Abstract: A container and container mounting apparatus for releasably securable mounting of the container onto a generally horizontal rigid platform on a boat, where the platform is adjacent and aft of a transom on the boat, includes a container sized to stably rest, adjacent the transom on the generally horizontal rigid platform, a female receiver rail mountable to the platform, and a male coupling rail. The male coupling rail is mounted or mountable to a lower surface of the container along a rail axis. The male coupling rail is for sliding interlocking into along the female receiver rail when the female receive rail is mounted to the platform and the male coupling rail is mounted to the lower surface of the container.

Abstract: A container and container mounting apparatus for triangulated releasably securable mounting of the container onto a generally horizontal rigid platform on a boat, such as a swim platform, where the platform is adjacent and aft of a transom on the boat. Ski-rope securing eyes for releasable attachment of a ski tow rope to the boat are mounted to the transom of the boat. The container and container mounting apparatus includes a container, sized to stably rest adjacent the transom on the generally horizontal rigid platform, and fasteners for releasably securable mounting of the container to the rigid ski-rope securing eyes.
