I wonder what happened to a well known local resident here in Annapolis. She died of CO in the shower on a 'PROPER YACHT' equiped with an "on demand unit" . It was not disclosed if it was an old unit. I personally know of one installed in the galley that the pilot light was extinguished in a moderate wind. Much like modern home appliance'sI the new technolgy is great but CO detectors should be on the boat.
Geeze I look forward to fuel cells. We cruisers live on the largest supply of energy on the planet. I hope we live to see the application.
