Storage Ideas for Your Boat

When you have a boat, you may notice that over time you start to accumulate gear. You may have water toys, fishing gear, and safety tools. In order to keep your boat organized, you may need some ideas for storing these items. Visit us at Mark's Leisure Time Marine in Conesus and Canandaigua, New York as we have some nice boats on display. If you live in Rochester, New York, we also serve that area.

Boat Organizer Caddy

You can use a boat organizer caddy on virtually any boat. There are caddies in a variety of sizes. You can also mount them in many different ways and places, like the railing of the boat. 

With a caddy, you can organize small items fairly quickly. You can choose between hard shell and soft shell organizers. If you are going to store lures in the caddy, purchase a marine one as they have drainage holes.

Boat Trash Bag

Although you may think you only need a regular trash bag to keep your boat clean, a boat trash bag is necessary for your boat. You can place your empty water bottles and food trash in there. The best thing is you do not have to worry about the trash escaping from the bag while you are driving your boat.

Cargo Nets

Cargo nets can be a useful way to store the items you do not mind getting wet. They can turn almost any flat surface in an area for storage. You can mount them on the inside of the boat and below seats. These nets are secured with bungee cords. You can use the bungee cords by themselves to hold down things.

Fishing Rod Rack

There are some boats that come with built-in fishing rod storage. If your boat does not, you can add rod storage. You can install it on the sidewall of your boat. This space is usually available which makes it great for a horizontal rack.

Waterproof Storage Bag

Placing your safety gear in one storage bag makes it easily accessible. You can put your first aid kit, fire extinguisher, bailer, and buoyant line all in one bag. When it comes to storage bags, your best bet is to go with a waterproof one. This prevents mildew from building up.

Boat storage is a great way to keep your boat organized. You can use caddies. A specialized trash bag will keep trash from flying everywhere. Cargo nets can turn any surface into a storage area. A  fishing rod rack will keep your rods from tangling. Having a waterproof storage bag will also keep your safety gear clean and dry for when you need them.
