 CarbonMonoxide(CO)isadeadly,colorlessandodorlessgasproducedby
allenginesandfuel-burningappliances.Evenwiththebestboatdesignand
construction,plustheutmostcareininspection,operationandmaintenance,
hazardouslevelsofcarbonmonoxidemaybepresentinorneartheboatunder
certainconditions.Theboatowner,operator,aswellasallboatoccupants,must
understandthedangersofcarbonmonoxideandmustcomplywithallsafety
recommendations/requirements.Forboatswithcabins,alwaysventilatetheboat

Carbon monoxide (CO) can cause brain damage or death.
Engine and generator exhaust contains odorless and
colorless carbon monoxide gas. Carbon monoxide will be around the
back of the boat when engines or generators are running. Move to fresh air, if you feel nausea, headache,
dizziness, or drowsiness.

thecoverand/orventilatetheareabeforegoingundertheboatcover.
• Donot“platform/teak”surforplatformdrag.Carbonmonoxidewillexistinhigh
