| Jan. 2004 | The zipper pull tabs have both come off. | Replaced with nylon cord. |
| Sept. 2003 | Black dye from the cordura on the bottom stained the console seat cushion when wet. | This appears to be a one-time problem. The stain eventually faded away. |
 West Marine Abandon Ship BagIn Service: Jan-2005 Out of Service: Aug-2006 |

| Jan. 01, 2005 | We actually had to replace the first bag purchased. The first bag purchased was poorly built. The self-healing zipper kept popping open, and the handles ripped out the first time we had it on the water. We might have gotten a lemon, because the replacement bag seemed to be of much higher quality, although the zipper still periodically would pop open | The first bag was replaced under warranty, and the second bag worked out OK, but we eventually decided to go back to our original small-sized Bass Pro Shops Extreme Boat bag. We decided we wanted to go with a couple of smaller bags. |
