LOL- you guys are something! Thanks for info and laugh's.
I didn't know any of those tricks. My trick for cleaning them is to get someone else to do it!
I despise wasted storage,and looking at my empty EMERGENCY Crap bucket was just such a issue.
Been poking around in new boat, and realized that my EMERGENCY crap bucket was allot of wasted space.
I had clothes that were folded, and placed in one hatch, and an empty buck in another. How do I maximize that empty Crap bucket?
No one is allowed to answer that question, I already know what Steve, Rich, Skillet, Jimmy are thinking...........
Well, a "Large" Cabela's Dry Bag was just what was needed. I did try a Medium, but it was to small, and still left a lot of wasted space on the inside diameter of the bucket.
Large – 25"H x 11" dia.
Capacity: 2,375 cu. in.
Wt: 1.4 lbs.
I have a Cabela's Guide Wear hoodie, and Striker Ice Hoodie, and 4 Shirts, pair of pants, 2 pair of short packed away in the dry bag, and shoved into the bucket to increase & maximize my storage.
I will probably get everything out, and get a complete change of cloths and a towel/ small blanket in it as well. As most of the clothes that are in it right now are my summer clothes.
I now look at the hatch where the clothes were just folded, and sitting on the bottom, and think DANG, I got allot of room back.
But the idea on a smaller boat works well too. Any 5 gallon bucket, and the listed size Dry bag, and anyone can have whatever they choose in a dry bag, and maximize space.

Solo Launching:
I launch solo allot, and have used a store bought “Bungie” rope that had loops at the end.
They are getting frayed & old and I was afraid I would see my boat floating away one day without me.
(That still may happen, but I’ll save that story)
Anyway, take a length of rope, about 6 foot.
And tie a “Taught Line Knot” at each end.
Take a loop around your launching cleat, wrap the rope around the launch post, and loop the other end over the cleat, and pull the knot to remove the slack.
