DANGER

!

In all gasoline powered boats, engine and generator exhaust

systems produce colorless and odorless carbon monoxide gas

(“CO”). Direct prolonged exposure can result in CO poisoning

which may be harmful or fatal. To prevent excess exposure and

reduce the possibility of accumulations of CO in the cabin and

cockpit of the boat, the operator should insure adequate ventilation

in each the cabin and cockpit areas, through utilization of cabin

hatches, cabin doors, cabin windows, cockpit windshield windows

and side windshield vents to increase air movement through the

cabin and cockpit areas. The following conditions tend to increase

the accumulation of CO in and about the boat and require the

operator’s particular attention:

1. Operation at slow speeds or dead in the water.

2. Operation with a high bow angle attitude.

3. The utilization of canvas tops, side curtains and back

curtains.

4. Contributing climatic condtions, such as a head wind.

5. Operation of engines and/or generator inconﬁned

spaces or at dockside.

6. Any blockage of hull exhaust outlets.

Indications of excessive exposure to CO concentrations may

include nausea, dizziness and drowsiness.
