Seat Cushion
Submitted by C.P on Thu, 2015-01-15 18:10
I recently bought a new 100 L fish box for my boat. Have been inquiring about having a cushion made for it so I can use it as a seat. Spoke to a couple of people in Mandurah, one said yeah about 200 bucks Mate - which probably means more than $200. The other quoted $260. The idea was to have some press studs to hold it down so I guess there's a bit of work. Even so thats a bit more than I expected for one 800 x 400 mm cushion. Made a phone call to a place in Carlisle who promised to call back but didnt. So followed up with an email - No reply.
Has any one had a seat cushion made for a fish box / esky?
If so, can you tell me where & whether you got a better deal than I was quoted
Maybe press studs are a bad idea anyway.

Velcro is the go. You can by
Velcro is the go. You can by rolls of it from bunnings and I reckon you could buy the outdoor cushion from there too! Or BBQs galore

BCF
I bought a couple from BCF a couple of years ago for $30 each but they may be a bit big for what you are after? 1200 x 300?
Brand is Blueline.
I put mine on a 110 litre "mackeral" esky and fits perfectly.
Attached with Velcro to start with but when the esky was in the sun, the glue melted - sorted that out with some sikaflex and permanently attached amd hasn't missed a beat since.
Good luck

I thought cushion but then
I thought cushion but then thought of the fish smell and how hard it is to get rid of. I decided to go marine carpet only easy wash no real maintenance

Complete Angler
Complete Angler had them when I bought mine to suite each model, I think mine was in the $50 price range with velcro to attach. Did you ask where your purchased if they stock, as I thought this was a pretty common option and they would all stock cushion to suit.

Thanks all
I'll look around for the best option. I did mention seat cushions at the tackle store where i bought the cooler, they recommended having one made - hence the quotes i got.
