Sam,
Installing the one-piece kit you referenced would be possible by going through the aft portion of the ice box into the lazarette. That would be the only reasonable position for it. I have my compressor mounted on a shelf next to the bulkhead and ran the Freon lines through the bulkhead. It was a very easy installation. I just made sure to measure a couple times before I drilled into the ice box. The crew really appreciates not having to drag ice to the boat. I don’t miss the extra weight either. That leaves more room for beer!

I'll keep it all in mind and let you know what I end up doing. To clarify, I was considering an AC (as opposed to DC) holding plate refrigeration system if it's going to run off shore power anyway. No need for air conditioning here in SF, thankfully. In terms of just using ice instead, I think for anything short of living aboard that's probably what I'd do. I'm hoping to be on the boat full time by April though so for everyday use I'd rather have refrigeration. If someone out there has used a one piece kit, I'd still be really interested about your experience with it. The simplicity is tempting but I haven't found any firsthand reviews. Point taken on the installation, James, but it seems like I should be able to cut a hole from the aft side of the ice box so the compressor extends into the port lazarette. Thoughts?
