New CO2 Detector

[Cymru]

Hey all,

I hope everyone is doing well and I'll take this opportunity to wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy and Prosperous New Year! I hope it’s full of many hours of fun and safe boating. :-)

Talking about safe, my Maxum 2900 is a 2001 model and I've noticed that my CO2 detector chirps now and then for no apparent reason. Sometimes engine on, sometimes before the engine or genny has been started. Since it’s such an important piece of kit, I'd like to get it changed out before the season starts again in the spring. Question is, do I need to replace it with a marine specific version or will any 12v work? I'd like to get one that's hard wired and has a 9v battery backup.

Let me know what you think or if you have a specific suggestions.

Thanks all.
