CHAPTER 1
The “station wagon effect” or backdrafting
can cause CO gas to accumulate inside the
cabin, cockpit or bridge areas when the boat
is under-way, using protective weather
coverings, high bow angle, improper or heavy
loading, slow speeds, or when boat is at rest.
Blockage of exhaust outlets can cause carbon
monoxide to accumulate in the cabin and
cockpit area even when the hatches, windows,
portholes and doors are open.
Exhaust from another vessel alongside your
boat, while docked or anchored, can emit
poisonous CO gas inside the cabin and
cockpit areas of your boat.
