O - 5 USE OF WEATHER COVERS
AND CARBON MONOXIDE
When an engine is running, a natural vacuum may
exist with the right wind and sea conditions to allow
exhaust gases (which includes carbon monoxide)
to seep into the boat. When canvas is utilized, this
compounds the possibility of this occurring and inhibits
natural ventilation. For more information, refer to
Section B-2 - Carbon Monoxide in this manual.
The carbon monoxide in exhaust fumes can
be hazardous. It is important for you and your pas-
sengers to be aware of the potential safety hazard
created by exhaust fumes. Familiarize yourself with
the symptoms of individuals overcome by carbon
monoxide, and most importantly, ways you can
protect yourself and your guests. See Figure O-7 -
Carbon Monoxide Canvas Warning Label and
Figure O-8 - Carbon Monoxide Warning Label.
