I just purchased a West Marine 94 quart cooler as an upgrade on my 89 Montauk.. The cooler only comes with two snaps on each side. I purchased screw in snaps because the Halls cushions have four snaps along the front. Can anyone give me some advise is this the best was to add snaps? Is screwing into the lid solid enough to support the snaps?? Thanks in advance for your response..

That is how most of them are added to the cooler.
If the screws strip out, then you can use pop-rivets to hold the snaps in place. You would need different snaps when using rivets.

One of the advantages to Hall's design is the flaps. With 4 the cushion does not move. I tried a generic cushion with two flaps on my new cooler for my Montauk and it moved around terribly. Returned it and bought one from Halls.

specialty marine has them like this as well. I screwed mine in and they have held well.
