No different regulator in my experience. I run a standard off the shelf
hose from a bulk tank to the regulator on the BBW. The hose threads right
into the fitting that normally accepts the 1 lb bottles. It is intended to
allow
a bulk bottle to be used in place of the small bottles.

Couple of more comments below.

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).
Don't necessarily need a locker. Many folks keep a 10 lb bottle up on the
deck strapped to a stantion. On my previous boat I kept the bottle in the
anchor locker since it was isolated from the boat and had a drain that would
allow any leaked gas to drain.

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

That's good.

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.

I'd do the portlight replacement first.

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

Welcome to the brotherhood of boatwork
