On my 1983 Montauk the original cooler with seat opens from the console forward and clears the factory rod holders and seat backs allowing you to fully open the cooler. Forward motion also keeps the lid down and not blown open if you leave the lid unlatched. If you turn the cooler around the lid will not fully open and hits the rod holders and seat backs. If you change to the newer taller cooler can you still fully open the cooler with the lid hinges towards the bow and the rod holders and seat backs in place?
Thank you,
