Cooler rack mod

I'm in the process of doing a cooler rack ala' Dogon Dan, only making it out of the Home Depot plastic wood. Pockets are made for the support bar, the pallet is done. I'll pick up the 1" square stainless support bar today from a local vendor and then it's just a matter of installling it.

I don't know how the plastic wood is going to compare long term with the
decking material, but thought I would use it because of the light weight.

I'll post some pictures shortly in my album.

Super idea Dan!

I appreciate all the responses but I really just wanted a reason to post the pic of the glassy calm water and the sun on top of the mountains. That's kind of why only the top of the cooler is in the pic. It was really a beautiful weekend on the Sound (finally) :rainbow .

I almost posted a reply to your post and photo, questioning your ability to take a photo of the cooler, then remembered you are a professional photographer so I figured your subject was really the view.
 
Dan, Dave is right on the tell tail. You can articulate it in about any direction.

As to the pissing contest. This old duffer knows his limitations and will concede.

Oh! The motors? err, OK!
 
The Twin Johnsons on "Sea Shift" are aimed "crossfire" at each other.........kind of a pissin' contest... :roll:

Heck, if you wanna have a bit of fun with it, aim it so when you come along side a float it'll shoot those standing by as you come in for a landing.... :lol:
 
Nice mod and pictures DOD, I read an article recently that said there really isnt a reason for telltales anymore because of the sophistication of the engines and warning systems but that they keep them for long time boaters who dont feel comfortable without them.

I am the same way; have to hear it (at idle) or see it from time to time to feel right.

Would you believe J. C. Whitney shows two "steering wheel spinners", one of which folds away inward? Could be the ticket. If you don't have the catalog, I've seen them in the supermarket magazine rack for $3.99.
