I did, but after considering the fire hazard, and fuel load, I pulled it out.* The less fuel (flamable materials other than diesel) available, the less chance for fire.* No solvents, paint, rags, cardboard or other fuel sources are stored there now.

As for dining in the engine room, I have gone one better.* On charters, I've slept there. Warm, dry, plenty of room and private................Arctic Traveller

My boat drinks ten, feeds eight, sleeps 5, above deck. Engine room drinks four, feeds four, sleeps two.*

I'm going to the boat to work on the problem but I won't be eating lunch in the engine room!

I'm waiting on a quote to do the cabin floor in nu-teak. That will solve the problem of stains on the carpet!
