Thanks for this Michael 

I’ll have a look at that option 

My engine bay is flanked with batteries 

One side is service and starter

The other has a big battery for windlass and furler 

Plus I’ve 3 alternators  perhaps we all have. 

So not that much space for cat swinging 

But in many ways the engine bay would work well. 

Perhaps I could make a removable platform 

I’m not close to the boat at the mo but still curious about the option of between the aft toilet and the hull. Perhaps just for the RO unit 

I’ll send a few photos once I’ve settled on a good spot but very helpful to hear others experience so many thanks to those who responded

I installed an Aquabase watermaker in the engine room. The pump went on a 
small platform besides the battery compartment and the main unit is wall 
mounted at the port side of the engine room as far forward as possible.
So I still have enough place in the engine room to do all the works.

Good luck
Michael
