Location: Forest Lake, Mn. | I can't give you any pictures of my luretubes because I don't have a digital camera. What I did was contact Dan over at Dunwright Tackle. He was selling clear plastic lure tubes to be used around the front deck standup pedistal seat base. (I assume he still markets these) I asked him if I could purchase some of the tubes unassembled. He kindly sold me some and put me in touch with the company that makes the glue he uses. All I had to do was measure my livewell and storage compartment, figure out how many tubes would fit, cut them to length and glue them together. They just sit in the compartments and are not attached to it so I can pull them out whenever I want. The only complication was figuring out where to leave space so the compatment latches had room to turn in so I could open and close them. The pattern I used is as follows.
Storage compartment (x=lure tubes and the top row of x's is the back of the compartment)
xx x xx
xx x xx
xx x xx total of 24 tubes with 3 to 5 lures per tube
xx x xx
xx O xx
the x's with no space between them are glued side to side together,as well as front to back. The front row with the O is the open space where the latch turns in. This is a top down view of the pattern. The row of 4 tubes is not glued to the others along side of it so I can pull all of them out of the compartment.
Live well pattern, top down view again and in this case the top row of x's is the right side of the livewell with the first x being the back and the second x being the front) Again, the O is open area without a luretube so the hatch latch has room to swing.

I hope this helps. Sorry about the pix request this is the best I can do for you.
