Installing propane Locker for stove conversion
- Thread starter Blackacre
- Start date
previously had fabricated a locker that held 2-5lb tanks in lazerate and found we were going thru a tank a week while living aboard in Bahamas. Have since mounted a 20lb composite tank on the stern rail and even though it isn't very yachty looking it lasts us about 4 weeks. Wife bakes quite often and we use the grill almost nightly. Also carry a spare 10lb alum tank on stern rail. Found access to propane fills while traveling in out islands was limited. Sorry but no pics as boat on hard in Fl and we are currently summering in northern NY.
The OP has probably finished his install but I would add my 2 cents anyway.
I have a H34 that I just purchased this summer and it had been converted to propane 15 years ago according to the receipts that came with the boat. They mounted a 5 lb. tank on the cowling under the boom. Don't have a good photo but the attached show is it pretty well. This location seemed like a good spot to me since it didn't eat up any precious storage space in the lockers and you don't have to worry about fumes building up in a contained space.
I've read several discussions on where to put propane tanks on this model but have not seen another installation where mine is located. Thought others might be interested in this option.
