Anyone find a use for these lockers? I'm talking about the ones under your feet when you stand on the swim platform. I have a few frisbees in mine but that's it. They often clog. Plus there are no gaskets so they are always wet inside. What can I store in there?

One brochure pic shows them used as a cooler while swimming, but they aren't insulated and mine are usually dirty. All the sand and mud gets it there with rain water and washover when stopping.

I hate wasted storage.

Mine didn't even have drainage holes when I got it... Wet ski rope/other wet stuff you dont want to stow elsewhere?

We put or water shoes in them. I have probably 15-18 pairs in different sizes for us and guests. I have used one of them to keep beer & pop with ice while we stood in the water on a hot day... worked good enough for the short term. I have the extended swim platform (no risk of water rolling into it) so I put our shoes in the one just in front of the ladder and transom walkthrough.

I put me water hoses in them, in the starboard one I have my BBQ receiver installed. They sure are hard to keep clean, my drain fitting on the port one was broken and it was allowing the water from both lockers to drain into the engine compartment. Sure wish we did not have them. jrcinnh wrote: Anyone find a use for these lockers? I'm talking about the ones under your feet when you stand on the swim platform.

They're about as useless as tits on a tree. All mine are good for is stowing some inflatable swim floats. They're nasty enough from bobbing around the Bay water, and by the end of the season get thrown straight into the trash. The don't drain well and then they become a heated greenhouse since they're out there in the hot sun (or cooked from below by the engine heat). I made the mistake of putting my grill mount in there. It has corroded all to hell after only two seasons.

when the boat is on the trailer, it's a good place to put the bags of ice I just bought instead of crawling up on the boat. I've got extra sets of line in mine too. Not much use.
