  1. May I thank everyone so far for there views and comments so far.

    Some have stated what I was asking in my original question of other boat owners who have the same set up as mine in what is the best solution I could use for the safety of my boat and others

    as in the pass other boat safety inspections have never picked up my boat for this important issue hence way I’m trying to understand for my safety as well as others so no one will get hurt

    am all for the BSS and I do know the rules after being on the water 23 yrs but if you don’t ask i will never know what is right or wrong

     

  2. Recently had a BSS done 

    i have a 50 Tug Narrowboat with gas lookers on both sides as you enter the boat from the bow

    i can store 2 x 13kg gas bottles one in each

    my questions are is there any other Tug Narrowboat with this set up and have you had any troubles with passing a boat safety test
