Need Gift Ideas - What's Your Favorite Boat Accessory?
Posted on 5/11/22 at 12:10 pm

We have a 2009 19' center console bay boat that's been in the shop for a few months. It should be ready soon and my husband is itching to get it back. Our anniversary is coming up and I'd like to get him something cool and useful for the boat. What's your favorite boat accessory? (Max budget of $500.) We live on the North Shore so we're usually on the Tchefuncte or Lake Pontchartrain if that helps.

Stereo head unit with Bluetooth is nice.

Good idea, thanks. Whatever is in there now definitely doesn’t have blue tooth.

A yeti hopper to put beer in.

This is high on my list of next accessory to add.

my favorite is beer, but after that, does it have a depth finder on it?
i think a depth finder with navigation is a great accessary for any boat. the basic decent quality ones start around $300 so im sure he would love it

We do have a depth finder. I think that’s one of the first things we bought after we almost got stuck at the mouth of the river.

Have a good cooler?

I like this…much easier than climbing all over the tongue of the trailer…

A couple of Yeti's. Just got him a new Roadie for Christmas and it has a soft strap, so it's easier to carry then the old LSU roadie we have.

I've been eyeing some of these self-inflating life jackets.
They stay thin unless they're in the water, then they auto inflate.
They look light and comfy enough that I'd probably keep it on the whole time I'm in the boat.
Also, my favorite gift has been a portable bluetooth speaker. If you get a good one, you'll still be able to hear it while the boat is running. I prefer the portable because it's not hard wired into the boat. We bring it to the beach, etc. often.

Different companies sell them, but any welder can make one for you probably cheaper.

What about a Fell Marine wireless cutoff switch.

I was reading one of the threads about this the other day and was wondering if we even have one? I don't think we do. This may be what we need.

Amish Outfitter Buggy Bags for that .5 mph drift speed.
Cisco mounting or rail systems.

I've never heard of these before. We don't have a trolling motor, but those may help for when we're drifting.
We do have rod holders, so we're good there.
All of these ideas are awesome and should get me through the next 2 years of gift giving. Even with all the gifts, I think what he would be most impressed with is if I learned how to back up/park the truck with the trailer on it at the launch.

I swear by their bags. Amish Outfitters and Frank are great. Best heavy duty bags around and I fish 15-20 mph winds regularly.
Call and leave a voice-mail. Frank will call back and tell him the size of boat and your normal conditions and he will tell you exactly what you would need.

I wish you could shorten the range from 50'. What if you fall inside the boat away from the steering wheel?

Helm Pad might be a nice addition. They have customizable options to if you want to add a logo or name
