When protective weather
coverings are in place, engine or gen-
erator exhaust from your yacht, while
docked, at anchor, drifting or underway
can cause excessive accumulation of
Carbon Monoxide Gas (CO) within the
cabin and cockpit areas of your yacht.
Always provide adequate ventilation
when the weather coverings are in place
and either the engine or the generator
are running.
Engine or generator ex-
haust from your yacht while underway
at a slow speed can cause excessive
accumulation of Carbon Monoxide Gas
(CO) within the cabin and cockpit areas
of your yacht. A tail wind can increase
the accumulation. This is often referred
to as the “Stationwagon Effect”. Always
provide adequate ventilation or increase
your speed, if possible.
Engine or generator ex-
haust from your yacht while underway
and operating with a high bow angle
can cause excessive accumulation of
Carbon Monoxide Gas (CO) within the
cabin and cockpit areas of your yacht.
Always provide adequate ventilation
and redistribute the load to lower the
bow angle.
Fuel Safety
Gasoline and Diesel Fuel
are extremely fl ammable. Proper han-
dling is necessary to provide for the
safety of you and your yacht.
DO NOT smoke while fueling.
Make sure that all accessories, both
engines, and generator are turned off
before beginning to fuel your yacht.
When fueling your yacht in warm
weather, allow for expansion of the
fuel and do not top off the fuel tanks.
The tanks may overfl ow when the fuel
expands after being pumped out from
cool, underground tanks or when the
air temperature is cool, such as early
morning or evening.
Always handle fuel with care.
Never store fuel in portable containers
aboard your yacht.
