At best the piewster (?) principle

(not the Norcold refrigerator)

used in these boxes will lower the
temperature about 15 to 20 degrees from the ambient.  I used one as
an
auxiliary for dockside and short trips in a unit with a holding
plate in the
freezer.  I would not consider using one again.

Yeah, that's about what that one will do for me (and I dont know how
to spell that either). As I said, I use it with a block of ice on
short trips and do without on long ones, or mostly do without long
trips. Have thought of installing a real unit  but am severly space
limited (27 ft sailboat -  wannabee trawler later on). Gg
