I was in Boater's World yesterday picking up some electrical stuff, and they had these [url="http://www.boatersworld.com/product/337010177.htm?bct=t13100003%3Bcicabin-galley%3Bcigalley%3Bcidrink-holders"]Lil Suckers drink holders[/url] on display at the counter (they're not called impulse buys for nothing). I was impressed at how well they stuck a drink glass to whatever surface you attached it to. I tried them out on some cushions similar ours to see how the worked, and they held surprisingly well. Certainly enough to keep them in place in a light chop. Anyway, I bought two of them. If the surface is slick enough (like the top of a table) they're like little limpets and you have to know the trick to get them off.

Good idea.
My solution to the spilled beer problem is to drink fast and never set down a beer can until its empty.

I like Stampeder's approach, but I bought two of them for a power boating friend last year. They work so well that I still have them - he will never know.

Boaters' World, huh? Hope you didn't let on you were a rag-bagger.

I found what I think are the best drink holders at Boaters World. They are also sold at Cabella's, Amazon.com, and other outdoor stores. I used the rail mount and unscrew the main holder to store in the cabin when not on board. I put one at each corner of the cockpit. They hold cans AND bottles... AND they float according to my wife. I wonder how she knows that? Check 'em out!
