On your boat, carbon monoxide in engine exhaust can accumulate within
enclosed areas during operation at slow speeds or when stopped in the
water. Using the rear enclosure while the boat is underway increases the
risk of CO accumulation in your boat, and the presence of a tail wind can
increase accumulation. Provide adequate ventilation at all times, and
increase speed as needed.
Carbon monoxide can be harmful or fatal if
inhaled. Keep exhaust outlets clear of blockage,
away from open windows. Provide adequate
ventilation at all times.
Safe Boating Practices
Boating safety is a serious issue. You are responsible for your own
safety, the safety of your passengers, and the safety of fellow waterway
users. The following are some basic safe boating recommendations that
must be observed:
Never operate the boat, or allow others to operate the boat, while
under the influence of drugs or alcohol. This is a federal offense and
can carry a significant penalty.
Keep your boat and its equipment in a safe and usable condition.
Regularly inspect the boat, engine, and safety equipment for any
signs of damage or disrepair.
Ensure that a throwable flotation device and a fire extinguisher are
on your boat at all times. This equipment must meet regulation
standards, be easily accessed, and be maintained in working
condition.
Check weather and water conditions before launching. Be prepared
for sudden changes in the boating environment, and for cooler or
warmer conditions than originally anticipated.
In case of an emergency involving the primary operator, confirm that
at least one other person on board the boat knows the basic and safe
operations of the boat.
Never allow an inexperienced person to operate your boat.
Become familiar with local, state, and provincial boating laws and
regulations. Observe them at all times.
