I scraped my original 1989 propane tank and bought a replacement tank from Catalina Direct. It is too tall for the cover to close. It's my fault for "assuming" Catalina's replacement tank would be the same dimentions. Just wanted to let folks know to measure before purchasing.

Thanks Bill - what size did you end up getting (maybe where) - I'm sure others in the future might have the same problem. I went looking and didn't find any that were shorter than what CD was peddling (unless it is horizontally mounted).

My fault for not reading the whole webpage:
1) If the propane tank in your boat is stowed in a plastic locker with a blue plastic lid, you will likely need to replace the lid if you are replacing the older style tank/valve combo. The new tank is taller to make room for the overfill protection device inside the tank. Unless the lid was already replaced in the past to accommodate the larger tank, the new tank demands more space inside the locker. You must measure the available height to make certain there is adequate room for the newer, slightly taller, tank. See the related part below pictured under "May we also suggest".
