But then Andy reminded me what he had done with his, and simple is best. Plus I looked at Tony's cooler at Tech and realized it's not rocket science. Keep most of the water from falling onto bad things, and you're okay. Have you figured out the mount yet?

The one I bought used came with a simple slab of metal with some inexpensive straps.

Nicely done Fritz!
FWIW, I would recommend drilling all the holes in the cooler as high as possible, to minimize issues with potential water leakage.

The other thing you can do to help keep the water cool is to line the inside of the cooler with Danica Patrick pictures......

After looking at the cooler last night, I see that the silicon is not adhering too well to the cooler. It's like there is an oil film on the surfaces of the cooler. I'm going to remove the silicon, sand the relevant areas of the cooler to get better adhesion, and re-silicon.

Instead of just sanding (which just puts the oil down in scratches) consider cleaning w/ something that even attacks the base plastic a little. Toluene, xylene, etc. Then maybe sand a little.

Please add a pair for me - also for draining shirt. Thanks! Trade them for the 1-1/2" aluminum angle iron you need (and I've got)? Free delivery, too.
