I have had some CO issues while operating the generator while on hook. I have inspected the exhaust hoses for the generator and they are good to go, but my Kidde digital CO detector still picks up moderately high levels in the engine room which eventually sets it off in the cabin. I did contact Kidde and they informed me that their detectors aren't rated for marine service and they can also detect hydrogen sulfide produced from the lead/acid batteries which can also trigger the alarm. So I have ordered a new Xintex CO detector as a replacement and I also plan to replace all 3 batteries with AGM type to eliminate the Hydrogen Sulfide potential.

I have also had several people say that they normally run their blowers while the generator is on, but that doesn't seem necessary to me if there is no exhaust leaks in the engine room. However, I'd like to get some feedback from anyone on here that has experience with this. Thanks in advance!
