Guys : I've had a few of my friend that went south to the Bahamas convert from CNG to Propane and they had NO problems and it was NOT that expensive$$ for three fittings (don't remember the exact cost)!!

Just looking for everyone's experience on this.  Would that include uninvited "guests"?  You know, the, "I see you're going out alone today. Can I tag along?" type dock neighbors? :rolling :donno: :cry4` :shock: :?: :|

Last day of re-crossing Biscay, en-route to Brest. The rest of the crew had turned in, leaving me on watch, enjoying the sunset.

Cliff,

The only reason I see for the conversion is if CNG is no longer available to you. If you've read these threads on converting you can see what a PITA it is not to mention the time, trouble, and expense involved because if you're going to do it right you should replace everything and not cobble together something that's a CNG/propane construct.

Something I learned a long time ago, If it's not broke don't fix it.

I talked to the Japsco reps and they agree!! 

We put all used toilet tissue/paper in a zip lock bag and dispose of it with the garbage!!

A few thoughts

Forget the guests, I never would never get my wife on board. 😜

My propane stove was pretty worn out.  I found a good CNG stove and moved all my orifices and oven temp regulator from the LPG stove to the CNG stove so I had a nice condition propane stove.

Todd knows his stuff!!!  Call Sure Marine and ask about a conversion.

Sailing out of the Lower Machodoc Creek near Dahlgren,Va. in some pretty sporty conditions.
