2009 - Marina Cortez San Diego, CA
The propane locker took some thought and we decided to put it in the port lazeratt. We decided on two ten pound composite bottles.
There was a lot of thought going into this.
The amount of propane we may use and the ease of getting them filled.
Where we would put the propane locker.
What kind of bottles did we want.
We decided on the new composite see through bottles. We like that they are light and so dingy and even buss friendly. We therefore could not buy a locker if we wanted to. They do not make one for two composite ten pound bottles at this time.
Making one is a bit of a challenge. We do not even have a garage. We have no space or tools like a table saw. We were able to enlist the help of a friend to use his table saw at his garage to cut the pieces of marine plywood and assemble them together. It is far from finished as we need to put a scupper in the bottom and fiberglass the whole thing and make a top. You can see the basic structure and the place we are going to put it. It will be removable for servicing other areas of the lazerett. We have other fiberglass projects to do this summer so this will be included. At the moment we are using a bottle on the stern.
