Icey Tek Cool Box

Used the Icey Tek for the first time today....WOW!!

 

I put a 5lb box of squid in in last night and it was solid this morning, plus the inside of the box was icey....

 

I put a litre of squash in their on the way out this morning and it was icey slush when we arrived at the mark....

 

The 56L box took 12 pollock to 12lb, before we had to fillet them down - most of the fish had began to 'stiffen' where they were so cold. After filleting, we managed another 4 fish on top.

 

Easy to wash, no scrubbing, just the deck wash - A1 recommended.

MY 240l Igloo is long and thin.

Most of my fish will fit in without having to bend the fillets.  I can't remember how long it is, but it's about 120cm.

I've looked up the igloos, they're not as thin as a fishbox unfortunately, and fishboxes are a perfect fit between my enginebox and gunwhales. sad.gif

I don't have time to fillet my fish when I'm fishing, I'm too busy catching them! biggrin.gif

 

I have discovered that 70l 'persboxes' (the non-nesting 'prawn boxes') will stack 2 deep under the gunwhales nicely, and they're useful for the bigger pollack cod & ling. So if anyone has any persboxes they don't want then I'll have them off you.....

(picture to follow sometime)

OK, the 'persbox' is the one at the front, and you can see how normal boxes stack perfectly alongside the enginebox on the left.

 

Re: Ling - 6 miles off is the nearest to shore that reliably holds ling for me. Old decayed wrecks (pre-WW2) are best for ling in my experience

...where do you stand? laugh.gif

LOL, I knew someone would ask that! Whilst fishing the boxes are normally stacked either side of the engine box, however weight in the stern of the MI21 really hurts performance, so for the journey home we move the boxes in front of the engine box to improve the trim.
