Here is the information on an insulating pad for the icebox. I found this ad in an old issue of Points East so I called the number to make sure they company was till in business. The company is located in Washington state, so I got someone up because I called from Maine. Anyway, the company name is Standout Yacht Fittings. They are located in Longbranch WA & the phone number is 800-622-1877. The Super Q Ice Saver in the add is 18x24 and 3 yrs ago sold for $23.00. The pad is made of mylar reinforced foil between foam layers & covered with vinyl. Says it will make ice last three times longer and the food/drinks will stay 20 degrees cooler. I don't own this product, yet. In a previous thread about icebox woes the subject of this pad came up & someone asked where to get one. I think it might have been Fred who said that he used one of these pads. Also mentioned in the thread was the company RParts. I looked them up & think that I will use there product to build & insulate a new icebox for my boat. They are considerable less expensive to Glacier Bay, but I may be comparing apples to oranges. Anyway, the "Captain" has issues with the Glacier Bay products, says he won't spend over $1500 to build an icebox for a 25 year old sailboat that needs too many other upgrades. He's got a point. The link for RParts is below for anyone who wasn't following the icebox woes thread

Tammy - Thanks for passing on the information. Standout Yacht Fittings is one of the vendors here in the chandlery at SailboatOwners.com. You can get several different types of canvas products here that are made by SYF. I ordered the Super Q blanket you mentioned from them for the refer on my Catalina. I was very pleased with the result, as I noticed reduced cycling of the compressor. SBO is considering offering this product as well, but many icebox patterns are needed to provide a "point and click" purchase offering. If you are interested, you could contact the chandlery for additional information, or contact Standout directly (thanks for providing the phone number). Bottom line is I'd recommend the product. Best, Trevor
