Just a note of caution. Everyone seems to be concerned about the genie itself but the real danger (if any) is to people on board. If carbon monixide is getting into your cabin and people are below the capatain at the helm will never know that they were having a roblem. The noise at the helm may be grater than you can hear from the cabin with the hatch closed. If you run with the genie on, please make sure eveyone knows to get out quickly if the alarm goes off. You do have working co detectors in every cabin, right?
Rather than start a new thread on an old subject, I am starting this one up again.
I am confident I know about starting, exercising, using the blower, and using underway by reading multiple threads on the subject.
So the question is...its a real hot night out on the hook, you need to run the genny to keep cool...You keep the cabin door closed to hold in the cool air and keep CO out from either your genny or others you are rafted up with.
1. Is this safe to assume?
2. I have talked to others who run the Genny and AC for a few hours to cool down the cabin before bed, and then shut it down for the night. I have yet to spend a Hot Summers Night on my boat so I am not sure if this is practical. Admiral gonna have to stay comfortable.
3. How do you check your CO detectors? Mine are probably original and 10 years old now. Something I do not want to take a chance on if they need to be replaced.
Thanks for any input. Want to keep it safe.
Reading this thread and the other generator related. it makes one wonder about having camper canvas installed and being underway.
As far as I am aware of, there are not factory CO detectors in the cockpit/rear deck area. I do not have my full canvas up, but I am thinking about having a CO detector or two in these areas.

You can't trust one single type of technology. That is you can't put all of your eggs in the CO detector basket no matter how many you have. You need multiple layers. If you cannot achieve multiple, then either do without the A/C or dock and plug-in.
