Cockpit locker dimensions?

[Moto]

Hello all!
I am in need of the interior height dimension of the aft cockpit locker. I purchased a Bosch 7 gal hot water tank to install in my 94' PDQ36 and am worried that it won't fit (too tall)! I was planning on installing it in the stbd aft cockpit locker behind the stbd outboard compartment (also curious about the hatch opening dimensions but not too concerned as I am a glassman). Anybody near their PDQ? (I'm about 1,200 miles away...)
Thanks in advance!!!

Hi Moto,

I measured the dimensions on my 2000 model as -
Opening = 11.75" x 20.25 ". The internal mounting space = 32"L X 30" W X 25.75"H.

Thanks Jim!
I really appreciate it! This is good news as I needed a minimum of 21". I imagine our lockers are similar. Just to be clear, the stbd locker I'm referring to is part of the cockpit seating area ( just aft and inboard of the stbd outboard locker...)
Thanks again Jim!!!

OK, these dimensions are for the locker where my water heater is. I'll measure the cockpit locker and let you know.

Great!
Thanks again and sorry for the hassle...

My opening is 20" long by 13" wide although if you can tilt whatever you put in there you can gain about 1/2" width due to the curved front of the lid. Inside it is 20" wide x almost 21" deep.

Exactly what I needed. Thanks again!
I owe you one!

Double tapping the answer to the question. Was on our boat today and took pictures of our back locker. Put into a word doc, summary below.

7533: Locker on left (it is closed, the motor hatch is open). My dog is enjoying the dun
7534: Inside of locker with my new water heater.
7535: Height, but there may be an inch or two farther back—this is the lip that the locker hatch fits into. I apologize for not measuring back farther. So 20” to bottom of lip plus an inch or two.
7538: Width in the back area (about 22”)
7539: Depth (29”)

The opening is 13” wide—I just put a seaward 6 gal tank into that locker and it is 13 inches wide x high and it BARELY fit into the locker. But it did fit.

Thanks Jim!
Sorry about the delayed response (crazy busy season up here). That is the same spot I plan on installing mine. The pics were extremely helpful for choosing the correct tank, I ordered an Isotemp spa-30 (should be here next week). I'll have to modify the opening to get it into the cavity but the cavity itself will provide ample space! Your efforts are much appreciated!
