Fred: I have two ten pound aluminum tanks that just fit in the locker. They are, according to https://www.propanetankstore.com/shop/10-lb-2-4-gallon-aluminum-marine-cylinder-with-opd-and-fill-valve/, 10.38 inches in diameter and a tight fit at that. I can't see getting the Manchester unit in. The aluminum tanks last me all summer and don't corrode as the steel ones do.
FWIW: When I purchased the boat some 17 years ago, I found the propane locker was quite intrusive when I was standing behind the wheel. No foot room. I cut the lip off the rear portion pr the locker, cut the lid back too, and moved the whole shebang back about two inches. Made standing behind the wheel a lot more comfortable.

Right now, the only tanks I can fit are two five-pound tanks; I’m thinking of changing to a single horizontal twenty-pounder like the Manchester 10487TC: http://www.mantank.com/products/rvproducts.htm This would accomplish a couple of things; first, it would double the amount of propane I can carry. And second, it can be fitted with a standard 90 ohm level sender that I can hook up to the tank monitor I just ordered for use with my water and holding tanks. So if anyone has a chance to do a little measuring, I would appreciate it — thanks! — Fred Fred Street -- Minneapolis S/V Oceanis (1979 C&C Landfall 38) -- on the hard in Bayfield, WI :^( _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com [email protected]
