Hello Mike,
Last summer we completed a circumnavigation of Vancouver Island, AMAZING!. Two days prior to departure, after many sleepless nights thinking about where I was going to get ice, (slight exaggeration) I installed a Nova Cool freezer.
The install was easy, except for my sprained ankle diving through the companion way hatch to do something...another story. I also installed a 68 amp alternator at the same time.
Our biggest problem was not freezing everything in the ice box! I put a couple of gel packs in the freezer and would shut the unit down over night. They never melted, and I could go two days before I would have to run the engine for an hour to charge the batteries. Our longest stay was four days after which we really needed a deeper charge. A two hour run to a creek with sweet water did the trick, two birds with one stone.
I think the freezer would have been a complete waste of money had the ice box not been properly insulated. We are very happy with the capabilities of our ice box/freezer.
I will post some picks of the freezer installation in Black Arts Various projects. Unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures of the insulation process.
