Propane locker replacement

Propane lockers are a special breed. Your insurance carrier might have requirements on those.. They need a gasket top and overboard drain..

When all else fails, ask Rudy Nickerson at D&R Marine.

If you can’t buy a new one, can you use some epoxy and fiberglass to fix the old one?

The PO of my O’Day 322 modified one of the propane lockers to make it deeper. I am not sure what the O34 locker looks like.

Yes, I am aware of those things. thank you for the heads up. My propane liner is just a bit brittle and I would like to replace with an exact oem copy if it is available anywhere.

Are you familiar with Rudy at D&M Marine in Assonett, MA ?

What is the locker made of? Is it fiberglass?

It is some type of plastic. It has stood up well for 50+ years. I just want to make certain the propane stays safe.

Thanks for the info. Don't have much to offer in terms of a solution other than perhpaps someone could 3-D print one. If a crack develops West Systems G-Flex may be able to seal it. West claims G-Flex will work on plastic.

My understanding is those plastic liners are not available, you may be able to find a used one, mine are in good shape.
