Carbon Monoxide Detector

If you have an inboard engine you may not know until its too late if you have an exhaust leak. Considering carbon monoxide is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, it can kill without any warning. Even the accumulation of CO due to exhaust wafting into the cabin while motoring downwind can be extremely dangerous. The aqua lift muffler and exhaust riser are also common sources of deadly carbon monoxide aboard your otherwise inviting yacht.

A carbon monoxide detector can mean the difference between life and death. Because of the very real danger of carbon monoxide poisoning from a undetected exhaust leak, we highly recommend the installation of a carbon monoxide detector. Whether you buy it from us or buy it elsewhere, buy one and get it it installed!

This model is intended for installation in a single location on a smaller boat without a diesel generator aboard. It operates on the boat's 12 volt power supply with a very little current draw of 16 mA average.

If you have a boat with a generator or separate enclosed cabins that need protection, there is a more sophisticated model you should consider. Call our tech support at 916-843-1971 for more information.

Warning: A carbon monoxide detector is only a second line of defense against carbon monoxide poisoning. It is not a substitute for proper maintenance and regular inspections of all potential sources of carbon monoxide aboard your boat including the engine, stove, and oven.
