your surveyor was wrong. Copper is fine. What is not fine is unsupported runs
of copper.

Be careful about running copper. It is subject to fatigue due to
vibration. Our surveyor made us remove all of it and replace
it with approved rubber hose.

It was the converted Kenyon with 10,000-BTU burners that caught my
eye. But your last leaves me puzzled. I don't know what the galley
stove does if you do your cooking outsied.

It does nothing at the moment because I still have to run the copper,
do the flanges and figure out where I want to put the hole to the
outside. The rest is done, and as the sensor system is active (it sure
notices spilled gasoline...) and all the parts are on board, it's just
a matter of getting it done.

So I suppose were I a person who liked to push his luck, I could run
the camp stove in the galley, because the sensor would whine if I
leaked propane into the bilge...but I prefer the fresh air of the
cockpit anyway. If I drop something, I can rinse it down the drains

Lot of illness and work took time out of my life's vocation of boat
repair and resurrection this year...alas. That's why it's so planned
out and yet so not done.
