Gas and Fire Detector
The gas and fire detector is located close to the floor under the chart table. There is a tiny on/off switch in front. Safe practice is to switch on when arriving at boat and off at the end of use of the boat. If you do not plan to sleep in the boat it is not necessary to use the detector.
