For safety sake, I chose to locate the propane tank on the outside cabin bulkhead. I fastened a bracket to support the base of the tank along with four eye bolts to strap the tank in place. This provides a safe and secure location for the tank.

Definitely want that stuff out of the cabin, or anywhere that it might collect if there's a leak. It's heavier than air, so it settles. A leak there would flow down into the cockpit and, theoretically, out the scuppers. Did I ever tell you about the guy I worked with at the mussel farm whose boat blew up one night while he was ashore? He had a 40 foot wooden sloop he lived on, and one night there was a propane leak that collected in his hold, and then something sparked and BOOOM! There wasn't a piece of that boat big enough to float a dog.
Speaking of deadly gasses, it's a good idea to get a couple of CO sniffers for the cabins, along with smoke detectors. With engines inside the holds, you definitely don't want to chance a CO leak. That stuff will make you permanently stupid, or worse.
