I agree with George, I had tried to figure out how to build in a locker below but have settled on building one to go on the aft deck to starboard of the lazerette hatch. It will also make a nice seat. It is built for a 10# aluminum tank. Andy Shaw #477 -- George Dinwiddie wrote: Pete, I really don't think you're going to find a suitable place belowdeck for propane. Remember, the drain of the propane locker has to be strictly downhill, and above the waterline, at all angles of heel. A friend managed to turn the lazarette of an Alberg 35 into a propane locker for two 5-pound tanks, but it was very tight geometry and it meant he lost the entire locker. I think your best bet is a deck-mounted box. - George p.a.amos@tesco.net wrote: > Roger,thanks for your thoughts,sory for the delayed reply.I think > siting the tanks in cockpit lockers is too difficult and leaving them > mounted externally means they are exposed and probably in the way. > How about in a box fixed to the Vberth/cabin bulkheae on the Vberth > side.Using slimline tanks about 10lb horizontaly mounted,one on each > side,as high as possible so that the box can be vented to the side > deck.
