Lazarette
The lazarette beneath the cockpit is
accessed via a large, deck strong hatch in the
cockpit. It holds the furnace and steering
gear, as well as providing storage space for
other items.
The lazarette hatch. Note the steps and teak flooring in picture.
Looking to port inside the lazarette. Rudder gear is under the raised section
of the floor to left. Pipes & valves on the far wall (the boat’s hull to port) are
the rudder hydraulic system, and you can see the autopilot pump.
Between the tanks forward is
one of the boat’s bilge pumps.
Note the neat wiring
arrangement.
This picture shows the net installed to
keep material away from the furnace!
To starboard aft in the lazarette is the Diesel furnace system. The exhaust
pipe is wrapped in protective insulation. Because of fire risk, do not store
anything in this area! See picture below...
Two 50-gallon tanks are in the lazarette, neatly plumbed with sight tank
level gauges.
