[QUOTE=tnc110;3710234]That doesnt work too well when you have one cooler as a staging area for the 5 cases of beer in the cabin.....


5 cases?
How many people do you have on that 25zx?

By the way they go back in the cooler.

someone on here mentioned trailer park people cuz of cans. beer doesn't taste much diff in cans than bottles. cans crush smaller. you don't cut your feet on broken cans. and there is the inevitable can occasionally fails the float test. mother nature can get rid of the can in time. the bottle? there forever. unfortunately it is difficult to find Grolsch in a can...Becks, Tecate, Heineken, Modelo, Corona. there are a bunch of non-trailer trash beers avail in cans.

Trash Sack
 
I use one of these. Stays on at over 100 with the suction cups but you can also mount over rails.

I agree with the deep, pisses me off when i see lazy jackasses sinking their bottles & cans. It doesn't take much effort to bag & toss

thirdchildhood 06-16-2012 06:11 AM

I was kidding about sinking them. I've sunk a few in my life but they are worth 10 cents here so they go in the floor storage locker. Are there really that many on the bottom? I try to take cans for reason stated, I took a nasty jump off a giant wake once and ended up with a cooler full of broken glass. Also on Muscamoot Bay and other local gathering spots there are a lot of people wading barefoot. Broken glass there could hurt someone bad. So to answer the question, drinking is kept limited on my boat and the empties go in a floor storage bin til we get home. Also in Michigan we don't have to hide them; It is legal to drink on the boat even when driving if you aren't drunk.

I was out at Gull Island today, my 3 year old was playing on the island and I found about 20 to 25 pieces of glass bigger then 2in in size. For the life of me I don't know why people bring out glass.

Just curious as to how others handle trash. This weekend I am taking a plastic kitchen trash can and going to put it in the engine bay some how....hoping to screw it to the firewall. Even considering putting a can crusher on the fire wall as well....

I usually just buy a bigger boat. it's worked so far. LOL

I use a full sized kitchen trash can in my front locker, then hand crush each can. squeeze the sides a little and twist it flat. My 100 pound wife can even do it. My buddy use his ski locker.

Yep – I have a compartment behind each of the bolsters (under the carpet) that can be lined with a kitchen garbage bag. The covers just so happen to have a can sized finger hole in the top. :whistle:Just pull the bag at the end of the day and hand it to one of the dumpster divers at the boat launch. :D

I have those on my Sunny as well. Dang handy:party-smiley-020:

Dave M 06-18-2012 01:51 PM

Cans or bottles go back in the cooler. Recycled when I get home.

I'm a big boy now and I can drink beer out of a bottle without breaking it, or leaving it where it does not belong.

Oh, and in my locale, a lot of high-end beer is now available in cans. Sierrra-Nevada, Fat Tire, Magic Hat, etc.

Better question.....Why do smokers feel it is OK to throw butts in the water? You smoke, fine, cleanup after yourself.

LA - No problems at all with the bag. I fold it out over the top and place the lid on to hold it up in place. Works great!

Did I ever mention that you have my second favorite SSR??? :lolhit:

Ice chest under the drivers seat lined with a kitchen garbage bag. Lid closes so no visible garbage on the boat and also seals and contains the smell.

In my 23 years of boating i never had a problem with too many empties. With 6-7 persons drinking that much i would be worried about where they pee...

I was thinking more along the lines that I'll use $5 in gas idling out, I'm not worried about returning them :)

Worse yet is when they ask to use you're porta potty. I hate cleaning a porta poty. Of course both my boats had flushable heads. Although to be honest we never used them.

the ocean that we boat and jump into

do up north boaters not get in the water?

McKay 05-12-2016 03:35 PM

We use a cheap soft sided cooler that sits under the front passenger seat.

No we in the northern fringes of the country never get in the water - most of the time it is slush- never really liquid -

We just hold it and then explode when we hit 60 years old!!!

Lavey often builds a trash can /waste receptacle into their deck boat. See port side dash-

10 people typically go through about 3-5 30 packs a day in the AZ/cali heat.

In my rig I keep a trash bag either under a seat in an empty 50QT built in -or in the engine compartment storage bin.

Personally , not I or anyone in our circle throw empties in the water we actually turn round to pick them up if one blows out somehow or on anyones property.

If I have a crew I have to babysit I bring a "captains cooler" full of nonAlky horsepi$$ and pack in and out of my own cooler.

Smokers have to pack butts out as well as in - no butts in the water (like dogcrap) since I have dogs I have dog crap bags with a few drops of water to store them.

BMBoyer 05-12-2016 07:31 PM

When we raft up I usually use the trash can in the boat on my starboard side

If your really worried about the 5 cent a can redemption value, you my friend, are most definitely in the wrong damn hobby.....

nailit 05-12-2016 09:16 PM

We have a tall kitchen trash can with the lil flippy lid. We leave it in the head and pull it out when/as needed. We drink bottles and cans..
Get home and pull the bag and throw! Or have had to dump it at bar stop before.. Good times!

payuppsucker 05-13-2016 12:15 AM

I eat em, bottles or cans. Been doing it for years.

10 cents here and it adds up! If you don't want them in your boat at a raft up there are always folks with containers out who are glad to take them.

drpete3 05-14-2016 04:15 PM

Large kitchen style garbage bag w a draw string. Trash and 10 cent cans go in. It's tied to a handle to our head just inside the cabin. When we get in for the day the whole thing goes in a garbage can and I'm sure someone comes n takes advantage of us throwing away our retunables
