Brian,

Before you do anything else, you need some one experienced with propane and
propane systems (a dealer perhaps or someone who knows what they are doing)
and walk you thru all of this... If you don't know what you're doing
relative to propane,  don't muddle thru, learn about it so you don't blow up
the boat..

All:

Now that Waltzing Bear, too is fully rigged and the race season has 
started, I have been spending dock time attempting to get her ready for 
overnighting.

The stove will not light as no is gas flowing to the burners. I 
opened/closed the tank to charge the system to check for leaks. There is 
a switch on the electrical panel which I powered and heard a clicking 
sound somewhere aft of the chart table. I opened the tank, turned on a 
burner and saw spark when I fired it, but no flame. I also used a BBQ 
lighter. I took the tank for filling (the gauge now shows 150) and 
repeated the process with the same result. Following repeated tries I 
did find that a small cube in the tank locker  which is both physically 
connected into the hose system and apparently also wired into the 
electrical system, was uncomfortably hot ot the touch.

I have since closed down all and referred the problem here. Please sort 
me out.

797 Waltzing Bear, too
