Rusty gas locker

The gas locker is rusted through. So, I went at it, in order to replace it with a stainless one...

First I had to figure out how to get at it. The locker is behind the vanity unit in the aft cabin. This unit is made in two halves - top and bottom. First, I removed the panels on either side of the unit at the end of the beds. Here, on either side of the vanity unit are battens, that support the end panel of the bed. Remove these as they connect the top and bottom half of the vanity unit.
Next, climb in to the the bottom half of the vanity unit and undo the two vertical screws that go through a batten, just behind the sink, and into the top half. Then, remove the taps.

Now, you should be able to remove the top half, pulling it out towards you.

And finally, you have access to the gas locker. As you can see, mine was not in great condition. The locker lid had been leaking for some time. I will replace it with 316 stainless...

... once I figure out how to get the locker out! It is glassed in around the topsides and is glassed into the supports underneath. Much pulling and grunting delivered little. A job for next week.
