The exhaust hose on the Mark I boats is 17 feet.

I've relied on Todd before and he knows his stuff!!
Seaward was bought by Whale and parts are no longer available. I believe that Sure bought out any remaining parts.
Not good news but heed Todd's advice about making it safe especially with the heavy gas.

Sure Marine is local to me in Seattle. In the numerous times I've delt with them, I've found them honest and very helpful. I'd really have to trust their advice.

I think there has been a ton of research on this and I agree with your conclusion. If you are going to convert to Propane, you need to gut the cooking system. Why gut it?
1. Fuel Source - you need to have a "Gas Bilge" for the leaking propane to escape out of the boat as Propane is heavier than air.
2. Gas Lines - this you may be able to resume, but they will not be long enough, so you'll need to replace.
3. Stove - Yup.. it will burn it, but not safe
In the Great Lakes I found a place, but if I go cruising, I'll need to get creative.

This is off topic. Excuse me.
I've read the warning about using the propane stove for heating. See so many warning stickers I pay less and less attention to them. Does anyone have a stove top gadget for warming up the salon? I've heard using flower pots and just putting a kettle on. Is there anything else that would help to take the chill off?

And since you now have that stanchion rebedding "thing" down how'bout swinging by San Diego and give mine a go, too. BTW-I also need backing plates added.

You really don't need anybody else to tell you anything. Just tighten it up snug, short of the threshold of pain (for your joints!!!:D) and be done with it. Really. The ONLY torque I think is critical are the keel bolts.
Saves a long distance phone call. Send Ken the $$ you woulda saved.
PS - added later Jim, hope I didn't sound harsh. You're right, I don't EVER recall hearing about this. Fun to be first?!?

Why not use the good old phone, call FL, ask for Warren and he'll get an answer if there is one.
