Greg,
I have the Mr. Heater Little Buddy on my boat. It works great.
Haven't had a problem with Carbon Monoxide. I've got Carbon Monoxide
detects onboard and they've never chirped once while running the heater
all day and night. I run mine off a 20 lb tank. Running it on high
when I get home from work until the next morning (about 14hrs) I get
about 4 days run time out of the tank. The manufacturer states that it
will give 50hrs run time on high and 100 hrs on low off a 20lb tank,
and I have found those figures to be pretty accurate.
I can tell you this, that one Mr Heater Little Buddy heats my boat
much better than my three built-in electric heaters on the boat. It
also helps take the dampness out of the air, which the electic heat
didn't touch.

Bought one to compliment the red dot heat my 25 footer has on it (dealer
didn't know it). Anyway, on a 38 degree night, my wife and I got it toasty,
turned it off and crawled into the cave (aft cabin). Was just fine all
night. Given that, I see no reason to leave it on all night. It does have
the oxygen shutoff but why chance it?
