I have purchased a 2013 21EC. It does not have a CO detector, nor can I find a spot where one might have been. Can someone tell me where the detector is located on your boat?
 
We did not install a CO detector on the R-21 because it has a diesel motor. There are different requirements for diesel vs. gas powered boats. Most CO monitors have a 5 year lifespan so you would be due for a new one at this time anyways had you had one. If you would like to order one from our parts department, parts@rangertgus.com, we'd be happy to sent one out.

Thanks,

It may depend on the state, but when we sold our sailboat recently we where required to have a CO detector in the boat. That was diesel and 34' of boat. Some boats have the motors under or just aft of the main cabin and it could be possible to fill bilges up with CO. Add in bulkhead heaters and you have more risk. Propane is less of a risk for CO as a propane flame must have some real serious oxygen starvation issues to have CO in dangerous levels.
Our 21EC (2010) has no CO and since we did not buy through a broker or with survey we did not get one included.
CO detection is most needed if you are going to sleep on the boat with a running heater, cooker or engine.
