Glove Box

MrPhotographer06 · 03-14-09, 08:08 PM

what can i do for like a "glove box" for my boat..

i've got to have something to hold the registration and my wallet/phone while on the water and have it accessable from the drivers seat so i can get to it easy
anyone got any ideas?

i have a ziplock baggie i put all my regstration papers, and liscences in. then i have a tube like storage thing i put them in. works for me.

well i was thinking making like a 4" pipe with a screw on lid ..

then i can bore a hole in it and cable it to the boat..since i've got like 15 ft extra cable.. haha

now..how can i lock it...

The other thing you can do is get a small tackle box, or other waterproof box, and drill a couple holes in the bottom and bolt it down somewhere in the boat. Just seal the holes so it doesn't leak. Then you won't lose it either.
Since I took my passenger console out I lost my glove box so I got a plastic box for papers or files and put my stuff in a big ziplock bag and stuck that in the back compartment.

Registration should be in the boat but as far as wallet and phone that is exactly where they belong. And sometimes the keys belong there too

Easy. Build a glove box into the underneath portion of the console. If you go to walmart and look at the rubbermaid and tupperwear containers you may even find something that you can cannibalize in part. I'm thinking especially of the office section which has office organizers with little drawers that pull out made of plastic. I doubt you are gonna drive with your knees under the console, it looks too small for that.

Building it into the underneath of the console will put it in an easily accessible place and make it easier to keep it dry.

you gotta remember this is an old boat, cable steering..the steering hubs under there..

Do you drive with your knees under the console? Just give the hub its area and build under that? Its your call, you can see it in person but I have storage all around my rack.

idk, i'll take a pic tomorrow under there, i may have enough room..
