I converted my ice chest to a freezer with a holding plate. I drilled holes in the outside (which would be the port side of the chest). I could access its bottom from my basement, and its forward side through the under stove area, the sink area through the sink and its aft side through the sink cutout. I used an insulating foam produced by Hilti. David Hoyt In a message dated 11/22/2008 9:22:09 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
David, Which sides of the ice chest did you drill holes into. I can get to the starboard, forward, and bottom of the ice chest. The port side is tough, planned on using foam; aft side is inaccessible except for drilling. What type of foam did you use?

Any advice on getting access to these? It looks like I have to take the whole galley cabinet out, but I wanted to confirm that. I took all the screws out that I could see holding that in, but it appears that there are more on the aft end that I am missing because that side is pretty tight yet. There is a wooden bulkhead on the forward end of the port lazerette that prevents me from getting to the aft side of the cabinet, so I am hoping the screws are all inside the cabin. The battery charger and shore power breaker and wiring is all attached to that bulkhead, so it would be a pain to remove. Any hints and tricks are appreciated.
