The propane locker on Alera is on the Sbd side of
the helm station just inbound of the fuel
filler. It has some sort of insert on the
bottom. I'm not sure if it's painted wood or
fiberglass. I am considering reenforcing it and
mounting my linear drive to it, upsidedown. Now
you have me wondering if it is silid enough to
handle he lateral load and/or how much
reenforcing it's going to need to do so.

Subject: Stus-List Propane locker followup question - Wood panel at
the bottom?
Hello all,
In the propane locker in our 1994 C&C 37/40+,
there is a wood panel that has been painted
white over varnish and is screwed down.? I
forget the reason, but a couple years ago I
needed to remove it, and I wanted to make sure
it was well sealed so propane fumes would not leak below.?
However, the idea of a panel relying on sealer
to not have leaks leaves me a bit nervous.? Even
worse, if I am forced to get a survey for
insurance purposes, I'm not sure this would pass.
Is there an inherent reason for having a
removable panel in the bottom of the propane locker?
Do any of you have the same model boat with a removable panel??
I can get behind the locker by crawling into
various fetal positions - not fun, but possible.?
Looking forward to hearing any insights,
