[Rhodes22-list] Water Tank Installation location

[Jay Curry]

Starboard side just under the end of the bow cushion. I have no idea how 
other boats are configured or how our refurbished 92 was originally 
outfitted. We chose a portable head. There is a plywood bulkhead about 15" 
tall supporting the end of the starboard bow cushions and serving as the 
forward wall of the portable head space. Between that wall and the forward 
bow foam filled section is a space about 18 inches wide, 16 inches deep and 
about 3 feet across. The tank stands unsecured on a 14 by 10 inch side in 
that space.
