I don't know exactly how your boat is made, I have a 27. On my last boat, I took a plastic storage box (aprox 18in cube) and turned it upside down over the depth sounder. Then stacked all my crap on top and around it. Never had a problem. Don, C27, #6293, Niceville, FL

Agreed, Sail #336. Any suggestions for the storage area beneath the fore bed for protecting the depth and knot meter so that you can actually put something heavier than life preservers in it?

I came to the same conclusion - full water tank, hot water heater tank/water, ice, food, cockpit locker, etc. on the port, fuel tank near the centerline, and an empty holding tank to starboard. She seems pretty plumb when empty and dry. I try to balance by keeping other gear and equipment to starboard. I'm open to other ideas... I haven't notice any effect on sailing performance. Sean =0 A
