I bought a 2 gallon tank that I was hoping would fit under the seat box. Not quite. I would have had to make some changes to the box that I wasn't willing to do, and I didn't want the tank sitting out where it is now. The $75 tank goes back on Ebay. The $15 blue tank wins the day.
I bought two replacement caps for the kerosene can. One to be modified to fit the Espar tank pickup and the other in case I needed to make a shore run for kerosene or diesel for the heater. It turns out that I only used one gallon the first year, so refilling isn't a worry.
Putting the house and starter batteries under the passenger seat leaves just enough room for my 2 gallon kerosene tank.

The house and starter battery were moved from under the splash well to the passenger side seat box to improve the trim of the boat. The batteries have Anderson connectors to allow them to be unplugged and removed.
The cables and wires are now in a flexible tube that runs above the hatch, leaving enough storage room for fishing poles and a boat hook. The hatches lock, so it is the only secure area on a CD16.
Here are the cables and wires in a flexible tube. The flexible pipe will allow me to put it in a position to maximize the usable space created by my new hatch. You can see that all of the seat box pop rivet holes have been drilled out and are ready for the epoxy fill.

Espar D2 heater install

This new hatch is the proposed location for an Espar D2 Diesel heater. The heater is a little smaller than a football, but on a CD 16 even that amount of room is hard to find. It appeared that an access hatch in the cockpit panel would provide enough room. These hatches were available in "Seafoam," a color that some websites said was discontinued. It matches pretty good.
