[Sentoa] Carbon Monoxide Detector

[Seasalt007 at aol.com]

I trust you bought a marine CO detector. The household ones have a  different 
threshold of dangerous levels and will drive you nuts by being overly  
sensitive. I found this out after I purchased one at Wal-Mart.
 
I ended up with a marine grade from West Marine (about $100.00) that  hard 
wired into the 12 volt system, I found an empty connection with a fuse  under 
the helm . The marine models have instructions about where to mount it on  a 
boat. I put mine about eyeball level at the foot of the stairs into the master  
bedroom, I bought a second one at West that uses a 9v battery and put it about  
chest level at the head of the lower bunk.

I purchased a detector to put in  the forward cabin since we do plan on using 
our generator at night to run the  A/C. The boat is new to us so there may 
already be one on board that was  factory installed.  
The question for the group is: do  you mount this high or low in the cabin to 
get the quickest read and  alarm?
