[Rhodes22-list] Sunset

[elle]

!
The flat Atwood 6 gal tank has a kind of  groove in
the midsectiion, kind of like a baffle, separating the
tank into two parts.

This is approaching the thousand words, so I went down
to the boat & took pictures.

The holder is a U-shaped piece of starboars onto which
the tank slides.  It is then secured with the clevis
pin.

Elegant. 

Elegantly Spitzer.
