  • Page 18: Special Safety Messages

    Safety And Warranty Information SPECIAL SAFETY MESSAGES CARBON MONOXIDE AND BOATING Burning a material containing carbon produces carbon monoxide (CO), an odorless and col- orless gas. Because CO has a similar density as air, it can spread throughout an enclosed space unnoticed because you cannot see it or smell it.
  • Page 19 SPECIAL SAFETY MESSAGES  WARNING Engine exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide (CO) which can accumulate in and around the boat (under bimini top, in cockpit, etc.). CO can be harmful or fatal if inhaled. Assure there is adequate ventilation whenever running engine(s). Boat houses, seawalls, and other boats in close proximity or confined areas can contribute to increased CO levels.
  • Page 20 Safety And Warranty Information B00061 Even with the best boat design and construction, CO may still accumulate in enclosed or con- fined areas under certain conditions. Continually observe passengers for symptoms of CO poi- soning. CO Detector It is strongly recommended that you have CO detectors installed in boats with canvas enclo- sures.
