How to install the Yeti cooler as a casting deck on a flats boat. Using the Yeti tie down straps you can mount the cooler on the front of your boat and use it for sight fishing as a casting platform. As it doubles as a cooler. I am putting this on my Ranger Banshee Extreme.
Best Cooler!

First off let me say thank you for watching my videos.
If you feel that this video or any of my videos has helped you then please feel free to donate what you see fit and please do not feel obligated to do this. It is greatly appreciated and goes to further more help producing more of these. I am not a "for hire" marine mechanic and I do not make a living at working on boats, tackle or marine engines. I am a charter fishing guide and small business owner who chooses to work on things myself in my line of work and in return try to share some of the things I have learned, with you the viewer. I do these tutorials to help you, the viewer, save some money and time (it has saved me a ton of both) by doing the work yourself. However making these video tutorials takes a massive amount of time (instead of just doing the work without recording it and then uploading them), post editing, research and time away from my job as a fishing guide, which I do full time. I want to say thank you very much and again thanks for watching.
A typical marine mechanic usually makes between $70 and $95 an hour. Plus the time it takes for them to have the engine/boat in their possession to even get to the work. Think of the money and time you can save by doing some things yourself. It adds up fast over the years.
I also want to stress very clearly that I have nothing against them, at some point in time I too need their expertise and services. I appreciate the depth and knowledge they have. However just like the "big" home improvement stores and "do it your self'" places that are not going after the handymen and builders, we all like to expand our knowledge and have a sense of accomplishment. So please do not take any offense to these videos.

Awesome product review and install how to. Im sold. Gunna throw one one my Renegade. Thanks for taking the time out.

[@Kobafied]

Great video and nice install. The only thing I would add to this is adding a backing plate of 3/4” plywood on the underside of the deck so that the bolts won’t pull thru as easily - you could also use stainless sheet metal, if available.

[@brianwhidden]

Great video.

[@GuthrieBoys]

Nice bro!

[@Cavanaugh68]

Thanks 🔥

[@packmule9892]

Looks great on your boat! I know this video is old, but if you've not found a use for the extra basket you received, I could put it to use on my YETI 65. ;-)

[@Cavanaugh68]

Globetrotters Unite It is gone already, sorry.

[@packmule9892]

Was just fooling around. Being a new YETI owner, it's good to know their customer service is great in a day and age that many companies are lacking in that department.

[@delawarebowfisher]

Where do you order this from looks like a great customer service Usually at bass pro or cabelas all you get its the cooler and that's it no extras thanks for sharing this video

[@Cavanaugh68]

You can get theses options at YETI's website.

[@seanturpin6066]

I am local to you, cocoa beach area I have been hitting the Indian and Banana flats lately, do you still have this setup? wanting to sell?

[@ryansparks2858]

What are the feet you put under it to keep it from wobbling on your cleat? I have the same issue

[@Cavanaugh68]

The plugs are just rubber plugs from the hardware store that happen to fit inside those holes.

[@gregohare6412]

Hope you can answer this. Yeti seems like a 1st class product. But curious about how the seadek held up? Thinking about installing it on my Action Craft, but concerned about long term performance or degradation. Thank you.

[@Cavanaugh68]

My Seadek did ok. It does eventually wear out. Hard to clean too.

[@gregohare6412]

Drew Cavanaugh Thank you for taking the time to reply; very much appreciated.

[@beardedyaker9767]

ready to part wih that cooler yet? I live in Merritt Island.

[@zdrummero1]

Hello great video. What did you use for the cooler feet to get the cooler over the clet?

[@Cavanaugh68]

Yeti sells foot plugs that will raise it up

[@zdrummero1]

@Captain Drew Cavanaugh thank you for the information. Will these feet plugs fit inside the feet that are already on the cooler? Do you have photos? Thanks again

[@GuthrieBoys]

Where did you buy this all in one like that? Thanks.

[@Cavanaugh68]

YETI website

[@dixondjallen6620]

I fish the lagoon too. Scout 162sf and a kayak. What did you put under the feet of the cooler? Thx

[@Cavanaugh68]

Nothing other than what came with the cooler

[@dixondjallen6620]

I'm also adding a lean bar to my cooler. Mounting it so its easily removed from the cooler. I can send a picture when I get it done. Yeti 50. I also put a piece of seadek on the top of the cooler. Makes a big difference. My balance isn't the best lol...

[@irvinbowles5132]

what about the front locker box

[@Cavanaugh68]

Did not get in the way of using it.

[@willp9834]

did you order this off yeti website

[@Cavanaugh68]

john johnson Yes.... You can call them too and get that, mention my name and where you saw it. Thx

[@garzonlaperle9403]

I made it by myself thanks to woodprix website.

[@travisthompson3700]

I don't think he paid for it... Guides get a lot of freebies

[@Cavanaugh68]

Of course I paid for this.
