Replacement latches

[alphaman]

These are breaking in half. Is there a different kind I can get beside these. This cooler is right a year old uploadfromtaptalk1398525491354.jpg

Igloo makes stainless replacements that are on a stainless hinge!

I got my stainless hinges at West Marine.

Mine broke off long time ago. As long as you have it turned around facing the back of the boat then it won't come open. I have a 94 quart I use for my fish box in front and a 54 quart under my leaning post in back for drinks and both have no latches. No problems.

And when the hinges broke on the back I just cut some leather from my old work boots and instantly had new hinges. Enginuity at its best.

Yep. I used an old leather belt for hinges. Will never break again.

Won one at a skeet shoot couple years ago. It's a 48 qt broke the red button on both latches and it's heavy when full but it does hold ice

these never break and are cheap....

In all seriousness when u buy a high dollar ice chest make sure u are gonna use it.

I got my yeti summer of 2008.

It has been used ALOT!
And had been abused!!
But I have not had to replace one part , still holds ice as long as it originally did & the outter shell still looks good.

So I recommend that if you plan on using an ice chest regularly ( 2/3 days a week or more get a yeti)

I have definitely gotten my 250$ out of my yeti


Of all the stuff I bought in 2008 only a few things made it to still b around today

Costa fathom shades, shimano citica 200d and my yeti.

That's y I keep supporting and backing those brands.

I use my 70qt igloo for years. I think it was 49 bucks when I bought it. I've never lost fish. As much as I like those yeti and other high end ice chest they are just to heavy. I can see having one at the camp but trying to move those monsters is a job in itself.

There are different kits depending on how much of this you want to have around the garage/shed.

Sorry, had to do it

But the way I see it a 70qt igloo is to big for 1 person to lift Bc of the length; I personally (6'3" and long arms )have no issues but I assume most people do.

So saying that the yeti is to heavy is kinda irrelevant Bc ur gonna use two people to lift an igloo amyway .

And if a yeti ( other high dollar/" heavy" )that fits in a bayboat is to heavy for you to move around when it's empty then u may need to do some push-ups at night or something.

Purebay I can manhandle my 70 qt alone and full. I'm only 5'6". So maybe you need some push-ups big boy. After 4yrs as a 11B in our US army & 4 more in LA nat guard I'm sure I've done more than my share.
Not to say I couldn't move the yeti around but I don't see the point. Other than to say. I got a yeti.
You want an extra 100 pounds to move around so you can say "my ice last for 8days but I only fish for 3"good for you.
As far as a good camp ice chest for drinks and food I think they are good. But in my boat not for me.
It's also economics. You will have that yeti stolen lost or otherwise before I go through 2 igloos. Again just my opinion.

I don't like web bashing but 6' 3" with short arms are you a raptor or just weak?

U completely missed what I'm saying, no where did I say I have problems lifting the yeti. I don't leave my yeti laying around so it won't get stolen easily. I'm glad u chimed in, really thanks and thanks for showing off ur reading comprehension skills.
