Stove-top & Microwave waiting to be installed |
Installed but missing moldings & SS plate on right wall | New Drawer |
Review of the reasons for making this change!
Over the years, we have had boats that utilized propane as a fuel source for the
galley stove. Yes, it has always been a problem finding the proper storage
areas for the tanks. Microwave
Click on any picture to enlarge itAfter removing the old stove, tank and hose parts, I measured for a shelf
that would hold the microwave. These measurements were taken at the level of the
bottom of the old stove so that we would still have room for pots and pans
under the microwave.
Drawer-Unit
Click on any picture to enlarge itNow that we decided on a fixed stove-top the remaining room below it can be a great 18" x 18" silverware drawer. I built a shelf to cover the top of the microwave and mounted supports to hold the drawer runners. The drawer was shifted to the left to make sure it did not hit the frame for the aft cabin doorway. I then built a drawer to fit and added a teak front. Propane Stove Top

Propane LockerI am installing a propane vented and sealed locker under the aft cockpit transom seat. This part of the project involves crawling into the storage area and taking measurements....hope I don't get stuck there!
