  Cheers for getting in touch Tim, think maybe I'll get a second one and stick it lower to be covered. Cheers. Yeh, we initially put it there as I read CO is slightly lighter than air, and these alarms are designed to be installed head height or just below the ceiling. That said, we nearly always have the wheelhouse door pinned open whilst at sea, for speed of getting in and out, so hopefully no fumes. How's the shark fishing ? :)
