Lighting the stove is much nicer than on the Seward. The sparker is automatic so no more holding in the knob with one hand while trying to operate the sparker with the other. There doesn't seem to be the need to hold the burner knob in for very long afterward either. Lighting the oven is also automatic.
On your other issue; Seward recommends lighting the forward right burner for a couple of minutes before you light the oven so that line feeding the oven is fully charged with propane. I don't know if you do that now but if not give it a try and it might solve some of your issues.
By the way - if anyone in the SF Bay area knows someone (Catalina owner or not) who needs a "virtually new" oven our Seward is officially for sale. We have not even run one propane tank through it yet. West Marine wants $1,100.00 and Sailnet wants $980.00. We will sell it for $500.00.
