Gas detector
A gas detector is an essential tool for any marine surveyor, but it’s also useful for boat owners to keep on board, especially liveaboards.
Gas standards on boats were very different 40 years ago and sadly the Project Boat Maximus, a Maxi 84 built some time between 1977 and 1983, is going to need a whole new installation if we decide to keep gas on board (see PBO October).
Gas will gather in the lowest parts of the boats – the bilges and engine compartments – so it’s important to inspect these
