    Hi I am new to the Monsun 31 and just bought a used one in Sweden. Could you tell me more about your gas installation, where do you hide the bottles and if your Force 10 is gimballed.
    Regards
    John

      Hi John,
      congratulation on buying this great boat. We have two Worthington horizontal aluminum 5kg bottles on the deck, screwed to a teak rack, which is bolted though the deck (well sealed, no leaks). A flexible hose leads forward to a through-deck fitting and then back to the stove. Our stove is not gimballed, but we have installed extra large railing around the stove, which can hold our pressure cooker or a cattle even in quite bad weather. Works like a charm! Let us know if you have any more questions 😉
      Good luck
