[Rhodes22-list] rum tank in laz

[Leland]

Rummy,

These pictures aren't good but they're the best I could find.  Stan or the
previous owner bolted an "L" shaped bar on the floor underneath the port
cockpit seat.  I slide the gas tank behind it and then lift the tank's
handle over the vertical portion of the bar.  The tank is about the only
thing on my boat that doesn't move during extreme sailing and knock-downs.

The tank definitely gets UV exposure and grime.

Good luck!

Advantage to storing in the lazz is that it is out of sight, lockable and   
the lazz has loops in it to actually tie the tank in place. Under the seat 
(it's  current location) allows it to come flying out when healed over. I 
haven't found  a good way to tie it down yet under the seat. Also, out of
the 
sun so gas tank  lasts longer. No UV exposure. In my boat there is no 
connection between the lazz  and any other part of the boat. I know because
I have 
crawled around inside mine  several times.
