Propane Locker Replaced

The latch was broken many years ago, and it was originally meant for holding home irrigation controls.  It was twice as large as it needed to be and stuck out a little bit, made it so you always came in and out of the cockpit using the port side of the backstay.  It had to go.  I was really happy to have found the plastic box I did, and even more surprised by the way it installed.  I still keep thinking it's too good to be true.  I used a plastic box from off of Amazon, under the name of BUD Industries NBB-15243 Style B Plastic Outdoor NEMA Box with Solid Door.  The regulator I already had fit so well that I put a hole in the top so that the gauge could be easily seen.  The box had a structure already built in that allowed me to bolt down a piece of starboard and then screw the regulator down to that.  I drilled a couple of really big holes, a couple of small ones, and wha-la.  If I need to make it more robust, I'll need to cut some small wedges out of starboard and shim it against the railing.  The stern rail is conforming to the curvature of the stern at that point and isn't level itself.  The new box is have the size and everything fits perfectly, as far as I'm concerned.  I especially like the catches as they are plastic too and seem to work well, so far.
