Q: How to add a leaning post tackle box?

Adding a tackle center below a leaning post is becoming one of the most popular upgrades to center console boats for good reason! The addition of a cooler slide eliminates the need for space to open your cooler and allows space for a tackle box to be installed above. Another option is to use the entire area under your leaning post to add a considerable amount of fishing tackle storage. These boxes can be secured to the seat section of the leaning post, bolted directly to the leaning post tubing, or secured to the floor of the boat.

Types of Boat Tackle Storage

Free-standing

Looking to add some tackle storage under your learning post? Free-standing tackle boxes are the perfect option, they have a fully enclosed exterior and can be easily mounted to the floor of your boat or secured to the leaning post. Usually found under a leaning post, along the transom, or in the pilothouse, they are a great way to add storage to any area on your boat.

Inset

Built-in tackle boxes are designed to fit into empty or unused space making them an incredibly efficient use of the limited area on your boat. These qualities make them the perfect fit for installing into areas like consoles, gunwales, or transoms. We often see inset tackle boxes used to fill the void of factory-installed accessories like refrigerators, cabinets, or under gunwale rod storage.

Tackle Box Installation

Installing a tackle box is as easy as measure, cut, and install. When it comes to installing, boxes should be through-bolted to the mounting surface, however, self-tapping screws can also be used. We recommend adding a bead of sealant around the box before installing to keep the area watertight. Please reach out if you have questions. Our team of industry pros are here to walk you through the installation process!
