Storage Question

Featured Replies

Time to De-Lurk.

I have a 16' aluminum boat with a deep bow storage locker.  It is open to the bilge, so it does get wet when water gets into the boat.  I store extra lifejackets, my minnow bucket, some tools, and occasionally some tackle here.  

After an motor incident last weekend, I will now be carrying a set of tools specific to the boat.  These will likely be "permanent" residents of this locker, and I would like to keep them in reasonably good working order.  My first instinct was plastic bags, but the fear of tears/pinholes leaves that out.  Next consideration is a drybag.  Is this a good solution?  What are other tricks or methods to storing tools and keeping them in good working order?

Thanks

I use a small ammo box only costs a few bucks,It keeps the tools and the TP dry

i keep a small set of tools in a old plano tackle box.if u can get a hold of some dessicant u can throw that in there to retard rust. Damp Rid can be purchased at home depot and put in a nylon stocking.

I often use a vacum sealer on stuff that I rarely use. Tuperware, ect. makes alot of different size containers that can be packed in if you don't have much room.  I have a couple of dry bags by Minn Kota, they are good quality, seem to be tough, the tops are made of velcro so if you store something over a long period of time they may still let in some moisture.
