Hello all,
We have recently purchased an 1999 Island Packet and plan to install a Dickinson propane heater. The propane locker on the boat holds two 10 lb tanks. Our stove is propane. We would like to carry a 3rd Xtra tank for switching out , and I’m looking for suggestions on the best way to do that. Would we simply tie it to the rails on deck? Or is there a special storage solution that is more attractive and safe? This does not need to be a functioning propane locker, with gas lines and all. Just a decent safe way to carry an extra 10lb tank. We have tons on room in our cockpit lockers. Is the someway to build a safe storage locker for propane inside , since the tank would not be hooked up?
Thanks so much for any ideas or suggestions.
