Handy bag for gas cylinder storage on your boat

[wonkywinch]

I was looking for a bag or sack to put my spare 907 cylinder into the anchor locker without it getting all beaten up and rusty. A small bag I could lower it, move or retrieve it easily. I just discovered Draper do a little bucket toolbag that fits perfectly.

It's 25cm/25cm so ideal for the 907/904 and I'm sure a 4.5kg Calor bottle would fit also. A short line through the handles and it now sits comfortably out of the way with the anchor chain. It's a little over £12 and the colour matches too.

I have a couple of the Campingaz branded covers which I think I must have bought more than 10 years ago . I don't think they would have been particularly popular since I recall they were being sold off cheaply at Millet's . I don't see them advertised now .

I found a similar item on Ebay being sold by Ducks Back for around £12 but didn't fancy relying on the little plastic handle to lift it in and out of the locker. This type of cover also leaves the base exposed to still rust.

I must have used the little plastic handle to lift a cylinder dozens of times and had no issues . After all that's what the handle is designed to do..

with the cost of those darn bottles the next stage will be a safety deposit box !!
