Even in rainy cold weather ventilation must be
maintained to avoid Carbon Monoxide poisoning. You
will get wet and/or cold.
! DAN GER
Sleeping on boat requires an operating Carbon
Monoxide detection system in each sleeping location.
Dangerous concentrations of carbon monoxide will
be present if:
• the engine and/or generator exhaust systems
leak;
• insuffi cient fresh air is circulating where people
are present; and/or
• fumes move from the rear of the boat into the
cockpit and cabin area.
Fig. 1.3.1 gives examples of boat operating
conditions that can lead to high concentrations of
carbon monoxide gas.
To minimize the danger of CO accumulation
when the engine is running, or using burning fuel

• Be sure to have suffi cient ventilation when using
canvas or window-type side curtains when
underway, anchored, moored or docked.
• If the convertible top is installed, operate with
the forward access door open.
• Operate all burning fuel appliances, such
as charcoal, propane, LPG, CNG or alcohol
cooking devices in areas where fresh air can
circulate. Do not use such devices where there
is no noticeable air movement, especially in the
cabin, when anchored, moored or docked.
• Do not idle engine without moving boat for more
than 15 minutes at a time.
• Inspect the exhaust system regularly. (See
Section 8 • Required Inspection, Service &
Maintenance.
If CO poisoning is suspected, have the victim breath
fresh air deeply. If breathing stops, resuscitate. A
victim often revives, then relapses because organs
are damaged by lack of oxygen. Seek immediate
medical attention.
