Seems that some surveyor's personal preferences get mixed into
what the law or codes specify.

My surveyor said just the opposite. I had the line run in hose and he
said it was acceptable but because it ran behind the cabinets and would
be hard to replace that I should replace it with well supported copper
tube.

I don;t think copper for propane is acceptable for boats in the US. The

made me remove all of it on my boat when we bought it. The
boat came from Canada where I guess it must be OK. He also made me
replace all the copper fuel line as well.

Agree with Doug's comment. Hope you're talking about a short length of

hose

you can observe regularly. Long runs out-of-sight should be heavy gauge
copper.

It is certainly copper on our boat. There is a loop of hose to let the
range gimbal, and a short piece in the tank locker going to the tank
attachment.

The boat is 22 years old. One of the anchor points came adrift lat
year and I repaired it. No surveyor has ever had a problem with it.
