Engle install. ( Thanks again Porkchunker)

[PhilC]

Well here it is. I'm not completely finished yet, I'm making a storage bin out of seaboard to go next to fridge. I will also replace blue bungee with heavy black one. The back right corner was router slip. I didn't want to put any holes in housing so I made brackets out of 1" x1/8" alum. stock. The holes were there for the handles.

Very nice!

Please let us know how it works out for you.
I've been considering putting one of them on my boat (replacing my Icey-Tek).
Not having to carry ice to the boat would be nice. :wink:

I've been saving spare $20 bills for a while and I'm about ready to pop for an Engle 27. I believe the safari guide who took us around in Namibia a couple of summers back had an Engle 35. Amazing units.

I'm going to build mine into a tackle station, with drawers for Plano 3700 boxes and a top for cutting/preparing bait. The Engle will probably be on a slide-out tray that will allow me to slide it out to get into it, but slide it back in to keep it out of the sun/spray.

Glad I could point you in the right direction....I'll be right behind you.

Kevin,
That is the main reason for installing this. I have a 40quart Icey tek, thats a good cooler but got tired of emptying, cleaning and refilling every weekend. And it will pay for its self with what I save on ice in 9 or 10 years.

Dave,
I was debating putting a drawer underneath unit. But decide I probally had to use 3/4 board to handle the load on top. good luck with your tackle station project.
