252 model cooler fitment

I buy my yeti gear on OfferUp or Craigslist. A lot of people win yeti gear that don’t want it. You can get it a lot cheaper that way.

those style latches are horrible for me. Had two Walmart brands and it took everything I had to get them to lock.

No experience with them since I’m new to the cooler game. Only have freebie tumblers from yeti. Which they work “okay”. But I do like that they a have an embossed ruler. But thinking either the engel45 or yeti 45 or grizzly 40 are my options for now. Like the low profile of the Engel 45, once I find the solution for the captains chair to turn more than 45 degrees

Engel 45 fits under perfectly but also sticks out in the walkway a few inches. Any suggestions on helping it slide out would be helpful.

Maybe removing the rubber feet? Or coating the feet in some epoxy for a smooth surface for it to glide better

Thanks to @Babin Farms, I ended up with one of these. Works great. Lasted all day in and out of the sun. Recommend keep behind the captain chairs.

Hi guys,
Do not have my boat yet (ordered in October 21), but I need a cooler right now and potentially plan use it on the boat. So 2 stones in one shot.
Here are my options:
- Yeti 45 Link 25 1/2 l x 16w x 15 1/2 h 37qt
- RTIC 52 Link 27l x 18w x 18h 52qt
- RTIC 45 Link 26 1/2 x 16 1/2w x 15 7/8 h 45
- Engel 45 Link 27l x 18w x 14h 48qt

Obvious choice would be Yeti - reputable company, holds cold forever. but the smallest one inside.
RTIC is an awesome product too. I have some soft coolers from them and they hold it forever as well.
Engle 45 never heard off but looks like it is a solid choice too.
Obviously, I plan to put it behind seat.
I am a bit confused since on one picture shows that it is only 16 inch behind the seat, but at the same time people say Engle 45 that is 18 inch wide fits fine and even comes with Yamaha logo

I think RTIC 52 will not fit period - too tall
Looking at RTIC 45 and Engle 45 since they fit more than Yeti and comparable in holding cold.
I am just concern if they will fit or not. Not concerned that they stick out. Just concern if they fit behind the seat.

Your advice much appreciated.

i would checkout grizzly 40 as well. i still havent pulled the trigger on my cooler yet either. cheapest option so far is finding a yeti on offerup 240 and grizzly 40 on ebay, engel 45 is 5 bucks more. for me im looking for the cheapest for rotomolded cooler

 

[Txbred]

Engel 45 fits perfectly being my seat with an inch to spare.

 

[TX_Mercenary]

I do like that about Engel 45. It also has some nice accessories with a built in bottle opener

Same here. I like quality stuff but I think Engel 45 would do it for me. It is around $250
RTIC 45 is on sale for $200
YETI 45 is $325
Grizzly is $300

Found some YETI for $165 on OfferUP turned out pure scam asking for VENMO. Nothing around me to drive and pick it up.

I love my RTIC 52, got that thing on pre-sale stupid cheap. But no where close to fitting lol.

but it’s made in China

but it’s made in China

Most things (especially commodities like coolers) are. Even if it claims to ‘made’ outside of China the raw materials/components were likely sourced from China. Virtually impossible to avoid China with these types of products.

but it’s made in China

Like everything else we buy.
Some YETI stuff is manufactured in Philippines and China.
