OK. So I'm hoping that my experience is going to help someone else in the long run here. I don't know why but my law of averages doesn't seem to be very average these days. When I seem to post a question concerning my problem it seems that they're always not quite what anyone else has experienced. I just wish that one of my problems could just be a common problem seen before and answered easily. This NEVER seems to be the case. Case in point..........I asked in my original question if anyone could tell me where the fuse/reset switch is on the boat. I had hoped a ton of people would chime in but unfortunately not one response...................not one. I went out and bought a new CO detector which was the right thing to do anyway simply because it was original. Everything I've read states that they're good for about 5 years anyway. In addition, I bought a new deep cycle battery thinking if it was the battery power I'd be set. Anyway, I replaced the battery and then the CO detector. The original was still flashing green when I replaced it. Hooked up the new one and turned the boat on................nothing. No power, no signal indicator. I went on a search...............talk about not seing the trees through the forest. Dead center of the main console down below (on the main switch console where you turn on everything for the boat) is a CO monitor. I have always thought this was a light indicator. NOPE. For everyone out there who this ever happens to in the future I hope you find this little long lost thread I'm writing. It turns out its a pop out indicator much like the ones that pop out when your turkey is cooked at thanksgiving. If you push it back in it resets the CO monitor. I sure wish someone had been able to tell me this one before spending $200 on a battery and a CO monitor. However, I did learn something which is important and it, in fact, should have been replaced. I guess I'm just tired of these expensive lessons. Regardless, I really hope someday this helps someone else...................

I too have had numerous lessons on my "new to me" 2002 340, so I for one was happy to read your post. My CO detector also has not worked since I purchased the boat, but haven't had a chance to get to it yet to troubleshoot, so I am very hopeful that your thread may assist me in saving a few $$ for once!
