YIPES !my standard labor rate for friends and relatives is 18 cents per hour.
Maybe chuck the super safety device and go back to a normal connection. My propane delivery hose cannot be cut without a sharp axe so I'm not worried about excessive flow from a hose failure. The range, much weaker components in there. The only way something can happen is if you come under attack while you are cooking. The solenoid is always closed otherwise.Now back to my parts search. This doesn't look promising so far.
Actually everything is connected and working properly and I am down to getting a replacement oven thermostat/control. Unfortunately, I'm being told that a replacement doesn't exist except from a junkyard, and although a rebuild of my bad control *might* be possible, the time required to have that done is 16 weeks at a cost of $250-300.Maybe chuck the super safety device and go back to a normal connection.

If you really want to go overboard, how about connecting your gas solenoid to your propane alarm after getting rid of the excess flow trip device ?
I have found that problems that have more than a single fault are a bear to diagnose and fix. But at least I am down to the last fault - I hope! -Well, you are making progress in diagnosing the problem(s)…odd to have 2 failures, but I guess it can happen.
I leave the tank valve open, but always have the LPG solenoid off unless I am using the stove/oven.
Always something…

Yes, that little detail hit me about 10 min. after I drove away from the house after replying in post #43. The oven stat was the last remaining problem.Actually everything is connected and working properly and I am down to getting a replacement oven thermostat/control.
Gee, Ralph, I never considered that solution. I do try to think outside the box, but you are thinking outside the insane asylum.Ever think of converting the oven portion of the range into a wood burning oven ?
Only problem I can see is hauling out the ashes each morning.
Oh c'mon, just outside their front door at worst.but you are thinking outside the insane asylum.
Did they sell tickets to the other guests to see the shower show ?Mid-week they had a setup that we could take a brief shower on deck!
I can well imagine. I'm afraid mine are a somewhat less memorable on cruise ships. My son works for Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines so the family piles on for free. Just an excuse for adding on another 20+ pounds.It was a cruise to remember.
It looks like your propane locker will hold a 20# tank, but you have two smaller tanks installed. Assuming that you added the second tank, why didn't you just tee the output with a hand valve with a hose to the grill?Rich,
I’ve been reading your post, and know you’ve pretty much fixed your system, but I was at my boat early this morning, so I took a few photos of my 2000 340 propane locker for you to look at. Can’t hurt.
The tank at the top right of the photo supplies my Magma Grill on deck. That‘s what the long looped around hose is for.
The tank at the bottom left of the photo supplies my galley stove. That is what the pictures of the gauge show when I open the valve on the tank. This tank has about 1/4 left in it (+/-).
I also have the original manuals that came with my boat if you need or want to look at.
The Trident Gas manual has set ups, model numbers, connection fittings etc.
The Force 10 manual is pretty much for that model but is detailed as well.
Hope this helps.
Oh, and yeah….you should be shutting the valves when you leave. Good practice to be in.
No tickets, but several strained necks from looking.Oh c'mon, just outside their front door at worst.

Wow, Diamond Plus level. I once knew a guy who's bartender's brother's wife had an affair with some guy who was a Diamond Plus member but I've never known one directly.My wife and I cruise every year on RC - Diamond Plus level.
My neighbor (a sales guy) says that we spent 55,555.56 hours on this project.. nets us each about $5,000 USYIPES !
There go my dreams of early retirement.
