I removed my ice box about 3 years ago and found that the original was a
drop in insulated box.  It was about 1in thick and glassed on the outside
as well as inside and was saturated in water so had no insulation in the
bottom 1/3 of the box.  There is about 1in clearance for and aft and
inboard,  the outside  has upto 4in of clearance due to hull shape at the
counter top.  When I decided to work on the box I was just going to drill
through the glass and use foam to add more insulation but with the amount
of water saturation it would have done nothing.  I also have refrigeration
and before the repair the compressor would run 40 min per hour and after
20 min per hour.
