My installation by a PO is the Neva Cool, two piece unit too.
I did some temporary insulation using mineral wool about 5 years ago.
:) Fibreglass is too dusty. Operational routine is to shutdown at
night and if the cruise is for more than a weekend then I load a
block or two of ice in the bottom. I get three days on the hook, no
problem with battery health.
If all you do is short cruises then I suggest hold off on the refrig
project... unless you want cool at the dock too.

Our installation is a Nova Kool unit, dates back to the original
owner. It's a two-part unit with the compressor mounted on the top
of the drawer unit in the port lazarette. It's totally out of the
way there and the only issue is that it doesn't have a lot of air
flow. I'm still considering adding a small fan to ventilate it that
only runs when the compressor is on.
I added foam insulation to the underside of the icebox top since
it's just bare plywood otherwise.
One of my friends (Frank Walczak who I think is still on the list)
added insulation to his box by drilling small holes from the inside
and injecting spray foam through the holes to fill out the
insulation. I'm considering doing the same.
Be very careful, he advised another owner on the process and said
owner mistook 3-4 cans of spray foam for 34. Apparently he used them
all. There was foam oozing out of bulkheads and encapsulating the stove...
