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.

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.
