Steve, Thanks for the photo. I just made the locker a few months ago so I am still checking to see how well it works out. I drains OK until I get a big stern wave & have lots of people sitting aft in the cockpit. I'll keep this setup in mind should I give up on my enclosed locker though.

: John, I built a propane locker under the
: cockpit seat on the starboard side of the
: tiller. The problem I had was getting the
: floor of the locker high enough so that I
: could vent the locker overboard above the
: water line. I designed it for 2ea 1 gallon
: tanks. It ventss OK when the boat's not
: moving but sometimes the stern wave comes
: pretty close the outlet of the drain on the
: transom. I'm not 100% comfortable with this
: drain arrangement but don't have a better
: solution.
: I replaced my alcohol stove with a new Force
: 10 propane stove and also installed a propane
: heater, Dickinson P9000.
