How to mount propane tank to aft rail

kevinmac · 24-06-2008, 15:41

I want to install a propane BBQ on the aft rail of my Maine Cat 30. I can't use the boat's on board propane tank because of difficulties getting a line aft. Can anyone point me to where to get a stanchion mount for a small propane tank?

Thanks,

Kevin

Prior to our first trip to Mexico in 1998 we converted our Ericson 35 from alcohol to propane. Follow this link to our old web site for some pictures of the tanks I mounted on the stern rail.

Thanks Mike. The pictures are very helpful. After I posted that message, I found everything I need, including the tank you used, and a tank rail mount designed for it, from Go2Marine.com.

All the best.
