I have a 27-III. We lined the icebox with aluminized bubble wrap (like what's around some hot water heaters). It added a day or more to ice life. Don't forget to do the lid!

I glued that to the underside of the counter. I also drilled a hole between my stove and the icebox, and injected foam into the hole. This didn't fill all the space around the icebox, but it did add to the insulation already there.

Have you added insulation around the ice box on your boat, and how? Deconstructing the cabinets, counter, and dish storage cabinet aft of the ice box is way more project than I want to tackle (plus I’d undoubtedly screw up all that teak. Access through the little cabinet door under the three silverware drawers is miserable. I can basically get one arm into the space, or I can get my head in – so I can see a bit but only have limited ability to work in the space under the counter. And I don’t see and obvious or easy way to remove the structure that supports the drawers to increase the access. There are surprisingly large spaces between the outside of the ice box and the surrounding bulkheads, as much as 6” or more in some places, so spray in foam does not seem a practical alternative. About the only practical alternative I see is to add foam to the inside of the box and glass it over. I could profit from your experiences and suggestions.
