CO detectors sounding alarm

Source of the post Thanks....
When I took my 1997 Charles (50A) to "Inverter" for testing, they explained exactly what you said above. The charger tested ok but I decided to replace it with a Promarine because I liked some of the features on the charger. Specifically that after a given period of time and completely charged batteries, it shuts off.

Thanks for the tip. I know that my CO detector is older than 5 years so it's time for a replacement. I use a battery operated version and I know that it still worked last season but time for a new one.

Does my 1983 Riviera have a hard wired CO2 detector??

First, you're probably taking about a CO detector, not a CO2 detector.

Second, probably not, unless a PO installed one. CO detectors were not the norm when those boats were produced. I don't know any that vintage that had them installed by the factory.

Most of those boats didn't even have fume sensors for the bilge installed at the factory. Those had to be added by the owners too.
