Any Useful Bow Baitwell Ideas?

    In 2 years I’ve yet to use my bow baitwell (I don’t fish much live bait)

    Has anybody figured out a cool idea on how to better utilize the space? I would have loved just a larger storage locker like the Port side, but obviously that wasn’t an option…

    Right now it’s kind of my misc throw junk in a box area when it’s not being used as a beer cooler…

    Too small to use as cooler?

    Out of curiosity how well does it work as a beverage cooler.

    I use mine as a cooler, Works pretty well. Sometimes when it gets really rough, cans can get punctured.

    Same here Joe, once in awhile it is a cooler, but it holds planer boards & empty cans & bottles, dock ropes etc etc.

    It actually makes for a great cooler.
    I fill mine with water & soda and then throw a small bag of ice on top.
    The ice has lasted up to 3 days in the front live well keeping our beverages nice and cold.

    I agree, I just wish it didn’t have such a specialized molded top so it could be more flexible for storage, especially on the MX1825 with the smaller bow storage compartments.

    Small gripe, love the boat…

    Use as a cooler and trash collector. Only time I’ve had water in it was breaking to make sure everything worked.

    I have never filled mine up with water. But it has leech tamers and dock ropes.

    I do believe I have a mesh frabil that would fit in it perfectly. I should check on that just in case the need arises.
