Hi Jim. Is yours an 20ms or River Pilot or Family Pilot / Bosun? If a Family Pilot, does it have the large galley in the cockpit, or the small galley with the co-pilot seat atop? The 2 ring burner unit used on later boats was a "Smev 909" unit (with flame faluire devices fitted). This usually around £100. My Navigator is fitted with a Plastimo Neptune 2 Burner Hob and Grill, this type of unit was used on most of the Hardy's from 18's to the Mariner 26, and used for many many years. They should still be availaible, or at least a close replacement - Plastic still seem to be the most popular. Fridge wise, I see all sorts, it depends on the size and space requirements. Isotherm and Waeco seem to be the most common I see these days - most available as 12v or 12v & 240v units. Some still use Gas fridges - by Electrolux. I'm not a great fan of gas fridges but they seem to work well if eletricity is in very short supply. Hope this helps. best Regards Simon
