CO Checklists

Trip Checklist
Make sure you know where the exhaust outlets are located on your boat.
Educate all passengers about the symptoms of CO poisoning and where CO may accumulate.
When docked, or rafted with another boat, be aware of exhaust emissions from the other boat.
Listen for any change in exhaust sound, which could mean an exhaust component failure.
Monthly Checklist
Make sure all exhaust clamps are in place and secure.
Look for exhaust leaking from exhaust system components. Signs include rust and/or black streaking,
water leaks, or corroded or cracked fittings.
Inspect rubber exhaust hoses for burned, cracked, or deteriorated sections. All rubber hoses should be
pliable and free of kinks.
Annual Checklist
Have a Trained Marine Technician:
Replace exhaust hoses if cracking, charring, or deterioration is found.
Ensure that your engines and generators are properly tuned, and well maintained.
Inspect each water pump impeller and the water pump housing. Replace if worn. Make sure cooling
systems are in working condition.
Inspect all metallic exhaust components for cracking, rusting, leaking, or loosening. Make sure they check
the cylinder head gasket, exhaust manifold, water injection elbow, and the threaded adapter nipple
between the manifold and the elbow.
Clean, inspect, and confirm proper operation of the generator cooling water anti-siphon valve (if equipped).
