EXHAUST & CARBON MONOXIDE
Carbon monoxide (CO) in exhaust can be hazardous. It is important
for you and your passengers to be aware of the potential safety hazard
created by outboard engine exhaust gases. Familiarize yourself with the
symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning.
For safety sake avoid the following:
1. Do not allow the boat to remain stationary with the outboard engine
idling for an extended period of time.
2. Do not disable the carbon monoxide alarms that come with your
Regal boat. Test the unit in accordance with the alarm manufacturers
instructions.
3. Do not operate the engine for extended periods of time while in a
confi ned area or where exhaust outlets face a wall or bulkhead.
4. Do not operate the engine for an extended period of time with the
canvas in the upright and installed position.
5. Have the outboard engine exhaust system periodically inspected
when the boat is in for service.
6. Persons sleeping can easily be overcome by carbon monoxide without
realizing it. Do not sleep on board while the engine is running or a
neighboring boats engine is running.
