Boat users need easy access to coolers in confined spaces—a smart, simple, safe, and strong storage solution.

Cool-Slide^TM turns a storage pain into a pleasure through a simple yet innovative design. Cool-Slide^TM uses a UV-resistant plastic platform secured to stainless-steel telescopic slides, which join the boat deck beneath the leaning post. A cooler rests on the platform using adjustable straps or corner grips, accommodating common cooler sizes such as 72- or 94-quart varieties.

Cool-Slide^TM brings the following benefits to the boat owner:

Smart: Why have storage that is a hassle to access? Cool-Slide^TM provides easy access to your cooler, making storage work for you. Deck panels located beneath the leaning post, which are covered in alternate designs, are easily accessed when using Cool-Slide^TM. In addition, the cooler doubles as a seat when locked in the extended position.

Simple: Cool-Slide^TM is simple to use—just unlock, pull out, and lock back. It is also simple to install—takes less than 15 minutes to install by a boat manufacturer, dealer, or existing boat owner at home. Automated designs are also available.

Safe: Robust locking in both stowed and access-friendly positions ensures that you and your stored items are safe and secure.

Strong: UV- and corrosion-resistant materials provide longevity in the marine environment, while underside supports and quality-engineered slide design and placement yields an extremely sturdy structure.

Cool-Slide^TM Locking Mechanism

A double-secure locking system uses both a release lever and an optional locking pin. When encountering rough seas or during transport, the locking pin provides an added level of security. (A stowing slot for the pin is available when not in use.) For normal use, the release leaver is sufficient and the locking pin is not required. See the unlocking procedure below, which includes the optional locking pin.

Cool-Slide^TM is a trademarked and patent-pending innovation owned by James Doubts, the inventor of both the Reel-Jacket^TM and the Carolina Bait Tray^TM.

Having commercialized multiple innovations culminating in thousands of unit sales, Mr. Doubts has a proven eye for inventing solutions to unmet market needs.

The market feedback on Cool-Slide^TM to date has been phenomenal. Every boat dealer and owner approached has asked when the product would be available for purchase.

Cool-Slide^TM is an accessory applicable to any boat with an open, four-leg leaning post or comparable space on boats or other recreational vehicles. Leaning posts are common on center console, walk-around, and other boat designs.

Estimates suggest that Cool-Slide^TM would apply to 20,000 new boats sold annually and well over 500,000 existing boats. This represents a significant market opportunity for a company with the right market channels to reach accessory distributors, boat makers, and dealers.

Cool-Slide^TM is available for license. The licensee would be entitled to all invention designs, manufacturing know how, production quotations and channels, and market information to facilitate the commercialization of the invention.
