My boat did not come with a CO detector so I had one installed this summer. I purchased mine from West Marine for $79 (if I remember correctly). You need a marine unit because home units are not...

Reading the posts, I wonder if the boat might be too far forward on the trailer. Iceman might want to check the tongue weight of the boat and trailer before adjusting the length of the bunks.
