the issue is that there is a lip under my leaning post where the cooler is to go. i am pretty strong, but i would not want to lift that cooler up over the lip multiple times a day with it full of ice.
there is just enough room under the leaning post for the cooler, not enough room to open the lid. this is where the slide feature comes in.
man .. with all the posts i read about building a bow pulpit, tackle storage locker, cutting board, lowering a bow rail, rear swim platform, i thought this project would rate a 1 on the difficulty scale.
will keep you posted if i develop anything.

I'm surprised too about the responses...rather than metal, have you thought of making rails of Starboard...surface-to-surface, that stuff is SLICK and would make excellent slides...how high is the "lip"?
Good luck w/it and let us know how it goes...
