Carbon Monoxide Detector
A carbon monoxide (CO) detector is installed in the cabin. If
excess carbon monoxide fumes are detected, an audible beeping
will sound indicating the presence of the toxic gas.
A by product of combustion, carbon monoxide is invisible,
tasteless, odorless, and is produced by all engines, heating and
cooking appliances. The most common sources of CO on boats
are the engines and auxiliary generators and propane or butane
stoves. These produce large amounts of CO and should never
be operated while sleeping.
Please read the owner’s manual supplied by the detector manu-
facturer for operation instructions and additional information
regarding the hazards of carbon monoxide gas. Also read more
about carbon monoxide, carbon monoxide detectors, and proper
ventilation in the Ventilation Systems and Safety Equipment
chapters in this manual. This is especially essential if your boat
is equipped with the optional generator. If you did not receive
a manual for your carbon monoxide detector, please contact
the Albemarle Customer Service Department.

10.7 Cabin Woodwork
Cabin Floors and Steps
The galley floor is made of teak and holly. The steps are made
of solid teak. There is a hatch in the galley floor near the com-
panion way steps that provides access to the forward bilge and
the equipment installed there.
The floor and steps are finished with a high quality urethane
finish that will provide years of protection with proper care
and treatment. It is important to avoid tracking sand and dirt
on the cabin floor and steps. Sand and dirt acts like sand paper
and will eventually sand off the finish in the traffic areas. The
wood can be sanded and refinished as necessary.
Use caution when varnishing wood steps. The wood grain is a
natural nonskid and too much varnish or polyurethane will fill
the grain and make the wood slippery. You should use a satin
or flat varnish and only apply one or two coats.
The wood floors and steps can be vacuumed and cleaned with
a mixture of water and Murphy’s Oil Soap. Wipe the wood
dry with a clean towel.
Walls, Cabinets and Trim
The hardwood used for the cabin walls and cabinets is finished
with a high quality varnish. It can be routinely cleaned with
a damp cloth. For heavy duty cleaning, use a mixture of water
and Murphy’s Oil Soap to clean the wood and wipe it dry with
a clean towel. Apply a furniture polish to add luster and help
to preserve the finish.
