Wise 8WD156-784 Offshore Swingback Cooler Seat, 70-Quart, Brite White

Really great quality. The cooler part keeps ice for more than 24 hrs. The seat is well made. We are very happy with our purchase. It made the boat look new again. My husband was able to install the seat in a couple of hrs.

Great value. Bought for my 2017 Mako PS17. Drilled 4 holes in base to lune up with existing hold downs, perfect fit!

The seat is comfortable, the cooler held ice for more than two days. Very good installed in my grandsons boat. He liked it alot.

This was purchased for a 14ft Carolina Skiff. It fits perfect. I was worried about the size and not being able to walk around but it is no problem. It fits 2 people very comfortably. My daughter is 13 and 110lb and I am 5'9" 180 and we both fit comfortably. The design is sturdy enough and could use improvement on the hinge design. They are located on the outside of the seat instead of the inside but not a deal breaker. Good product.

I really like these benches. You can use the bottom as a cooler or live well. You can flip the back rest back and forth to sit facing front or to the rear. Well made, easy to assemble.Install tips: There are mounting plates screwed to the bottom of the cooler/bench. The manufacturer uses 1/4" x 1 inch cap head Phillips machine screws with a 3/4" washer all stainless steel.The mounting plate is 3/4' thick and the mounting holes will accommodate a 1/4" screw/bolt. (You could go a little bigger, but a 3/8" screw is too big and will not fit.)Attaching photos to the review showing the four holes in the bottom of the mounting plat on each side of the bench, the measurement of the screwhead and washer, and the side measurement of the mounting plate (3/4 inch thick).

I was very impressed when I opened the box with the quality and workmanship. I istalled it in my boat and it looks good and very comfortable.

It took forever for me to get it. Packaging horrible. Zero protective packaging other than two plastic bags. Would have been thoughtful to add handhold cut outs to such a big heavy box, nor would it have cost them anything to print a cut out template to mount it, nor to include helpful hints/instructions. Now the worst- the base plate should be one inch overall wider so you can get a driver of some type on the fasteners. After trying everything imaginable to screw it down I had two trips to the hardware store buying various other fastener options, removing the couple of fasteners I was able to get in on the first attempt, and then to reattach and seal them with hex head screws I could get a wrench on. A very painful install accordingly. Then I find the odd ball rubber stopper drain plug doesn't fit at all so I may end up whittling down a stick to plug up my new $600 cooler that should have cost way less and which could have been a fun install in a couple hours.

Replaced the old seat with this one. Worked out perfect.
