Leaning Post | Boat Outfitters

Boat Outfitters is now offering Integrated Tackle Storage Units into their line of Boat Leaning Posts.

If you have ever needed more storage space in your boat but just can’t figure out where to get those extra couple of inches of space here is a great idea from Boat Outfitters. They are making custom tackle storage units that integrate into most leaning posts.

Most boaters with a open center console boat have some form of leaning post. The benefits of a leaning post are obvious when it comes to comfort and relief of standing all day or running in rough water. Now you can enjoy added storage beneath your exiting or new leaning post.

While many leaning posts do come with rod holders and some already come equipped with a dry box under the seat portion of the leaning post however Boat Outfitters took this concept to another plateau with their integrated custom tackle storage units.

Leaning Post Tackle Storage | Boat OutfittersTheir Leaning Post Tackle Unit – 4 Tray with Storage fits nicely underneath most common leaning posts. This unit boasts 3 built-in storage units, 4 built-in tackle trays, and an open storage bin for catching everything else that needs a place.

The tackle storage unit measures 15 ¾” tall x 29 1/2 “ “ wide x 18 ¼” deep. The minimum required depth to slide the unit under your leaning post is 18 ¼”. The unit is made from high quality King Starboard plastic and stainless steel hardware. It is available in all standard King Starboard colors, White/White, Artic White and Seafoam. Please note some color variations may exist.  To confirm your colors you may order a sample color chain from Boat Outfitters here > King Starboard Color Chain.

Another of the most popular tackle units is the Leaning Post Tackle Unit, Item # 13770-50461. This unit features (4) 3730 Plano Tackle Trays, lift-off leader holder, pull out lure rack, and pull out cutting board. For added storage you get 3 deep drawers, and an upper catch-all area with retainer lip. The pull out cutting board is a great feature when used with your bait station. As with all of our custom tackle units this model is also built with King Starboard marine plastic and high quality stainless steel hardware.Boat Outfitters | Leaning Post Tackle Storage

Boat Latches from Boat Outfitters

Boat Outfitters | Boat Latches

Are you struggling to find replacement boat latches for your older model boat?

You are not alone. Since manufacturers are always looking for ways to improve boat hardware it is not unusual to discontinue certain lines of marine latches and accessories. Where does this leave you? It leaves you searching for hardware or boat latches to fit your older boat. You can’t fault the hardware manufacturers or the boat builders because they are making improvements to their products; which is good for everyone. The other problem when you are in need of a replacement boat latch is that many times the boat builder may have changed vendors or styles of latches so when you go to order the boat latch you need they no longer stock that particular marine latch.

Your only choice is to turn to your local marine hardware store or search the internet for the exactly replacement latch you need. This is where Boat Outfitters comes in… Boat Outfitters has a huge selection of boat latches and marine latches. [click to continue…]
