Finished propane box, moved vent hose up - 2012

.

The finished propane box looks like this

 We did have a bit of sea water in it (only a inch or so) from our two nasty passages San Diego to Cabo San Lucas and Cabo San Lucas to Mazatlán. We are hoping this is not a regular occurrence or it will have to become a maintenance chore. The through hull for the propane box had to be up a few inches as you could see in the earlier post because it needs to drain out of the boat at a down ward angle. To accomplish that we needed to raise the hole in the box some.Note:
 We raised the the vent hose to have a higher loop and that fixed the water problem,.

The hoses keep the tanks from moving around and also give us a place to store spare hose for the boat 😊

 Time will tell but I bet unless we get a lot of bad seas we do not need to wipe it out.
