Beneteau 45f5 propane locker

[slavanaway]

Me and the admiral are very serious about a 45f5 we found. The PO (previous owner) took out the builtin propane locker. I hope people are still looking at the form as I need some pics of the original propane locker so I can manufacture one.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks for the pick. I will check with Beneteau if they have one, otherwise, I think this gives me what I need to build my own.

Don't forget that if you build your own you need a direct low vent from the locker

Sam, Newport Bob's comment is based on the properties of propane. It is a heavier than air gas. It will sit in the bottom of the locker. You need to vent it out and the vent needs to exit your boat below the propane locker (no drip loop). This is a critical issue. If not done correctly you can have a dangerous build up of propane. No good will come from this outcome.

Sam, if there is blank panel there now, you might look at the part for a B323. It is an insert not much bigger than a tank. One cutout, drop the insert and add the vent and you're cooking.

Kapa Rico turned out to have electrolysis problems below the water line, potable water system was not testable, wired for 220 at the doc and internally, engine was prabably shot, and more. I love the design and feel of the 45f5, but this one will not be mine. Thanks for your help.
