Good idea, I will try to rig a way to hold the bottles on the transom instead of inside a locker. Another advantage of the MSR bottle, is that the same fuel bottle can be used for cooking. I do all my cooking on-board with an MSR Dragonfly stove, which can run on regular pump gasoline- so I only need to bring one fuel for the motor and stove to share. When I'm camping in the desert with the MSR stove using my diesel Isuzu Trooper, I swap jets on the stove to run it on diesel fuel, so again I only need to bring one fuel.
