I am not sure what a "vape" fume detector is, maybe some kind of anti smoking thing?

But seriously, there are several kinds of detectors on boats: CO, propane and gasoline fumes. I suspect you are talking about the latter. The location could be anywhere in the engine room down low. You will just have to start at the alarm panel and work your way backwards until you find it.

I don't have any experience with gasoline fume detectors but if they are like propane detectors, they fail quite often and have to be replaced.


But I am a little puzzled. Marine Traders generally come with diesels, and diesels don't need gasoline fume detectors. So could it be a propane detector? If so the detector is in the galley area near the floor.
