Our compressor is on lazarette shelf.  When the engine key is turned on the 
bilge blower exhaust is also turned on.  Plenty cool in there.

The PO installed an Alder Barbour cold machine 200 on my boat.  There is
little difference between it and other systems that use a Danfoss DB35
(IIRC)  Compressor.  They have hermetically sealed components with zero
loss fittings.  Once you mount the cold plate in the fridge and the
compressor anywhere else, you run the copper tubing and attach the
fittings.  The thermostat wires run with the tubing between the comp and
fridge.  12v to the comp and you're good to go.  Regardless of witch system
you use, sticking with a danfoss compressor will allow you to use the
Stainless Lobster fridge controller.

The Alber Barbor modifications are supposed to improve the system but they
actually decrease the reliability.  You CAN eliminate the add on circuit
board and use it the same as any other Danfoss system.

Stus-List Adding refrigeration.

[Adam Hayden via CnC-List]

Hello listers

I am sure this has been discussed before.   We have decided to add 
refrigeration to State of Bliss.   Last winter I re-insulated the ice box with 
a dramatic improvement to keeping ice.  

We generally do coastal cruising spending 3-4 days away from the dock.   

For those of you that have refrigeration or added it, where do you keep the 
compressor or what system have you used?   I have thought of the lazerette 
behind the ice box, however on the exterior bulkhead is the heat exchanger for 
the engine.   

I would also appreciate any insights in the installation
