I preferred the new, non-standard low aspect (fatter and shorter) 10 lb bottles. I uograded 2 years ago from CNG to Propane, in prep for my year around the Atlantic and Caribbean islands. Has anyone done this? I'm wondering how you store propane, where the cylinders go, and how you made a safe propane locker Voyager still has the original Galley Maid alcohol stove, which works well but it's time to upgrade to propane. The main downside is that the gas bottle (it is an 8 pound cylinder, kind of hard to find - I don't think there would be enough room for a standard 10 lb cylinder) is exposed to salt spray and needs frequent repainting. Be careful to install high enough to clear the winch handles. The "J" shaped pieces are needed to be able to adjust to the angles (the stern rail and stanchion are not perpendicular).
The forward end of the bar is secured to the after lifeline gate stanchion by another "J" shaped piece.
The is another U shaped stainless bar which is bolted to the main bar to fully encircle the gas bottle, clamping it in place. The bar stops just short of the vertical section of the stern rail, and a separate "J" shaped piece is boled to both the bar and to the stern rail to make the connection. The lower lifeline has been replaced with a 2" by 1/4" stainless steel bar which was has a "U" bent into it to fit around the gas bottle. Solution has the gas bottle mounted just forward of the stern rail and aft of the winch. I'd like to move them, or move one and get rid of the other.ĭoes anyone have any suggestions? So far I have thought ofġ/ one bottle upright on the cockpit in a box fastened to the mizzen (don't know where the drain overboard would lead)Ģ/ in a single box set into the seat beside the helmsman's seat Currently the gas bottles (2x11 lb) are sitting on the cockpit floor, and are covered by a plywood box that stretches the entire width of the cockpit behind the mizzen, and about 2.5ft in length. She is currently called 'Tropical Tom' This weekend I want to work on the gas stove and bottle storage.
