I learned of the hazards of carbon monoxide poisoning in my safe boating course years ago, but I never really believed I'd need a CO detector with the stiff breezes that usually accompanied my earlier boating excursions. When I got a larger boat I put one in the cabin thinking it would be safe on deck for the same reasons, but it kept going off. It was annoying so I disarmed it. This past summer my brother-in-law rafted with us and ran his generator for hours to power his A/C and fridge. The exhaust was not welcome nor the accompanying CO which was making my wife and me sick, dull and listless. I went back to the CO detector and installed one in the cabin and one at the helm. This time it was a marine detector. Here are the reasons I think they're extremely important in any kind of boat where you're burning fuel of any kind and why a marine detector is the best way to go.
