Coolers

I am looking for ways to tie down 2 coolers on a Getaway/wings. Was thinking of mounting pad eyes just in front of the wings to tie the coolers to one on each hull. How do you carry your coolers?

I've been using the built-in coolers. Depending on the shape of the cooler, perhaps you could use a ratcheting tie-down strap around the cooler to secure it to the forward leg for the wing?

When I'm carrying stuff like coolers and dry bags, I put them on the forward tramp against the crossbar. Small coolers, I presume?

This is what I came up with:

Seem's to work well but not tested yet.

Your pics did not come through.

My getaway is wingless, so I strap a yeti type cooler to the hull at the cross bar. Out of the way and easy to access. I also mounted folding cup holders to the hatch covers using the adhesive backing they came with and get lots of use out of them.

What other cooler ideas you guys using?

Can you see the pictures now? they show when I open the topic. Not sure why you could not see them.
