Most setups I have seen include risers so the cooler is a decent size. 1992 Outrage 17 I 2019 E-TEC 90, Viper 17 2+ 2018 Load Rite Elite 18280096VT

I suspect a modest 1-1/2" set of risers would allow the Igloo 48 quart cooler to fit. With a jumbo six inches of riser, the RPS will accommodate the Igloo 72 quart cooler but beyond that, no amount of raising will allow a larger cooler to fit because of the width limitation.

The cooler sits on a set of Montauk cooler cleats which hold it in place without the need for bungees, and keep the cooler from abrading the non-skid on the boat floor. I could highly recommend this set-up. The cooler is handy for any number of purposes, including fish cooler, dry storage and use as a seat when pulled out. In addition, I have design and built what I call a "fuel tank cradle", out of teak strips, which drops on to the cooler cleats, and which holds a pair of Tempo 13 gal fuel tanks, or a single 26, for when extra fuel capacity is needed. Regarding the splashwell, an old style 86Qt cooler will fit there, with dry deck pads under it, provided the engine is on a jackplate which clears out the engine cables. The newer style Igloos will not fit, as they are too wide at the base.

Member Personal Page Posts: 157 Comments: 4 Joined: 10/09/08	Thanks all. I Probably dont want to raise more than an inch or so as i have the 18 Newport and the console is lower than the Outrage. I could always raise the console the same amount and take advantage of some storage under there.
