Heck of a time with a hillerange General Forum Forums

There is a manual for the stove on the site here

however it doesn't seem to specify the size fitting your looking for. I think it is just going to be a trial and error to get it running. Unless there is a lot of corrosion on and in the stove fittings themselves I would think it will work just fine once you get gas hooked back up. Our original hiller such as you have works fine and we have never done anything to it. Well other than replace the electric solenoid on the tank every 5 or 6 years. The propane locker drain gets plugged up sometimes and then the locker fills with rain or sea water depending whether you were sailing in bad weather or just sitting at the dock. I have to remind myself to check it as a regular item anytime I'm on the boat. design of the hatch lets anything on deck flow down into the locker and out the drain. It's a bad design but to be honest I'm not sure what you could do better unless you moved it all the way aft so that the lip edge would drain off the boat instead of into the compartment. That or just mount it on a rail on deck. That would put it in the sun which with propane tanks isn't good. maybe a bench aft with it under it in a compartment.
