I don't have a source for replacements, but I have two suggestions. Good Old Boat Magazine has had a few articles about building your own ice box, I believe, and you can order back issues from the Web site. I think they also have them on CD-ROM. I don't know where I saw the second idea - probably also in Good Old Boat Magazine - but I saw where someone bought a standard plastic consumer ice chest and mounted it under the counter. It has seamless sides and bottom, plenty of insulation, easy to clean, and relatively inexpensive. They come in all shapes and sizes, so you may be able to find a good solution at your local Walmart. Just add a hole and hose for a drain fitting and you're all set. The top will seal tighter than anything I could build, and you can mount a bit of the countertop to the lid so the whole thing disappears. Alfred Poor 1973 Tartan 34C #288 "Jambalaya"
