I have a 171 with a front dinette with storage under the curbside bench seat.  Under the other seat is the water pump and wiring.  With a little finesse a person could come up with additional storage. Here's how I did it:
This is the street side dinette bench storage area.  It is loosely packed with the water pump and associated hoses, and the back of the breaker box the fuse block (power center?)and all of the associated wires.

The water pump is secured with four screws.  I removed the screws and moved the water pump far enough to place the partition just forward of the power center.  I fastened the pump, and rerouted wires and hoses.


I built a partition to separate the two areas


Finally cut the bench lid in two


This mod  also stiffens up the front of the dinette bench seat which had a lot of give

Next mod is 12 volt power point and USB ports
