Exhaust Emissions (Continued)
POOR VENTILATION
Under certain running and/or wind conditions, permanently enclosed or canvas
enclosed cabins or cockpits with insufficient ventilation may draw in carbon
monoxide. Install one or more carbon monoxide detectors in your boat.
Although the occurrence is rare, on a very calm day, swimmers and passengers in
an unclosed area of a stationary boat that contains or is near a running engine may
be exposed to a hazardous level of carbon monoxide.
