Is the water container suitable for use on a boat as extra water storage?

They should work fine because they are built heavy duty. And the cap has a built-in spigot to make dispensing the water easier. Just remember that these things are heavy when full: about 56 pounds (and somehow it feels even heavier). So even though they have a stackable design, I would not store them that way in a boat.

It should work fine on a boat as extra water storage. The container is made of a sturdy plastic so it could with stand the jostling on a boat.

Yes. The container is food grade plastic and is thick enough to be bounced around in a boat without breaking

I don't think it would work.it would hold the water okay, but when filed to capacity the side seem less likely to collapse.

I don't see why this tank wouldn't work for that. The only problem would be when you store the boat make sure to open the cap because it will swell a good bit. The vented hose doesn't seem to give it enough of a vent to keep the tank from swelling in extreme heat.

Yes, works just fine for trailering & also for cover when stored in the water at marina.

I believe that would be fine. The instructions show it attached to a boat. There are mounting holes.

usable, but I would not call it suitable for long term storage. I would get two cases of water and cycle through them so you always have at least one fresh case of water bottles for use in an emergency. This is great for filtering water into with an MSR water filter and then storing the water until used while hiking/camping etc.

I use it on a boat too. Don't think I would consider it "water proof", but it gets splashed on once in a while.

I wouldn't recommend it for a deck boat.Due to the way a deck boat hull/deck are build.

This is very thin material and I would not recommend for heavy outside use. I'm assuming when you say "Aluminum Boat" that you mean a skiff type of boat, not a boat with an interior cabin area. It would be fine for interior cabin boat applications such as speaker boxes, temporary mats, and covering walls. It may be ok for temporary in a boat that only sees freshwater, but I would not consider this to be used in saltwater at all, not even temporary.

On the real boats, they were life raft storage compartments. Hope this helps.

I think that would work great. I've only used it for water but I think you have a good idea!

It's not designed for that purpose. You could place it in a sealed container with other items though.

I am confident that you can store anything you want in there. I holds less than .2 gallons, so plan accordingly. I keep mine full and in the bags on my Harley all the time. No leaks or spills. Great peace of mind. I don't think I would *plan* to use it--the lid is hard to open, and you *will* spill a little. But if you really need it, that doesn't matter.

Absolutely. I love that boat. Do not over inflate. You will get years of use.

It is sturdy enough but the case of water would probably not site flat in the cart. You would likely have to stand the case of water on its side. Should be fine though.

I would personally just use those 5 gallon jugs for holding water. The container serves it's purpose, but the seal is not rubber. It's some foam textured seal.

Yes, you can use it outside, depending on what you're using it for. It can only get wet if you put a clear, epoxy seal around the edge of the solar screen, but that may not protect any other areas that water may seep into. It was not made to get wet, or for wet weather. As far as working for boat batteries, look the company up on the internet and ask them that question. I LOVE mine and will buy another if this one gets old.
