My sister and her husband attended the recent Trawler Fest in Florida, and in an email today she mentioned that at one session Steve D'Antonio recommended putting a smoke detector in the saloon and tying it to another on the bridge, so that both would go off in case of smoke at either place.
Sounds like an excellent idea to me, and if I had had such a thing when my engine overheated while bringing the boat from Stuart to St. Marks in 2012 it would have saved me a lot of money, trouble, and possible damage to the engine (although it runs OK now -- these old Perkins are tough!).
So I am trying to figure out how to tie together smoke alarms. Tried to google it but got no hits. Anyone familiar with how to do that? Does it take a particular brand of smoke alarm?
