Awesome. Gonna order a set

You can find the clips at a lot of marine supply and online places. Even your local hardware store has clips for shovels, brooms etc. that would work. I bought a set at a boat show a few years ago, but so far haven't had the gonads to use the mounting screws for them that would require putting holes in the boat.
There are also some out there that are double sided so that one side clips onto a top rail or side rail etc and the other side holds the boat hook. Or "C'mere Stick" as i call it.

yeah no screws for me. Mayne the 3M velcro stuff that sticks really good

Ironically, even on my 40-foot boat, the engine room has exactly zero space for storage.  There's great clearance for maintenance, but not storage. 

In my transom locker, I have a row of hooks for hanging lines.  That way, it's easy to quickly grab the right line.  Also keeps them off the deck so they dry faster.

I like the hooks @LaRea , are they screwed on?

LaRea

It's a row of hooks connected by a backing plate.  The fasteners are through-bolts installed by removing the transom seat.

I think it's probably this:

Thank you @LaRea

My wife came up with these items for the galley. The spice rack is held on with double sided tape, the individual spices are held on by a magnet on each one. The paper towel rack came with a big stick onpiece of plastic with hooks on it.

Clever!

270 just has no room for anything...but it's more of an over night boat I guess, not extended cruizing....

skennelly

@rasbury - agreed.  My family of 3 no place to put anything

My wife bought some storage bins.

rasbury

I did buy some stackable bins to put along the midship berth but obviously takes space away from that. Don't get me wrong- our 270 is perfect for what we do. Eith the camper package up its huge..

YYZRC

Looks great Aero! What size are they?

aero3113

@YYZRC  Unfortunately there out of stock on Amazon but you can probably find them somewhere else.

Yes, they just fit in. Also there’s enough room to still be able to use the AC control panel.

@YYZRC I forgot she bought these bins also!

Coffee pod holders

As we all know Admirals rule.

Speaking of Admirals rule - not actually storage ideas but my Admiral did make some awesome removable custom fender covers from black Walmart towels for the new Yamaha SX195. I got into the game by re purposing a broken car wash brush handle. Cut the end off, made a loop of coated cable, crimped the end, slid that into the open end, drilled a hole and inserted a bolt and aircraft nut and topped-off with a rubber chair leg cover to use as a push stick. I have made a number of these over the years and they make snagging a dock cleat in a breeze - a breeze.

@Michael T - I love the loop! I think if I make one of these the Admiral will have an easier time at the stern when docking. Thank you!

Michael T

@TonyG13 .....hey Tony I have made at least a dozen of these for friends. Usually converting a standard boat hook whose tip has broken off. A couple of times I added the loop to a perfectly good one. The Admiral loves it. There are two "styles" - big loop that goes around a full sized cleat or smaller loop (like the one shown) that just snares one side of a cleat. The Admiral likes that "style" better as she can flip it off the cleat if she wants to easier than if it was fully looped around. Cheap and fast to do! This was my first "car wash handle" conversion (LOL) but same principle - an adjustable telescopic aluminum pole!

Coffee pod holders

That's enough for one morning for us. We have what some may call an addiction. Today was a light day for coffee and I still had 3 12 oz coffees. 

aero3113

Not a storage idea but my wife bought this cast iron skillet for the stove top. Works great for pancakes! Next time we’ll have some bacon and eggs also.

Picked up a new soap bottle holder. Can be used as suction cup or 3M stuck on. Seems to work pretty well with the suction cup.
