you building a custom space with a cold plate, and putting the

No, they have this marvelous new technology called electricity!

I am putting in a 12V freezer, that way it can run when it needs to
regardless of what our power config (shore power, underway, anchored,
genset running, etc).


Tell us more about the application.


Not sure yet whether I'm going to get a custom welded stainless steel
box & insulate it in place, or mold a fiberglass box myself and put in a
cold plate. Either way I'm thinking of putting in those expensive vacuum
insulation panels.

Right now I'm leaning towards cabin ambient air cooled, with exhaust to
the outside. This is how our fridge is set up.
