Carbon monoxide (CO) can be harmful or fatal
if inhaled. Brain damage or death can result
from prolonged exposure to carbon monoxide.
Keep exhaust outlets clear of blockage. Provide
adequate ventilation. Open hatches, doors, win-
dows and vents to insure adequate ventilation.
Close engine compartment doors and hatches
when engine or generator is running. Avoid op-
erating the boat for extended periods of time at
idle speed, and be sensitive to weather condi-
Tow line
tions that may prevent CO from dissipating into

the air. Do not stand or swim near engine or

Carbon monoxide accumulation is affected by many
variables (e.g., boat geometry, hatch, window and
door open ing, ventilation openings, proximity to other
structures, swim platforms, canvas enclosures, loca-
tion of exhaust outlets, vessel attitude, wind direction,
vessel speed, boat systems maintenance, etc.) The

technical infor mation included in this section is to
inform the boat owner of possible cause and effects
of carbon monoxide exposure. This information has

The boat owner should be aware that other

factors may contribute to carbon monoxide ac-
cumulation. The most com mon ones are listed
in this section. If a person is exhibiting carbon
monoxide-type symptoms (Refer to B-2E
Symp toms), be sure to take the neces sary pre-
cau tions as prescribed later in this sec tion.
Boats fueled by diesel have limited carbon
monoxide present in the exhaust in comparison
to gasoline engine exhaust. However, the boat
owner should still be aware of the causes and
effects of carbon monoxide which may occur in
different boating situations.
