Re: Replacement of cooktop/oven

good advise to check the vent tube. If dirt/leaves clog the thing and it freezes over the winter, it can burst. I’ve had this happen at least two times.

Rich: Thanks for the input on the vent tubes. I will add their cleanliness to my chore sheet. I must say, if we ever have a frost in here, maybe I’ll be the one to burst.

Clairebuoyant was a Florida boat when we got her. The tube which if memory serves is 3/8″ copper tubing, was corroded through, so it’s not just freezing that will do it. You will need to remove the plywood shelf in the port quarter to get to the vulnerable spot.
