To complete this kit as the image shows you need to purchase the deck hardware DUM The U. Crockett was one of the seventeen gunboats in the Asheville Class.
This class had the distinction of being the first group of Navy Ships to be powered by a gas turbine. The Crockett was capable of a top speed of 50 knots but more impressive still was the fact that she could accelerate her tons from 0 to 40 knots in 60 seconds.
The Crockett, stationed in South Vietnam was designed for coastal patrol, blockade reconnaissance, and support missions. But rest assured when duty called, the crew of the U. Crockett could get there in a hurry. The Dumas model of the Crockett is a builder's boat.

Steam powered all her career she was inauspiciously sold for scrap in She was one of many railroad tugs, designed to transfer railroad cars from one side of New York to the other on barges known as car floats. Railroad tugs almost always towed barges alongside, with one car floating on each side, hence the heavy guards and the use of single posts instead of H-bitts.

Carol Moran, nd Scale. There is something about a relatively small boat pushing or a towing a comparative behemoth. And at Dumas we are known for our tugs. As I said I don't know where one would buy a non-approved type tank.
There are stainless steel, aluminum and fiberglass tanks available but by far the most common are plain ol' painted steel like for your home BBQ and they all have advantages and disadvantages. It is becoming more difficult to find a place to refill your tanks as many outlets are moving to a tank exchange program. We found when traveling the ICW it was really difficult to get our tanks re-filled, so we have gone to the painted steel variety. A little bit of surface rust can be cleaned and painted but when you see a tank like the one at far right, get rid of it.
If you see a small dent or hair line fracture regardless of tank material, get rid of it. Liquefied petroleum gas,although very safe if handled properly, is not to be toyed with. Dented - Get rid of it! Rusty - Get rid of it! Corrosion resistant metallic tubing such as annealed copper, grade K or L conforming to ASTMBa with a wall thickness of not less than 0. UL 21 approved type Gas Hose".
Buy the hose. It's cheaper, safer and easier to install. Copper does corrode and quite quickly in salt water in the right conditions. It also suffers from fatigue due to vibration. Combine the two and you have a relatively short life span. The copper in your home plumbing system does not vibrate at the RPM of your Yanmar nor hum like a tuning fork from your rig vibration. Reduce vibration and protect the line as much as possible by securing with clips or straps.
If you have copper lines, the securing material must be galvanically compatible. If the copper shows a crease at a bend, corrosion or just looks old get rid of it Flexible fuel lines don't last for ever either and should be replaced when they become hard or at the slightest sign of cracks. Fuel hose against sharp FRP edge. No chafe protection fitted.
Corroded copper fuel lines - to da dump! Rusty electric solenoid, you'd trust this? I should put this in great big type and in French All propane fuel connections must be made inside the propane tank locker with one more permitted at the appliance.
Exception - A flexible section shall be used at gimbaled appliances if copper tube is used. Gear clamp fuel connection. Typical of DIY installers and European builders. This copper to hose connection is bent and corroded. Again - get rid of it. At right - if you add up all the various connections including 4 gear clamps you come up with eight potential sources of propane leaks in this engine compartment.
This is a prime example of why all connections must be made inside the propane locker. Far right - The poor installation of fittings in the propane locker of this brand new boat severely bends and stresses the fuel line. This hose will crack sooner rather than later. Multiple gear clamp connections exposed in the engine compartment. New boat - hose so severely bent it will fracture sooner rather than later.
At right - Two valves and seven connections under the aft berth without drainage! Many French boats are, and most Whitby and Hinterhoeller Niagara's and Nonsuch's boats were built with connections and valves inside Gas Powered Rc Model Boats 01 accommodation spaces like this. Far right - This brass home plumbing gate valve is the "remote" propane shut-off device and is in the galley over the stove. Do you think this valve is gas rated? These valves are under the aft berth typical of European builders This plumbing gate valve is right over the stove and is the propane "remote" shut-off valve.
Gas rated? This means it should be used for no other purpose and that it should be designed to discourage other uses. It also means that the drain from the bottom of the locker should be dedicated and should not be T'd into exhaust lines, scuppers or anything else. The locker must be "top loading" so leaked gas does not spill out when you open the locker. Also, the drain min. All connections, regulators, solenoids, pressure gauges The purpose of the locker is to contain propane leaks and direct any fumes safely overboard.
Simple goal, simply achieved as propane is heavier than air. Now it is not so heavy that it can't be pushed around by a light breeze so we don't want any drain fitting next to a port. At right - DIY at it's finest. Honest, this is a genuine photo from an actual survey. Once again proof that Darwin was wrong or this guy would have been extinct. I find it hard to believe that I share DNA with this fella.
They built it this way. No drain, no remote shut-off, no easy access to shut-off valve, no pressure gauge, no approved fuel hose and no brains. Remove 28 screws to remove the deck late then turn off the propane, no pressure gauge, no remote shut-off. A slight breeze from astern and any propane fumes are going right down the companionway. That is, if they make it past the lit cigarettes. My experience with English cars convinced me that English people should not be allowed to play with electricity.
My experience with French boats has convinced me that French people should not be allowed to play with propane. I've heard that many French people are heavy smokers!
Note the CE certification label on the steering pedestal and the factory installed propane bottle open to the cockpit. A CE certified boat. Thats not a tank securing strap, It's the UV degraded fuel line going to a hole in the transom. Right - This Bayfield 36 has a side loading non-gasketed locker. Any leakage is going right into the cockpit. Hope there aren't any Frenchmen on board. Far right - This Marine Trader was built without any means on securing the tank which is exposed to all the non-ignition protected equipment under the helm and is only inches away from a pipe that leads all the hydraulic steering lines and electrical cables directly into the engine compartment.
I don't remember ever seeing a Taiwan trawler that wasn't built this way. At right - In the center you can see the copper fuel line and in the lower right you can see the rope and rusty chain. I had to remove the very rusty anchor to Gas Powered Model Boat Kits 01 get this photo of the fuel line. The copper was fractured from all the pulling back and forth to get it connected to the tank. Far right - This after market polyethylene propane locker is actually a pretty good product when the lid is fitted but this guy forgot to read the instructions.
Propane is heavier than air but he connected the drain hose to the top and ran the fuel line out the drain hole at the bottom of the locker. They all had side loading lockers! The power boat locker opened directly far right over the engine compartment hatch with batteries and a whole load of non-ignition protected equipment directly underneath.
On a side note none of these boats had the Transport Canada Certification label so were being offered for sale against the laws of this country. Transport Canada has abdicated.
CE Certified! At right - Toronto Boat Show - Jeanneau sailboat with a side loading propane locker in the cockpit with no gaskets which doesn't really matter anyway since they put those pretty vent hole in the door. Far right - This fella went to the trouble of buying a proper poly propane locker lid not shown then installed it under his dinette and led a drain hose to a throughull higher than the top of the locker.
CE Certified - Jeanneau at Toronto Boat Show - side loading, no hatch gaskets which would have been pointless anyway since they put those vent holes in the hatch. Arrow points to drain hose outlet. All appliances must be fitted with flame failure devices thermocouples. The shut-off solenoid switch must be near the stove and be reachable without reaching over a burner.
A propane fume detector is required. Other appliances - A CO alarm and oxygen depletion sensor are required if a heater is fitted. Each appliance shall be supplied by a separate regulated supply line that is continuous and originates inside the propane locker.
