Does anyone here have any experience with repairing a leaking icebox? From the looks of it, the job will require a major teardown of the cabinetry. If there's an easier way, I'd love to hear it!

Thanks!

no one?
I had a drain leak in the icebox in my S2 8.5. That corner on the cabin sole was perpetually damp and it took a while to trace the issue to the box drain. I was able to reach into the bottom of the icebox with a thin walled socket and tighten the "through hull" type fitting used. When I did it I wasn't sure anything had been achieved, but everything had been dry since. In the event this fails to address your problem, for less work and probably less money too, convert it to refrigeration and eliminate the melted ice water altogether.

Idea

What about if you pull the sink? There is no access from the cabinet door under the sink? What about if you cut an access hole through from inside the cabinet? Where is the drain in perspective to the cabinet door...same side...far side...etc...?

no access there. perhaps the easiest way would be to cut an access hole. It should be within arms reach from there. I'll take some pics tomorrow.

I thought about cutting in one of those cheap round screw in access ports in my cabinet to ease access to the starboard side of my engine, but haven't yet.
