The space I have figured for the ice box does not include the space for the ice, it will drop in behind the food from the counter, so I don't have to take everything out each time I put in ice....I have that space figured in and the melt from the ice will drain into a sump (with a trap that will keep cold air from draining too) as my galley sink is below the water line it will drain into the same sump with a foot pump (also used for salt water rinse) will pump out the sump. I have got the amount of insulation figured in. I have sailed alot with just ice and lived on this boat fro two years with no refrigeration, just a cooler in the cockpit, but would also like to build this ice box to be able to have electric cooling as well as block ice.....any suggestions on cooling.
