    I am trying to fit a 13 Gallon Trash Can into a leaning post. My original idea was to have the trash just go in through the top and then pull the can and bag out, this would be the cheapest and simplest. The other idea was to have to trash can on some type of slider that could slide out and then allow you to put trash in and have access to the can itself. Just wanted to know if anyone had any original ideas on trash can for center console boats. The 5 gal. bucket dosn't do the trick for a boat of this price.

    Thanks

    Maybe something hinged where the can would tilt out to throw stuff in and then its own weight would close it back up.

    pivot it!

    Right on Sam Sam, pivot it out the side or back from the bottom edge, you can even get it to pull back in with a occy(elastic) strap so it don't fall open, Keepin it clean is makin' it safe! Jeff:)
