Bicycle water bottle holders. The aluminum ones are unbreakable (easy to bend back), they even hold bottles on mountain bikes, are cheap, resist corrosion, they clamp to rails, and they come in vert and horz. I've used them on multis for over 30 years.

I used two bike bottle holders to add cup holders to my 1987 Acura Integra back in the late 80s. They worked great for many years. Hadn't though to use them on the boat.

These in white would look pretty good.Bicycle Water Bottle Cage 2 Pack $9.99

I might try two of them to hold the Olive Oil and Vinegar bottles on the bulkhead behind the stove in the galley.

Right now Siren is probably telling Scuba Guy he isn't allowed to play with us anymore. :(
LOL! LOL! LOL!
Me thinks she'll be ok with it, she's got a good sense of humor...but we don't wanna run her off, her journey is just beginning!
I'm sure Scuba Guy will apologize for our indiscretions!
(btw, are those some of Yeti's new models? They seem to be well insulated!)

These have always worked out well on my boat


for those of us who like their beer warm, they're great. For those who like their beer cold, they are still great.

This is my last post on this subject. I better go away now ;). I have a somewhat developed sense of self-preservation.

@Will Gilmore beat me to it.....I was going to say "these work good in theory, but in practice, it warms up the beer too quickly in my case." :laugh:

Don't care too much for Corona, more prefer Pacifico, but I do like a cold Shock Top Belgian White. This one pictured is a little too warm, for my taste. :p

And as functional as they may seem to have aboard, the suggested cup holders do not double as a Coast Guard Approved PFD. (I actually just made myself laugh out loud when I typed "CUP holder".....hahahahaha.....I'm so punny!)

this can lead to the old Thermos bottle joke...
"when it's cold, it's cold, when it hot, it's hot....how dooo it know??"

(Kermit, you are a bad boy, but very observant!)

Maybe not but throw them to me anyway. A little buoyancy can go a long way.
