R27 OB 2019 - We seem to have a leak in the propane line/fitting near the stove/oven. We replaced the sensor last year thinking it had expired but the new one also begins to sound after only a few seconds. We can smell propane faintly also. We will begin by testing the fittings at the stove/oven and the bit of hose we can see there but can't find anything that shows how the propane line gets from the cabin to the propane locker. Since it can not be seem from the side locker where the batteries are located or under the floor board in the locker behind the cabin door, we are thinking it must be secured between the inner and outer hull shells. Does anyone have any experience with replacing the propane hose just in case the leak is not easily identified?

Thank you
 
I just found out yesterday that I have a propane leak too. I narrowed it down between stove and solenoid in propane box. By boat mfg standards, hose should be one piece from solenoid to stove. I won't be able to diagnose for at least a month. I am going to pressure test it once I can get to stove connections. First I will see if it is leaking around burners. Does anybody know the operating gas pressure?
