6.. Be.aware.that.cockpit.and.deck.drains.can.be.a.
source.of.CO.ingress.into.boats,.especially.boats.
with.cockpit.or.decks.enclosed.with.canvas.or.
permanent.boat.structures..
L. Accumulation of Exhaust Gases-
Swim Platform
When.the.propulsion.engine(s).or.generator.is.run-
ning,.CO.is.produced.and.may.remain.in.the.vicinity.
of.the.exhaust.outlet.(including.underwater.exhaust.
outlets).
1.. Do.not.occupy.aft.lounging.area(s).or.swim..
platform.
2.. Do.not.swim.under.or.around.swim.platform.
3.. Do.not.swim.in.the.vicinity.of.the.exhaust.outlet.
Refer.to.Figure.B-13.

M. Dangerous Activity -
"Teak Surfing"/"Dragging"
Do.not.sit.on,.occupy.or.hang.on.any.stern.append-
ages.(e.g.,.swim.platforms,.boarding.ladders,.etc.).
while.underway..Do.not.body.surf,.commonly.known.
as "teak surfing" or "dragging", etc., in the wake of
the.boat..Do.not.tow.persons.in.close.proximity.to.the.
stern.of.the.boat..See.Figure.B14..This.activity.can.
also.increase.the.possibility.of.injury.due.to.contact.
with.a.rotating.propeller.

Dangerous Activity
N. Cabin Appliances
Boats.having.fuel.burning.appliances.in.accommo-
dation.areas.should.be.provided.with.adequate.venti-
lation.and.the.appliance.should.be.maintained..
to.function.properly.
O. Air Conditioning (Applicable Models Only)
Lack.of.system.maintenance.may.cause.CO.to.be.
brought.into.the.air-conditioned.spaces.by.the.air.con-
ditioner..If.applicable,.please.refer.to.the.air.condition-
er.manufacturer's.literature.for.additional.information..
Please.consult.with.your.Four.Winns.Dealer.regarding.
availability.
P. Ventilation of Accommodation (Occupied)
Spaces
Accommodation.spaces.need.to.be.ventilated.to.in-
troduce.fresh.air.into.the.spaces..Ventilation.methods.
(e.g.,.windows,.hatches,.doors,.and.blowers).used.to.
accomplish.this.may,.under.certain.conditions,.bring.
hazardous.levels.of.CO.into.the.occupied.spaces..
Care.should.be.taken.to.be.aware.of.all.prevailing.
conditions.when.using.these.ventilating.methods.
Q. Running of Engines in Idle
Engines.running.in.idle.exhaust.carbon.monoxide.that.
can.accumulate.near.the.hull.of.the.boat..Do.not.stand.
or.swim.near.the.engine.exhaust.or.outdrive.when.
engines.are.idling.or.generator.is.running.
R. Altitude and Sea Conditions
Operation.at.altitudes.greater.than.5,000.feet.con-
tributes to inefficient engine performance and may
require.adjustments.to.the.ignition.systems,.fuel.sys-
tems,.or.changing.the.propeller's.size.or.gear.ratio.
1.. Failure.to.make.adjustments.to.ignition.systems.
and/or.fuel.systems.for.altitude.conditions.may.
cause.an.increase.in.CO.production..
