Xintex monoxide detector mounting

Hey everyone,

So am addressing some safety concerns. Now that I have engine running reasonably well I want to install a monoxide detector. To my knowledge there was never one there before but PO did have an old Xintex gas fume detector.

Where do you usually mount these ? It said to not put it near stove, but i figue i want it reasonably close to the engine.

Also this model is 12 dc wiring. Do you direct mount it to the battery like a bilge pump ?

I am mostly concerned with these fumes when I am at the boat. I do not live/sleep aboard so am wondering if maybe i should just hook it to DC panel and have it "on" when I am running the engine and the few times I sleep on boat in summer.

Thoughts ?

Thanks
