My boat has a cool box with a top entry door and a false bottom where I would think one has to put ice? Does anyone else have one of these and whats the best way to use it?

The false bottom is also handy to prevent items sitting in water from melted ice.

Rather than ice, the freezer packs that caravan sites sell are better. And you can get them refrozen at marinas where they have a small supermarket I think - you certainly can at caravan sites.

We tried it out with freezing tupperware type containers filled with water, works quite well.

The ice is best on top, cold flows down.
We take frozen food for Saturday night and a couple of cool packs if it's a W/E. A frozen 2 or 4 pint milk canister works well too.
For a longer holiday we use party ice if it's warm enough to need it. It's a pain if the milk goes off too fast.
The false bottom is good to keep stuff out of the melt water if there is any.

The bottom compartment is surely to put the cold bits in.
We used to freeze the 2 litre coca cola bottles with water in them. a couple of those would last three or four days.
But in the end I converted the cool box to a fridge.
