16 SAFETY INFORMATION
Carbon Monoxide Accumulation
Following are examples of possible situations where CO may accumulate within
your boat while docked, anchored, or underway. Become familiar with these ex-
amples and their precautions to prevent personal injury or death.
VESSEL ALONGSIDE
WHILE UNDERWAY (BACKDRAFTING)
WARNING
Exhaust Fumes! Generator or hull exhaust from other vessels while either
docked or anchored can emit poisonous CO gas and cause excessive ac-
cumulation within cabin and cockpit areas. Be alert for generator exhaust
from your vessel or other vessels alongside. Exhaust outlets near a pier,
dock, seawall or outlets blocked by any other means can cause excessive
accumulation of poisonous CO gas within cockpit area.

WARNING
Engine exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide (CO) which can accumu-
late in and around the boat (under Bimini top, in cockpit, etc.). CO can be
harmful or fatal if inhaled. Assure there is adequate ventilation whenever
