***DISCLAIMER*** This prototype #1. I know it's ugly. I plan on actually building a cooler that fits precisely and looks better this winter. But for now, this works!
So to make this fit, I had to move both batteries to my port bench seat, no big deal, we all need more port weight anyways. Then the water hose from my seacock was in the way, I solved that with a 1-1/4" close nipple and 90. Next my center ballast pump was in the way so I built a bracket to move it ahead and down into the cavity where the valves are. Then I just had to build the brackets and use trial and error to figure out a height that the floor hatch would close tightly on the cooler top to act as a lid. I'm horrible at remembering to take pictures while I work but if you want to see anything else just let me know.
