I have the adler barber cold machine in Alianna its a good unit now 20 or
more years old still workin good never serviced. Best to insulate the ice
box well thats not too easy and i have not done a complete job at that part
It draws about 5 amps so i cycle it on and off and always on when under
engine power. It will make ice cubes thats good

Re: Stus-List Refrigeration units

[Josh Muckley via CnC-List]

I've been happy with the PO's installation of a Alder-Barbour cold machine,
similar to the one seen in the link below.  These are extremely common
units.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/ADLER-BARBOUR-COLD-MACHINE-/183539623085

The Danfoss compressor used in this unit is fairly ubiquitous.  Though not
bomb proof they have a long history of parts, troubleshooting, and repair.
They are used by many different manufacturers and packaged under different
names.

http://www.kollmann-marine.com/techtips.aspx

They can almost all be installed DIY.  They come pre-charged from the
factory and the fittings are supposed to be zero-loss so charging after
install is not required.  I would suggest getting a stainless lobster
controller along with the purchase.  This will give a lot more insight to
the operation and efficiency of the unit.

https://stainlesslobster.com/product/buy-fridge-optimizer

The rep from Nova-Cool (also a Danfoss compressor) stated that their
systems could typically be maintained with a 100w solar panel and
appropriately matched battery system.  A small circulation fan in the
fridge, adequate fresh air across the condenser, and added spray foam
insulation around the fridge are key improvements to ensure max efficiency.

I installed an Isotherm 3701 ASU unit in Touche'.  Works well.  Probably
more complicated than yours will be.  The install is documented here:

For a long time I considered installing an Isotherm SP system.  SP systems
have a thruhull cooler for the refrigerant.  See:

I installed an air cooled 12 volt unit from Seafrost in my 40. It was a quite 
straight forward job.
