Eventually I might build a custom locker in the aft lazarette. But as I'm focused now on turning Kiki back into a functional sailboat again, that's more of a project than I want to get into right now.
Here are the two locations I'm debating.
1. Sitting in the aft section of the cockpit.
I'd have to run the drains directly out of the boat, but that's a easy project I want to do anyways. I'd also have to build a cover over it.
The only real downside I see here is that I might possibly want that extra space while sailing (it doesn't seem like it) and that it might make it a bit more awkward getting into and out of the aft cockpit area.
2. Attach it to the aft pulpit.
This is a more standard install. But I do a bunch of raftups and it would be a bit of a hazard potentially catching on other boats.
And in terms of possible fumes, depending on which way the wind is blowing it actually seems less safe than option #1.
