If your boat is in the water, leave the crabs in a bushel bag hang them in the water with a bunker in the bag, they will keep for weeks. If the neighbors don’t steal them.

Just put a frozen 1 gallon bottle of water in the cooler with them and they will be fine.

Ice kills
So I guess I gotta put some ice in a way that doesn't kill them

Put a few frozen water bottles in two plastic bags and tie the bags. Place them in the cooler with crabs. Keeps the temps cool and prevents the crabs from directly touching any ice.
