I've got an ancient aldor-barbour unit in the lazarette, from there it is a very short run of tubing to get into the cooler. I can't say much about how well it works as we don't use it much, but I did (to my dissatisfaction) freeze some beer one day...

Thanks !

I'm going to put it on its own breaker. Most people seem to put it in the lazarete.

I just installed refrigeration, last year, so I haven't had enough time to evaluate it. I installed an Isotherm Compact Classic GE 150. I didn't think I would need ice, so I opted for this less expensive model. I'm rarely away from a moorage for more than a couple of days. I installed the compressor in the locker under the aft part of the port dinette. It's extremely quiet. I mounted the temperature control in front of the ice box. There is no insulation between the ice box and the stove/oven, so I injected foam in that space. I also cut a piece of polyurethane foam to mount under the galley counter, as there is no insulation there. Be aware that there is no on-off switch, so if you want to shut off the compressor, you have to remove the fuse, or install a switch or a circuit breaker instead of a fuse. I ran the power wire directly to the house batteries. Let me know if you want any pictures.

I'm looking at adding refrigeration to my ice box.  I'm down to 2
choices - An Isotherm with a Danfoss 50 compressor and a flat cold
plate or an Adler Barbour with the same compressor but with a plate
that forms a small freezer/icemaker section (15 x 12 x 6 inches).  The
A/B is about $500 more.  Do you make ice?  If you can't, do you wish
you could?
