CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS
Your Regal boat features designated sleeping accomodations
along with galley sink and head compartments. Working
CO detectors must be utilized. They are standard
equipment on your Regal boat. Mooring by boats running
gasoline generators along with vessels using gas cooking/
grilling/heating devices could lead to dangerous levels of
carbon monoxide on your boat. Always be aware of other
vessels mooring close to you especially if you are staying
on board overnight. Read the owner’s manual and vendor
information regarding the CO detectors installed on your
vessel.
Follow the periodical service recommendations per the
vendor regarding recalabration of the carbon monoxide
detector.
Never attempt to repair a CO detector yourself.
Get to know the signs of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Remember that carbon monoxide (CO) is known as
the silent killer.
