The Aquatainer 7-gallon fits perfectly in the 26X battery box location on port side behind galley with no trimming required. Held in place with HDPE cage. Suction hose with strainer (inside container) fits thru the vent with a 90 deg fitting. Pump (1.2GPM 45PSI) is mounted behind the container. Attenuator (1 liter) is mounted just forward of the pump on the inside of the galley. Extra water jugs are carried forward under the V berth. I like the battery location as it is easy to fill or just open lid to see how much water remaining.
