I don't know nothin' about no propane locker, but I do know the B~C pockets are pretty nifty. Especially if you fish.

Go down to the local variety store and buy one of those canvas deals that are made to fit around a five gallon bucket. Cut the thing in half, and mount one or both pieces to the inside of the cabin door. Use the various pockets to hold your fishing tools. When you're fishing, and the door is open, the tools are right there handy. When you're done with them and the door is shut, they are safe and dry inside.

Here's the version on the Blue~C:

Nowadays, you can get the things in any color you want, just about, and can pretty much match your boat color. For the TyBoo22, my wife sewed some hemmed pockets at the top and bottom, and inserted some 1/8" stainless steel rods (TIG welding wire). That kept the canvas laying flat against the door.

Here's what they looked like:

Pretty handy for only eight bucks or so. The TyBoo25 doesn't have any yet, because my wife thinks it a party boat or something. But now me and Tiffany outnumber her, so the fishing pockets will magically appear over the winter.

Robbi,
Would love to see pictures of the Newport Fireplace once it's installed. I too would like something like this for the Cruiser. Not sure where I would put it tough.

I will post pictures as soon as I get it installed. I think that my brother is going to help me at Thanksgiving. He installed the same heater in his 30 foot sailboat. Robbi

Another item for the 'nice-to-have' locker.

I found that HONDA offers a water pressure gauge for the their line. I added those to my twin package.

I had the misfortune of picking up a plastic bag on my 18' SeaRay with a Merc 135. The only way I knew I was in trouble was when it was too late. The temp gauge went high; and, by that time I lost the water pump.

If I remember correctly they were about $50.00 each. I also found that I can use them to cross check the motor trim. Suttle, but nice feature.

I was up in Bellingham WA today and stopped in to Redden Marine http://www.reddeninc.com/ and was looking arround a bit. I spotted the Dickenson Newport propane heater/stove on sale for $458.00 I am seriously looking at these heaters for the Sensei and it looks to be just the ticket.

Roger, That is a good price. I paid $643 total for the P 9000. That included tax, 10 feet of propane hose, and a low pressure regulator kit. The kit is for use with the small disposible bottles. The heater cost was $499. I bought it at Popeye's Marine in Everett. Now, all I have to do is cut a 3 inch hole in the top of the cabin. Shocked

I trembled when I drilled the little tiny hole for the antenna wire.

It is going to be a great additon to my boat. Robbi

I remember drilling my first big hole....
It was for my Force 10 Cozy Cabin Heater...
