Storage is in high demand on most boats. Consolidating the footprints of your cooler and leaning post is a great way to maximize space, but losing easy access to your cooler is a significant drawback. The solution to these issues are boat cooler slides, which allow you to pull large coolers out from under your leaning post with ease.

Cooler Slide Installation
Mounting to Your Deck
View Cooler Slide Drawing
Installing a boat cooler slide is easier than you might think, but still requires some minor drilling and adjustment.
Mounting to Your Deck
- To mount the slide to your deck, find the proper mounting location and mark the mounting holes on your deck.
- Drill these out using counter sink bits; this will reduce any cracking in your gelcoat when you tighten the screws.
- Once drilled out, the slide can be secured with the provided screws. When possible, through bolting is preferred.
Before you complete your install, be sure to seal your screw holes. Sealing and countersinking your deck screws is vital to a proper installation. Failure to seal your holes can allow moisture to penetrate your deck coring, causing issues down the road. Countersinking can prevent ugly cracks from occurring when you tighten down your hardware. These cracks are typically cosmetic but can spread and cause issues down the road.

Cooler slides add value in multiple ways. First, they allow you to easily pull your cooler out from under your leaning post so you can open the lid all the way for full access. Then, the cooler can be slid back out of the way under the leaning post and locked in place, maximizing cockpit space. Second, by removing the need to drag your cooler on your deck, you greatly reduce wear and tear on the deck of your boat.
There are relatively few manufacturers of cooler slides. Among them, Boat Outfitters is an excellent choice, manufacturing high-quality, universal fit slides from King Starboard and marine-grade hardware in a variety of colors.
The required clearance varies slightly among manufacturers, but generally speaking, a cooler slide will raise your cooler about 2 inches. So you need at least 2 inches of clearance above the lid when your cooler is sitting on deck.
