ABSTRACT:
A storage accessory is used in conjunction with a personal watercraft in order to increase the storage capacity of the personal watercraft. The storage accessory has a rigid container that forms a storage compartment. The storage container is cylindrical so as to fit inside of a toroid inflatable tube. The tube has a cover around its sides and bottom. A flange is coupled to the container and bears on the top of the tube so as to keep the bottom of the container flush with the bottom of the tube. The tube cover is coupled to the stern of the personal watercraft with a multi point coupling so as to cause some deformation of the tube. This makes the storage accessory an extension of the watercraft hull so that the storage accessory moves in unison therewith. The leading edge of the storage accessory rides on top of the transom so that the water propulsion jet is located underneath the storage accessory, pushing it up. The storage accessory can be removed from the tube and used as a table.
