Ah, silence is golden.

Who provides the "marine" certification for a CO detector?

I do, but that wasn't one of his choices.

Need to be near or in sleeping quarters, although more doesn't hurt. Should be on their own batteies. Here's one I highly recommend: Ultra Low Level CO Detector - CO Experts 2014

In the Gulf Coast area around Galveston Bay, the Danforth is your go-to out of that selection. If weight is an issue get a Fortress. I've anchored for years in that area on my Krogen 42 and other boats with an FX-23 with no problems at all. Even held 6 other boats in Offatt's bayou on that...

Here's a close-up view of one of the USCG's small guns. To the poster earlier who asked what the shrouded thing was ahead of the transom...another mount for a 2nd gun.

I've seen satellite pix of both my boat and the back yard at my house. Good thing they didn't catch us naked in the yard! I certainly hope they edit those out.

Agreed. Borne out with experience as well.

Marketing fluff.

You can put a nail in the hull anywhere to hang stuff.

Trying to get to an outboard on your aft deck in a rough sea is a great way to fall off and die. Also, the outboard may be sucking air half the time as the boat pitches up and down. This idea would only work in perfect conditions in a flat sea. Either take really good care of your engine(s) or...
