Dive compressor install questions

I figure regular washing with soap and water and then after drying spraying with Corrosion -X will help, I’m a big fan of Corrosion -X

I'm diving quite abit at the moment and regularly think of purchasing a gas compressor, but as you said where do you store it.

I also was thinking it would be great if they made a decent good looking case for them just like generators. I'd move the life raft of deck to the cockpit area and mount the compressor case (if there was one) where the life raft was.

Interested if anyone has seen attractive setups like this, not just a ugly box.

Even better, one of you smart engineer types needs to invent a specifically geared up compressor that can run of solar even if it takes a day to fill one tank. Did I read once here something about a setup along those lines? or even a unit that half fills tanks, I'm OK with short dives.

This is one we call the Dock Box. The compressor sits in the tray and the cover comes off for operation. When done, the cover locks down. I have had a couple of customers bolt the tray to the deck and one buy made a nice pad to put on the top and turn it into a seat. Is this what you are looking for?

That's exactly what I'm thinking of building. Had a look at your website but can see no sign of the Box listed, can you post a link with the spec/price etc.

That looks really good. I'll look at dimensions and pricing etc.
