Our 35-2 came with an older sensor system, and has three remote probes: one under the stove; one under the nav desk at sole level, and one in the engine compartment near the bilge. The latter might be a carry over from the original Atomic 4 engine, but I suppose it could also catch a problem if one of the locker drains ruptured, allowing gas to drain into the bilge, as it would flow under the engine. I have the system out right now, as the audible buzzer does not activate, only the warning light. It is very easy to test with a butane lighter at each probe, just release some gas without igniting, and the alarm activates within a second.
