Broadwater Marine Stove

[Susan A. Kline, M.D.]

Does anyone know where to procure thermal-couplers for Broadwater Marine Stoves?

Welcome - would be a smart move to fill in the location details (State level not street) - especially useful if you are not an American.

In answer to the question - Nope, but read on anyway.

The usual spelling is "thermocouple" - this is the device which senses that the gas being supplied is burning - and sends a small current to a solenoid operated valve which allowes gas to continue being supplied.

These are a standard(ish) part and used on a large range of domestic and outdoor devices - most plumbers and gas service engineers are pretty good at recognising which ones are which - so if you can wrestle it out of the cooker and take it along to see a plumber you will likely get the part you need.

A quick google turns up an old thread on Cruisers Forum with the same question, and in response, the contact info for the mfgr.

The company address is in OZ, evidently, the stoves were made in EnZed.

Dear P.I. Stazzer-Newt,

Thank you for your advice. I am an American living in Southport, CT. I have given the man in charge of the parts department at a very large, excellent boat yard which purchased and installed my Broadwater Marine Stove eleven years ago a malfunctioning thermocouple from my Broadwater stove along with the User's Manual and he believes that he will be able to locate the correct thermocouples for my stove. If I do find ones that work in my stove, I will be glad to post the information on this thread. There are many people looking for a solution to this problem, but who don't seem to get an answer.

Best wishes,

Susan Kline

Dear Steve,

I am aware of the old threads and could not find any evidence that anyone received a satisfactory response from the current owners of the company that ownes the Broadwater Martine Stove manufacturing establishment. I do have the manager of the stock room of the large boatyard that sold me the stove and installed it 11 years ago. I was able to give him the defective oven thermocouple which was replaced when the stove was purchased. Also, I have given him the User's Manual and he is optimestic that he will be able to secure thermocuoples that will work. He may succeed. Also, I have friends in Australia who are boat owners and they may get a better response from the Broadwater Marine Stove manufacturing company than a Yank from half-way around the world.

Thank you for your response and advice,

Susan Kline
