The stainless steel part was completely rusted and leaking |
We discovered on our last trip that there was a leak in our propane system. It was localized in the tank locker area so we continued to use it -
carefully. We just turned the tank off immediately after use and left the locker open to fully vent for a while after. Additionally our tanks are located at the back of the cockpit with a vent hole in the bottom. Tom started troubleshooting and soon discovered the culprit - a bad solenoid.

Big difference |
Off to West Marine - the
FIRST trip of the week...( are you impressed that I was able to hold off this long?) Luckily they had one. Unfortunately it was $120 bucks. Fortunately we had a West Marine gift card for $100 that we had been saving from my brother and sister in law. *
Never, ever underestimate the value of West Marine gift cards to sailors! We LOVE them!!

"What's for dinner tonight?" |
So we paid our $7.50, Tom installed it and we were able to eat that night without worry.
Woo-hoo! Epic win!
