Wouldn't dream of using one on a boat as it would give no audible
warning. By the time you've noticed it showing a leak the bilges could
be filled with gas or you could be accelerating skywards

I'm not considering it as the *only* safety device. It will however
spot very small leaks that might not cause any serious problem for a
very long time but which might become worse in time.

A Gaslow gauge will detect leaks on boats. Ensure all taps are closed then
turn off the cylinder valve. The gauge will show green. Check that the
gauge stays green for at least 24 hours.

Much more important on a boat is to turn off the gas at the cylinder when
sailing and whenever the gas is not in use. There's no hazardif the gas
cylinder is turned off and it is installed in a free draining gas locker.
