Regarding the Keel issue. If she took a hard grounding, likely rocks you are looking at radiating damage from the point of impact. My experience was on a J29, hitting a rock solid on the front of the keel. Stopped us dead from 5 it?s to 0. Keel stub bedding did not let go, but we did have deform

Yes, I built one for mine. I made a mold out of plywood, fiberglassed

I'm not aware of what fuel source you have now, but have you considered CNG?
Sometimes a little harder to find a place to fill the tank, but would remove
the need for a separate locker.

Hi Jeff. Many thanks for taking the time to respond. May I ask where you
mounted the locker?
A friend with a 1984 30 MK1 has his locker hanging between his starboard
cockpit locker and the transom, accessible from above (i.e. from the
cockpit), with a lid that looks very much like an anchor ch
Are you up to cutting a hole in one of the cockpit seats aft of the wheel
and building your own locker into that? It is wasted space on the 35 Mk.1
as I remember. You could put one of the skinny tanks in there I think,
with perhaps a cover made from the top you cut off the seat to make the

Just a thought. A propane locker needs a drain to relieve any heavier than air
propane gas, so a gutter around the lid is nice to have but not necessary.
Any rain getting into the locker will simply run out the drain.

I put mine in starboard locker aft, next to the wheel, slightly aft of

There is enough space below it for me to still wiggle in to gain access

As mentioned elsewhere, there isn't a need for a gutter. Propane is
heavier than air so
it sinks through the vent in the bottom. Just need to ensure a tight
fit between your
manufactured box and the bought lid. Epoxy will take care of that. I
used the bolts to
hold it in place while the epoxy
We have CNG on Persistence. While it does eliminate the need for a dedicated
propane locker it can be quite a pain to have the tank refilled
(Co-incidentally I am doing that today). The tanks are heavy and once empty if
you don't have a second tank you have to wait until it is refilled before
Why bother with a box?
On our 35 MK 1 we went with a rail mount. Had a “T” put in the hose with one
hose to the grill and the other to the galley stove.

Anything can be repaired. It only takes money. Based on the pictures, I can

I spend about $3 or so to fill my CNG tanks at the local CNG filling station,
if this station did not exist I would have to switch to propane. Paying
$75-$100 to exchange CNG tanks at one of the few places that does it would get
old fast!
The gauge is nice, CNG pressure is linear, propane stays
Yeah. I forgot to mention the cost. $0.40 for a fill for me. Plus a $10
service fee. Pretty nice!

Replace the whole fill with one made of plastic. You won't need a winch
handle, and it won't corrode.

The threads are either 1 ¼” (1 5/8” ) NPT or 1 ½” NPT (1 7/8”)
I keep a spare 1 ¼” Plastic Pipe Plug from Home Depot in a drawer on the off
