A bulk tank is much more economical, no disposal issues and no storage
issues other than those associated with any hazardous material on a boat.
One liter bottles cost about 4 to 5 times as much as bulk.

I understand, but my usage is very low at the moment and I will have
to get a different regulator for the Force 10 to Y-connect into the
larger propane tank (also on the rail at gunwale level as I can't
easily install a propane locker there).

I have the rest of the bits and pieces, including a propane and
gasoline bilge sniffer and a solenoid valve with remote shut-off.

Now I have to put it together. I finally got the tarp and frame up
yesterday, so now I have to decide whether this winter's project (in
addition to replacing a troublesome exhaust system) is the propane
refit or a portlight replacement.

Man, I'm learning a lot about boat repair.
