Bloch776 Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 Where is everyone keeping their life jackets and throw cushion on a 22 te? I had mine in the cast net locker but I’m tired of water running off the deck and through the hatch soaking the jackets and creating algae/mold. Trying to figure out a better idea to prevent this.

Waterman18 Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 I keep my jackets and throw cushion in the forward right compartment. Easy access in case of emergency. On my previous 22 I had netting under the forward section of TTop and stuffed them in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloch776 Posted January 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 Kind of what I was thinking. Not too many options. I like keeping those rod lockers open.. maybe I’ll try a water proof back of some sort for the castnet locker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FROZEN Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 I keep 6 standard LJs in the forward center dry(?) compartment in a WM standard canvas case. I compress the bag and slide it portside under the hatch close piston. It’s a tight fit but it leaves about half of the compartment free for SO’s “stuff”. I keep my ditch bag w/ PLB, first aid, general survival stuff, etc. on the stern bilge compartment shelf. Throwable is in center console. One of the rod lockers has a gaff/ dock hook collapsed pole, anchor light pole, and collapsed dive flag pole. That leaves one rod locker open for more of SOS stuff. The cast net floor locker usually has a 5 gallon bucket w/ “swim noodle” seat used as a potty for SO. I did buy VersaMats off Amazon to line most compartments. They keep the LJs, towels, etc. much dryer as it elevates all out of the small puddles in the compartments. Air is your friend for keeping down mold and mildew on the LJ case. Hope this helps and I too am looking for better ways to do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloch776 Posted February 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 Definitely going to have to look into to those mats. I guess that’s the issue I run into especially when loaded down to go diving, I don’t like stuff out on the deck and The wife’s “stuff” tends to take up most of center forward compartment. I may try to squeeze the jackets in the bag and shove them to one side to see how much room I have left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcathey Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 Having the compartment on my ttop canvas was a game changer for my 22. I leave my rods in both lockers all of the time. I like those mats as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloch776 Posted February 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 Not big on the under the ttop bags. My top is kinda low and feel as if I would be hitting my head on the bag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bamaskeet Posted February 4, 2019 Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 Most people store their life preservers in the center front hatch. My only advise is if you store them in a zippered bag, leave the zipper open. I have had a number of life preserver bag zippers that no longer worked.

I was stopped recently by FWC and had a great deal of trouble getting it open to show him 6. He didn’t say anything but it got me thinking about accessing fast!
