Thread: Chilly Bin Recommendations

There's a shape thing for this as well, I had a 210L long bin on my charter boat and it was great for Kingies etc but less than ideal for chasing stuff around inside it. A lot of the main brands are for the similar literage a lot taller, wider and not as long which makes them a better seat and easier to fit in a car but a less useful bin for long fish etc. I went through the inside layer on mine, dropping kingies into it. Damn things have hard heads apparently! But a run with the plastic welder and a new inside base and good to go.

All the other comments about salt water used as the cooling ice and precooling everything are good info, as well as leaving the bin out of direct sunlight or inside a hot area like a car - heat transfer from the outside in is not great for longterm temp levels.
