DO make sure generators are properly ventilated and
keep engine and generator exhausts clear.
DO always shut off engine and generator when moored,
anchored or standing still.
DO be aware that the station wagon effect, or
backdrafting, can cause carbon monoxide to accumulate
inside the cabin, cockpit and bilge when the boat is
underway, moving at slow speed or idling.
DO keep your boat's engine well-maintained and
regularly check to make sure carbon monoxide detectors
in the cabin are working properly.
DO always wear a properly fitted life jacket while in or
around water.

FUEL
!
Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly
explosive under certain conditions. Explosive
gasoline fumes may accumulate in the engine
compartment. Failure to properly ventilate fumes
with the bilge blower may result in explosive
atmosphere.
Indmar marine engines use gasoline for fuel. The area
under the engine and around the gasoline tank and
supply lines is not open to outside air. Ventilation around
these areas must be provided by your bilge blower
system and air vents located around the boat. We
recommend taking time out to carefully inspect your boat
at least once a day for gasoline fumes, oil leaks, and
areas where wiring may be worn or damaged.
