Read that a while ago. Very sad.
Wow, that is sad. They had to have been overcome by CO2 levels in the cockpit and passed out while underway. I don't know how else you could explain how they were found.
CO, not CO2. Deadly. Prayers for the family and friends.
Just want to say & nothing to do with fishing, so I'm already a little ticked at myself....but, covid has been a test, a lot for some and less for others, imo....just saying....
This tragedy is crazy....and we never get a "follow up" !....which imo again, might help a lot of people in the future !....the cause's of every accident can make people more aware if you ask me....I am SURE DD meant no harm in the post....
Now, how about these weather forecaster's !? lol....

I just wonder how something like that got all 3 while under power? Maybe they just all thought they were feeling sea sick?
What gets me is that they say the alarm was sounding. I assume carbon monoxide. Could they of been overcome before that alarm went off. So sad for sure
I guess? It's not instantaneous though and that much CO to knock them out that quick would be a darn high concentration.
Terrible. May they rest in peace

Same question I have. Makes no sense.
Depends on placement too I guess.
Far as instant, well our lab was laying on the floor next to the sensor in the travel trailer. Dog gassed and soon as he did that alarm was sounding.

I'll add this tip and go away from a thread that makes me sad...
Every time change (I hate those things), I have a reminder on my computers to change the batteries and test all of my safety equipment at home and on the boat. CO2, smoke, bilge pump, etc, etc. They're always good of course but my step dad was the fire chief at home and I remember how sad he would be when someone died unnecessary and he had to clean up the mess. It's one of the few positive things I learned from him but it stuck...
Think about it guys....it doesn't take long at all.

What do you mean by your dog gassed? A fart is Methane, a CO alarm shouldnt go off for CH4.
Yup dog farted and alarm sounded. The unit was mounted floor level. Perhaps it was not a CO monitor????
Flammable vapor? You probably remember you can set off the Eagle monitors with a fart... methane
They are referring to the gas analyzers that the Coasties were wearing.

Makes way more sense.
Ah. Certainly makes more sense now Thanks for the clarification
Hydrocarbon detector, hydrocarbons are heavier that air, hence why they mount the sensor near floor level and the dogs gas setting it off.
