Safety On Board
In high concentrations, CO can be fatal in minutes. However, lower
concentrations over an extended period of time can be just as lethal.
Symptoms of excessive exposure to carbon monoxide are:
• Dizziness • Watering, itchy eyes
• Drowsiness • Flushed appearance
• Nausea • Inattentiveness
• Headache • Incoherence
• Ringing in the ears • Fatigue or vomiting
• Throbbing temples • Convulsions
Carbon monoxide accumulation requires immediate attention!
Thoroughly ventilate cabin and cockpit areas. Determine the probable
source of the carbon monoxide and correct the condition immediately.
Regal has installed CO detectors on your boat. Have these detectors
professionally calibrated at regular intervals.
To help prevent carbon monoxide
accumulation, ventilate your cabin
and cockpit while underway. Open a
forward hatch, porthole or window to
allow air to travel through the boat’s
interior. See the illustration below for
desired air fl ow.
