COOLER CUSHION

The cooler slides from Boat Outfitters are designed to handle the weight of a crewmember sitting on the cooler in the extended position. With this in mind, you might want to fit your cooler with a cushion top for greater comfort. Yeti, for example, offers white vinyl seat cushions (starting at $125.99, yeti.com) for its wide selection of Tundra coolers. The cushion kits include studs that screw into the cooler’s lid to snap the cushion in place. All hardware is stainless steel. Make sure there is enough clearance under the leaning post or seat module when the cooler is retracted for the addition of a 2- to 3-inch-tall cushion.
