Flambeau Outdoors 1409 Marine Dry Box, 14", Orange

The size was a little taller than I was expecting, but it was perfect. Held everything I needed, and the interioir storage trat was very helpful. The orange is easy to see for quick finding. Very happy with the durability and value. Not sure on the waterproofness but I would get again.

I purchased this to go in my party barge to hold paperwork like registration and such. Its a good size box and seemed to be a good quality. The locking lid works well also keeping it shut and it is waterproof it got left out in the rain and everything inside stayed dry so it works. It's lightweight and works well for what I needed it for.

I've been using dry bags for years to carry different items between land and my boat. Since my latest boat had limited storage, I needed a different solution. This box is perfect. Compact in size it still has room for everything I need on board such as phone, glasses, wallet etc.

I purchased this container for my 20ft 2-gauge Deka jumper cables; 16lbs. The bright orange color will make it easy for others to see when instructing them what to look for. Water proof wasn't mandatory when looking for a simple container.The Flip Top lid storage and inside tray are great to have. The tray is quite deep allowing space for tools/ items. This does make for fitting other items below the tray limited. The Flip Top storage on the lid is great for smaller items and quick access items. Just remember that items will roll around when you open the lid.The focus is on the lid of this container. That will determine if you want to purchase this for the sake of the container itself or not. The material is softer than expected. I'd say comparable to, but a tad harder than Rubbermaid food container lids. I would limit carrying weight to 20lbs max. When you lift/carry the container by the handle the lid flexes. The gasket around the lid no longer seals tight. Items that push up in the lid also prevent the gasket from sealing. Water resistant/proof, no. Move the hinges to the rear and 2 locks up front and the lid will seal better and be water resistant. To further water proof it means moving to a harder material and more supporting ribs on the lid and top of the bin to reduce flex.For being a light duty container, great. Not water proof cost it 1 star since it is advertised as being dry box. Only 4 of 5 stars here. Look for more sturdy containers with gaskets/ seals if you want water proof.

Nice construction, easy to open and lightweight

Perfect size for tools, documents (registration, fishing license, etc.) spare keys and parts. The way it opens seems a bit odd (it opens lengthwise), but is seems to work fine.

Everybody should own one of these.I keep a lot of spare things and they're my flares. My flags, spare fuses, etc.I keep my insurance papers and registration up top.

Just what I ordered
