standing of the Carbon Monoxide (CO) Detec-
tor System Section of this Owner’s Manual. It
contains valuable information and warnings for
you and your passengers safety.
The following illustrations show how Carbon
Monoxide Gas (CO) can accumulate in your
yacht while either at your dock or underway.
Become familiar with these examples and their
precautions to prevent exposure to this poison-
ous gas.
Blocked hull exhaust outlets
near a pier, dock, seawall, bulkhead or any other
structure can cause excessive accumulation of
Carbon Monoxide Gas (CO) within the cabin
areas of your yacht. Be certain hull exhaust
outlets are not blocked in any way.
Engine and generator exhaust
from other vessels alongside your yacht, while
docked or anchored, can cause excessive accu-
mulation of Carbon Monoxide Gas (CO) within
the cabin and cockpit areas of your yacht. Be
alert for exhaust from other vessels.
Protective weather coverings
are in place, engine or generator 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 genera-
tor are running.
Engine or generator exhaust
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.
