll guarantee a freeze up in under an hour.

I’m going to pull the main air duct off the unit and run it to see if there is a restriction in the tube vents somewhere, there is plenty of air flow for the unit. I’ll give that a try. The filter you are talking about is on the wall? Or is there an internal filter somewhere? Thank you for your time

No internal filters I'm aware of, at least on my unit. It's mounted under the forward berth and the intake grill has the only filter.
