On this customers center console the PO installed 1 inch alum angle in the deck to secure the canvas.Not the brightest idea.When I was installing new speakers I lightly made contact with them and they were removed and tossed into the lagoon with the owner shouting"Wait, I need them"
My response was "NO YOU DONT"

So I came up with these installed in the deck. With the pin removed and the canvas rolled up nothing protrudes from the deck.
Have a frame made for you cooler and lock it in place on deck or swim platform. When not in use you have a flat platform or deck instead of the 4 corners screwed into the deck or platform.

Want rod rack across the transom ,have it made and install it. When not in use you have a smooth transom.
Remove a back seat and install a rod rack, when done fishing remove the rack and install the seat.
The female retainer OD is .620 so start with a 1/2 drill and dremel or file foe a press fit and install with 5 min epoxy.
Dont have the depth behind, glass in a piece of wood

Endless possibilities
