WARNING

Inhaling engine exhaust gases can result in carbon monoxide poisoning,

which can lead to unconsciousness, brain damage, or death. Avoid exposure

to carbon monoxide.

Stay clear from exhaust areas when engine is running. Keep the boat

well‑ventilated while at rest or underway.

STAY CLEAR OF EXHAUST AREAS

41127

Engine exhaust gases contain harmful carbon monoxide. Avoid areas of

concentrated engine exhaust gases. When engines are running, keep

swimmers away from the boat, and do not sit, lie, or stand on swim platforms or

boarding ladders. While underway, do not allow passengers to be positioned

immediately behind the boat (platform dragging, teak/body surfing). This

dangerous practice not only places a person in an area of high engine exhaust

concentration, but also subjects them to the possibility of injury from the boat

propeller.

GOOD VENTILATION

Ventilate the passenger area, open side curtains or forward hatches to remove

fumes.

Example of desired air flow through the boat:

21622

POOR VENTILATION

Under certain running and/or wind conditions, permanently enclosed or canvas

enclosed cabins or cockpits with insufficient ventilation may draw in carbon

monoxide. Install one or more carbon monoxide detectors in your boat.

Although the occurrence is rare, on a very calm day, swimmers and

passengers in an open area of a stationary boat that contains, or is near, a

running engine may be exposed to a hazardous level of carbon monoxide.
