We have a steca solar charge controller but it got disconnected when the engine was serviced recently and needs to be reset. I think this must be our problem and would explain why the batteries got overcharged. i have no idea how to reset it so i'm now on the search for an electrician!

Thank you! Will do. And cheers again everyone, this site is a real lifesaver =)

Hi, I'm in need of an electrician too! Would you be able to send me his details too? my email is small fried bean (all one word) at hotmail .com. I would be very grateful! fingers crossed ....

Ok, Thanks everyone for your help. Will get our solar regulator looked at. In the meantime, is it safe to stay on the boat until this is fixed?

Catweasel, we have a gas cooker onboard but none of the other things you listed. The boat behind us does have a generator that they use quite a lot. Our CO alarms are brand new. Our boat batteries are charged by 4 solar panels...it has been a very sunny day today and the batteries were on 16 (they are usually on 12 or 13). How do I check the batteries? I have no idea how old they are......we just bought the boat a few weeks ago.

Hi all, wasn't sure where to post this as I'm a newbie! Came home to the boat after work today and the co alarm in the bedroom/engine room was going off!! I opened up all the windows and doors and it stopped. Any ideas where co might be coming from? I have not been using the stove. Please HELP! I don't want to die!
