For my freezer / spill over fridge, I chose a Frigoboat system with a 12V Danfoss K 50 F compressor combined with a keel cooler. This particular system is available with a "smart speed control" board that allows the compressor to run at an optimum speed thereby minimizing current draw.
Here is where the unit will live. This compartment is located in the lower portion of the enclosure that will also house the autopilot drive motor. Notice the nice big access door that should allow easy installation and maintenance. Throughout the build, an attempt is being made to offer easy access to all critical systems so that repairs and adjustments can be made with relative ease.
I used an oil based enamel to create a nice clean space to mount the equipment. ( Although oil based paints are getting harder and harder to find, the best place to find the stuff is in old hardware stores. ) Old hardware stores sometimes offer free coffee and there are lots of old farmers talking about fence posts and whatnot.
