Fishing crate and components, accessories and mounts therefor

Abstract

A crate has an arrangement of fastening holes for mounting crate components, as well as various mounts and accessories to the outer and inner surface of the crate. The fastening holes are blind holes that do not breach, penetrate or pass-through panels defining the crate so that the crate remains watertight or sealed or leakproof. The fastening holes may be arranged to provide points of intersection for rules or guides that define a grid to aid in mounting components, mounts and accessories at desired locations. Outer fastening holes are provided in a repeating pattern and superimposed on inner fastening holes. The fastening holes provide for ease of customization without the need for drilling.
