Bill, Interesting. The latest issue of Practical Sailor discusses the risks of in-demand propane heaters.
In what ways have you minimized the threats of propane leaks and carbon monoxide buildup? All the best, Edd ------------------------------- Edd M.

Unless the tank has rusted through, most of the parts are replaceable. Heating element, thermostat, anode, and T&P valve (pressure relief). I just finished rebuilding mine and feel quite confident that it will last considerably longer for only about $100 in repair parts. That's pretty good considering they are upwards of $1200 new.
