The Fireboy CO detector that came with my 240DA recommends sending it in annually for a $25.00 re-certification.I think they cost $100.00 new

A re-certification and warranty renewal program is offered by the factory for your
assurance of a properly operating unit. It is highly recommended that the units are sent
in on an annual basis for re-certification.​

FACTORY RE-CERTIFICATION AND
WARRANTY RENEWAL PROGRAM
Because of the unique sensor and circuit design characteristics of a carbon monoxide alarm, it is
not possible to field test the CO Sentinel. The Xintex Recertification and Warranty Renewal
Program provides peace of mind by offering factory re-certification and a new one year warranty.
Return the CO Sentinel to the factory, prepaid, along with your check or money order for $25.00*
at any time to take advantage of this program. This service includes complete testing of circuitry
and sensor. Repairs, re-calibration, or sensor replacement are included. In addition, you will
receive an additional 12-month limited warranty. This offer does not include replacement or
repair of units that have been damaged through misuse, carelessness, misapplication, altered or
otherwise been destroyed as a result of fire, collision, or sinking. Should the returned CO
Sentinel require repairs from misuse as described above, you will be notified of the cost prior to
repair.
Include your return shipping or mailing address and telephone number along with the CO Sentinel
and mail to:
Re-certification Department
Fireboy-Xintex, Inc.
PO Box 152
O-379 Lake Michigan Dr. NW
Grand Rapids, MI 49534

Bill,

I am sure you will have a CO detector mounted near the forward berth. On my first trip mine kept going off (that's why I sent my stepson down to take a nap :grin. What I did discover in reading the manuals is to pop open the forward hatch while underway and with the cabin door closed it creates a positive pressure and the CO is less likely to infiltrate the cabin. I have had no alarms since doing that.

I did have CO poisoning when I was 18 years old. We went down below in her Grandparents boat while underway and stayed down there for a good hour or so. When we docked I went up to the restroom and heard someone pounding on the door. It was my Mother telling me that my GF passed out on the dock! I could not even get up off of the toilet and ended up crawling out of the restroom to get outside. Ambulance arrived and we both ended up in the hospital.

We were told stage 1 you can become dizzy and have nausea, stage 2 you pass out, stage 3 you die. It was pretty scary stuff and as the toxins left our bodies later that day the headache started. The worst headache you can ever imagine!

The bottom line is take the CO thing VERY seriously and do everything the manual states to do including not letting anyone hang out in the cabin while underway.
