Carbon monoxide (CO) can be harmful or fatal
if inhaled. Brain damage or death can occur if
exposed to carbon monoxide. Keep exhaust
outlets clear of blockage. Do not stand or swim
near engine exhaust when engine is running.
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. (See Preface for actual
warning label regarding carbon monoxide.)
