On my H-16, I had the metal rack mounted in front of the cross bar, which utilized the pivoting top playmate cooler. It worked great.
On my H-18, the crossbar is too close to the water for the aforementioned type. The only coolers that I've seen being used long term on the H-18 are small soft sided coolers with straps, which you can secure to the tramp lacing directly behind the mast and front crossbar. I expect someone on the list can direct you to a place where you can buy one. I double checked Murrays web site and couldn't find anything either. I searched soft sided cooler on Google and had numerous hits. You might find something there.
