Fixing Insulation on refrigerator compressor

We are in warm climes in spite of the current 'wet spell' here in Gib. Locals assure me that winter here is sunny so fingers crossed. Greg thought the weather had turned for the worse because he woke up complaining that his feet were really cold. The temperature inside the boat ( without any heating ) is 23 degrees. Just a little investigation and the mystery was solved:

The compressor coils leading to the fridge were iced to about 2inches in diametre - little wonder Greg's feet were cold because the coils are beneath his bunk!
An hour later and there are the coils!  Greg had found some offcuts of insulating foam at the boatyard and brought them back...
Voila! Coils nicely insulated and Greg's pinkies are pink again - RESULT :O)
