Any difference, do I really need a version for the cabins of my 34' sailboat? | | | | | 15-04-2024, 10:02 | | Boat: Prout Snowgoose 37

Hydrogen filters are expensive and I wouldn't expect to see them unless in a setting with CO detectors. | | | | | 15-04-2024, 12:31 | | | | | 15-04-2024, 12:46 | | Boat: Chris Craft 381 Catalina

Get out from behind the other boat and the alarm stops. With the newer time weighted alarms I haven't seen that happen (as you're generally only behind the other boat for a minute or 2).
Placement of alarms is critical, just 1 isn't enough on most boats. As you mentioned, you can't count on the location of a alarm always being in the area of highest concentration. Alarms with displays are useful as well as they'll give more info than just beeping or not. | | 15-04-2024, 18:00 | | Boat: Hanse 348
