Co2 alarms

[single]

Some Co2 alarms say suitable for motorhome/caravans but NOT boats! Why is this as my boat is drier inside than some caravans i have been in!

Perhaps the CO₂ sloshes around too much in a boat.

Got any links?

...er, don't you mean CO alarms?
(Unless, of course, your boat's a submarine.)

If that is a real problem, why are monitors not fitted to all cars by international law? Heaven preserve us from the safety zealots.....

I've got a feeling that truck drivers on Oz have them, there was a circuit for one published in a magazine over there.

I wonder if they were getting their CO2 mixed up with their CO.
