No, only the occasional toe stubbing. Actually, you really don't want any gas odors in the cabin.

It would be secured to the side of one of the cabin berths, alongside the main passageway. My engine is diesel rather than gas.No, only the occasional toe stubbing. Actually, you really don't want any gas odors in the cabin.

How far are you going between ports? I'm surprised that you would want to carry so much diesel. We have similar boats (made by the same builder) and 16 gallons of diesel is good for about 300nm of range on my boat. I have a little smaller tank (I think it is 12 or 14 gallons) and have never considered carrying more fuel. Last summer in approximately 900nm of cruising I think I went through about 20 gallons of fuel.I have 3 portable plastic 5 gallon diesel fuel tanks and 2 portable 5 gallon water tanks, to supplement the permanent 16 gallon diesel fuel and 26 gallon water tanks on my boat for my occasional coastal passages.
Alex - These bags look like they are just the ticket but a number of Amazon reviewers stated these bags impart "that" taste that sometimes develops when water is put in plastic containers. A couple of reviews stated that repeated flushes with fresh water over many days caused the unsavory flavor to dissipate.This is the bag that I use:

Pearson 28-2, 16hp Yanmar 2GM, 5 knots. My boat is about 25% lighter than yours, it isn't a surprise that I'd get better fuel economy. My estimate was a rough one, but it is pretty close. My fuel economy goes way down as I push the boat to 6 knots or more. I recently changed from a very efficient Campbell Sailor prop to a less efficient feathering prop and expect that my fuel economy will likely decrease as a result.Alex W., what size engine and boat do you have? 18.75 nm per gallon is very high. My Cal 31 with a 16hp diesel cruises at 5 kts and gets 13-14 nm per gallon.
I use solar for that, but I don't have a fridge. I don't plug the boat in at all during the summer months.Also have to consider fuel used for topping off batteries if anchored out.
