I second Sam's opinion. One of the items on the boat that I don't worry about. Tom

Thanks for the replies, here is the latest one I think everyone is referring to:

It's showing at $309 but it looks like they've got a few on eBay for cheaper. Probably best to make sure to get the SKU 10003P1 which is LPG. The other ones are natural gas.

Make sure you get the one with the "Freedom Device" so you do not need to change batteries (they are at the bottom and very hard to reach in most installations. Also, the batteries have a tendency to corroce in the marine environment.
