For the “DO-IT-YOURSELF” individual, these components can be used to build a mechanical marine refrigeration system.

It uses a 12 Volt DC 100 AH battery to power a 12 Volt DC motor which drives a 1/4 HP belt driven refrigeration compressor, to supply refrigerant to a 16” x 15” x 3” holding cold plate, mounted in an insulated 5 cu. ft. ice chest.
