Hi folks,
I want to install the famous "Bottleport" on my boat. I want to determine which location might be the best. Now that it has been out for awhile people have probably had enough experience with it to lend some good advice. I presently don't have any inspection ports on my boat so it could go anywhere.
Next to the centerboard grants great access to the bottle and is a great place for an inspection port but are the control lines prone to snag on it or does it ever get smushed by a knee?
On the side of the aft cockpit looks like a good place as well. It's out of the way of almost everything and is still reachable. What about the load on the sidewall of a bottle of fluid suspended horizontally?
On top of the aft deck would work. Still very easy to reach and also away from everything.
If anyone has some practical experience with this please let me know what works and what doesn't...........Thank ye.
