Not an issue in this particular case, and the same system has been
used occasionally, and successfully, on narrow boats for at least 50
years. Its great advantage is that it provides gravity feed.
I can see stability might become an issue if it was used on a boat
with a very heavy steel cabin, 5mm or even 6mm as is sometimes used.
