Overview
The TACO Marine L10-1003-1 is a Neptune II leaning post with tackle storage for smaller center console boats, especially hulls under 25 feet where cockpit space needs to work hard. It combines a cushioned helm seat, anodized aluminum frame, four aluminum rod holders, folding footrest, and removable soft side storage bag in a footprint of 14" x 35".
The under-seat area is sized for 72 qt cooler storage, with a cooler space measuring 24-1/2" high x 29-1/4" wide. Overall product dimensions are listed at 35" wide x 26" deep x 32-1/2" high, giving boat owners a useful reference point before drilling mounting holes or checking console clearance.
This leaning post is a practical fit for fishing boats that need helm seating, rod storage, gear organization, and cooler access in one station. The removable storage bag works well for tackle, tools, dock lines, or day gear that needs to come off the boat at the end of the trip.

Installation and fit
Check the 14" x 35" footprint against the deck area behind the console, then confirm steering wheel reach, throttle clearance, hatch access, cooler access, and walking space around the leaning post. The 32-1/2" height and 26" depth are useful measurements for matching the helm position to the boat's console and cockpit layout.
Because this is a deck-mounted leaning post, the mounting surface should be sound and properly backed where required. On cored or fiberglass decks, use marine bedding practices that protect the deck from water intrusion and help the mounting hardware stay secure under vibration and crew movement.
Use on board
This leaning post suits center console owners who fish, cruise, or spend long days moving between the helm, cockpit, and cooler. The rod holders help keep gear organized while underway or drifting, while the footrest gives the driver and passenger a more comfortable bracing point in chop.
The removable tackle storage bag is useful for anglers who want to load gear at home, bring it aboard as one piece, and remove it after the trip. It also helps keep loose tackle and small equipment from collecting in cockpit lockers or under the console.
Materials and care
The anodized aluminum frame and marine vinyl cushion are suited to the wet, sunny conditions found on open boats. Rinse the frame, cushion, rod holders, footrest, and storage area with fresh water after saltwater use, and let the soft storage bag dry before storing it for long periods.
For best service life, keep the cushion clean, avoid trapping moisture under covers, and inspect mounting fasteners as part of normal boat maintenance. A simple rinse and periodic check are usually enough to keep the leaning post ready for regular fishing and cruising use.
