Carbon monoxide is a colorless, tasteless, odorless and
poisonous gas that accumulates rapidly and can cause
serious injury or death. Exposure to carbon monox-
ide can be fatal in a matter of minutes. Exposure to
even low concentrations of carbon monoxide must not
be ignored because the effects of exposure to carbon
monoxide can build up and be just as lethal as high
concentrations. Carbon monoxide from exhaust pipes
of inboard or outboard engines may build up inside
and outside the boat in areas near exhaust vents, par-
ticularly during slow-speed operations. STAY AWAY
from these exhaust vent areas, which are located at the
stern of the boat, and DO NOT swim or engage in any
watersports or other activities in or near the stern area
of the boat, including, without limitation, the swim
platform and the rear sun deck, when the engine is in
operation. Under no circumstances should the owner
and/or operator allow persons to hold onto the swim
platform while the engine is operating and the boat is
in motion. ese activities (sometimes known as “teak
surfing” or “platform dragging,” where the participant
holds onto the swim platform and is pulled through
the water, and/or “body surfs” immediately behind the
boat) are extremely dangerous, highly likely to result
in death or serious bodily injury, and are a misuse of
this product.
