Im thinking of swapping out my electric stove top 4 burner princess and replacing it with LP, Has anyone else done the switch ?
got any pics tips tricks brands do's or don'ts ?
Yup- it was one of the first mods we did to the boat. It's really easy to do..
Sweet ! Thanks guys.
I like to think im handy so Ill be attempting the install myself.
Does the LP bottle need to be fully exposed or only need to vent outside? Im thinking of stowing it inside and enclosing it in a water tight box with a vent line to outside ?
Ill do some googlefoo and see if I can find the ABCY rules and regs
Agreed psneeld,
Im having trouble locating ABYC ruled regs codes.... Do you have a link?

I don't believe you'll find a propane refrigerator that's approved for use on a boat.When you get the cylinders properly installed , perhaps tossing the electric reefer would be next item to upgrade.
Our Propane RV unit is large! and uses a 20lb bottle each momth.
Lots better than genny time and hundreds of pounds of batteries.

You make some excellent points Caltexflanc.
My stove is gone and replaced with a microwave and my electric cook top is on its last legs... My 7kw Westerbek ? has a blown head gasket so Ive been toying with the idea of a full solar conversion for the little power I use. I mostly cook on the grill and I live alone. Being in Southern CA allows me to not really need hot water, heat or AC
SOOO If I did a LP cook top that would just be more KW I wont need.

I have an RV propane fridge with 4 20# tanks under the flybridge in my 1983 trawler. Fridge has been installed for 20 years. Boat has been bought and sold 3 times since then and passed survey and insurance. Maybe it's just luck.
