Soap Bottle Holder for Boat & RV

Posted by on

Okay, so our new Soap Bottle Holder for Boat & RV is a little different from our customary line of flexible arm products. Nonetheless, it still fits with our mantra to "hold what you need, right where you need it."

This past year I purchased a used sailboat and was surprised that neither the galley or head had a means to hold liquid soap.  Normally a boat or RV with a galley, head, bathroom or kitchen would have an under-counter liquid soap dispenser.  The problem with these - ask me how I know - is that you have to drill a big hole in your countertop or vanity, they are expensive, and they tend to break after a few years. Even the decorative liquid soap dispensers for household use are hard to fill and fail after a few years.  I have always preferred the little pre-filled Softsoap bottles that you can get at Walmart for just over a dollar.  They work great, last seemingly forever and are easy to refill.  Why not use these in your boat or RV?

So we set out to solve this problem with our new Soap Bottle Holder for Boat & RV.  It's made of tough ABS plastic, fits most common liquid soap dispensers like SoftSoap brand 7.5 and 11.25 fluid ounce bottles.  I gave our CAD guy a rough sketch with dimensions and voila, we sent the file out for 3D printing.  I installed two in my 1985 Catalina 27 sailboat - one in the galley and one in the head and they worked great!
My first installation was with little zinc-coated screws but I soon discovered that when these get wet they quickly rust.  So we switched to stainless steel.  And for those folks with really nice boats and RV's - who may not want to drill into their countertops or vanities - we also include a 3M/Scotch Extreme indoor/outdoor double-sided mounting tape.  You choose - they will hold your soap bottle holder firmly under any conditions.
