I have recently made a gas locker, which is attached to the deck of my boat. It is made of 9mm ply, with much love from some West Epoxy. There is a regulatory drain hole for the gas at the bottom outboard end of it.

The boat is kept warm inside.

But I have a large amount of condensation forming on the inside of the box. Can anyone suggest how this might be getting there. Also has anyone else come across this and how did you get rid of the problem?

its due to the gas being a diffrent temprature to the outside air, i dont know how you would stop this.
i had to make a bigger vent hole in the top to allow the air to circulate better.
