Had an issue pop up on us on the lake Saturday. We run a generator on the swim deck at night. So I purchased two extra CO detectors to put in the cabin for redundancy/safety. I'm an electrician, machine repairer, industrial maintenance supervisor. I've learned it you can afford it, redundancy is always best. But, back to the issue. We were on a small reservoir in west/central Indiana when I saw the clouds start to darken to our west. I got on the radar and saw a storm building that hadn't showed on radar before. We got our camper top up quick and headed to the docks to drop off passengers. We dropped them off and went for the center of the lake to ride out the storm. I was running about 2000 rpm across the lake and once away from land and other boats, set steering for about a 100 ft circle at 700 rpm. Then, all three cabin CO detectors started alerting. We cracked the bow hatch and opened the windows about half on the camper top until the rain stopped and then opened everything back up before they finally cleared. Any idea why or how we got CO in our cabin while underway?
