*Nice boat.* I like you're set up.****** KJMarin wrote:
In the sailing dinghy that's stowed in a cradle on top of the aft cabin. In addition to the outboard fuel the dinghy also holds our crab pot, oil for our anchor lantern, small propane bottles for our portable heater, and other odds and ends. We leave the drain plugs in the keel of the dingy out so any gas fumes that might escape inside the dinghy drain out and overboard.

*The real question is where YOU can safely store it.* Your boat may have some suitable areas that others may not or vice versa.KJ wrote:

*If I should ever paint it, I will likely opt for a navy blue hull. If for no other reason, the fact that I like yours so well. Or black.Carey wrote:

This may get interesting when you are south of about 20N.
What brand of davit is that?* I am starting to look for a setup that can safely keep a dinghy and motor in the ready to launch position. I would like to do it with a 11' Dinghy and 9.9hp motor if at all possible

*The only gasoline on my boat is in an eleven gallon seat tank built into my dinghy, which is held upright on the davits. But honestly, I would be happy to carry a can in my cockpit or swimstep. I would not however carry it on the flybridge, as it would get into places not desired if a leak occurred. I also wouldn't carry it in the cabin or engine room.

It's a custom davit I designed and had built. It's totally manual, and supporting a relatively heavy ten foot dink with a fifteen horse honda. Total wieght is about 450lbs with fuel.*The only gasoline on my boat is in an eleven gallon seat tank built into my dinghy, which is held upright on the davits.
