Storage containers for 190/195 series?

[BigPapiBT]

Anyone have storage containers they like to keep their coast guard required items, maybe a separate one for cleaning supplies, on board?

Husky 13.5 in. Plastic Tool Box in Black 2019-002 - The Home Depot

The Husky Tough Case is perfect for safely and securely storing a wide variety of items. This tactical style case measures 13.6 in. x 11.6 in. x 5.3 in. and has an IP65 watertight and dustproof rating.

I bought a few of these for cigars a while ago, and I recently bought a few more for boat use because the "gym bag" I was using was a PITA to dig something out of if I needed it. It's got foam inside that you can customize how you want things positioned, if you have a specific need for that type of thing. While they stack nicely if you have more than one, it wouldn't stay stacked on a boat. It's a simple friction fit, so your first wave would separate them. It truly is waterproof, there's a rubber gasket in the lid and it'll float, so you shouldn't have any issues with keeping things dry inside there.

As for any other containers, I let the wife go hunting for those. We've got a basic Sterilite container to hold the air pump, and a few more of the same to hold ropes, but these are all things you can easily find if you just walk into your local store. Nothing to write home about.

The Husky box is quite a bit larger and just as nice, IMO, as the Pelican I accepted in trade from my son. He needed a larger one, I thought I was fine with the smaller Pelican (until I saw JUST how small it is!), since I was going to be using it for flavored cigars. The Pelican is the blue one, and the Husky is the black one. My kid paid $35 for that Pelican, and you can see that the Husky is priced at $24. I think it's a steal of a deal, to be honest, and if it wasn't my kid, I wouldn't have given it up. That Pelican is about a third of the size of the Husky for more money. You'll find that pricing to be true with any of the Pelican cases. They're the Yeti's of the storage case world.

I use these.

Pelican style dry box for important papers, and electronics. Plastic bins for misc small stuff. Laundry bags for dock lines and wipe down clothes.

We have been using the cases from monoprice.com for a few years at work. They're looking to be just as durable as the Pelicans so far. I got one for @Betik s travelling tongue scale after it arrived to me in rough condition from cardboard box travels.

I just bought a bunch of these in different sizes. I bought a 4 pack of every size and outfitted the whole boat with them. Lids lock on tight and every one has a gasket.

Thanks guys. Does the foam get wet from the products it holds or do you dry the items off before you put them back in?

I removed the foam from mine on the boat.

I haven't used mine on the boat yet, but the foam would retain water, so dry stuff off before you put it back in.
