CARBON MONOXIDE
CARBON MONOXIDE!
Carbon monoxide (CO) can be harmful or fatal
if inhaled. Brain damage or death can result
from prolonged exposure to carbon monox-
ide. Keep exhaust outlets clear of blockage.
Provide adequate ventilation. Open hatches,
doors, windows and vents to insure adequate
ventilation. Close engine compartment doors
and hatches when engine or generator is run-
ning. Avoid operating the boat for extended
periods of time at idle speed, and be sensitive
to weather conditions that may prevent CO
from dissipating into the air. Do not stand or
swim near engine or generator exhausts when
engines are running.
Carbon.monoxide.accumulation.is.affected.by.many.
variables.(e.g.,.boat.geometry,.hatch,.window.and.
door.opening,.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.information.included.in.this.section.is.to.
inform.the.boat.owner.of.possible.cause.and.effects.
of.carbon.monoxide.exposure..This.information.has.
been.reprinted.with.permission.from.the.American.
Boat.and.Yacht.Council's.(ABYC).technical.informa-
tion.report:."Educational.Information.About.Carbon.
Monoxide". This information pertains to all gasoline-
powered.boats.manufactured.by.Four.Winns..
NOTICE
The boat owner should be aware that other
factors may contribute to carbon monoxide
accumulation. The most common ones are
listed in this section. If a person is exhibiting
carbon monoxide-type symptoms (Refer to B-
E Symptoms), be sure to take the necessary
precautions as prescribed later in this section.
NOTICE
Boats fueled by diesel have limited carbon
monoxide present in the exhaust in compari-
son 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.
