- Probably not needed, but I do it anyway, non-skid cooler mat under the cooler (has never moved with that).

With the cooler tucked against the gunwale (??/side) and back of driver's seat, he just using either of those as his backrest.

I don't have a picture of the combination behind the drivers seat, but here's the two parts.

I have the same cooler but my cushion has two flaps with snaps to hold the cushion on. Works great, but must be an older model.

The cushions made for the larger cooler had that, that seems like better system. For this size the cushion was flap with velcro, with velcro you put on cooler - that pulled up first time I used it (when folks grabed cushion to open lid). So I just used heavy-duty two sided tape to 'permanently' attach cushion to cooler.
