Inhaling engine exhaust gases can result in carbon monoxide poisoning,
which can lead to unconsciousness, brain damage, or death. Avoid exposure
to carbon monoxide.
Stay clear from exhaust areas when engine is running. Keep the boat
well‑ventilated while at rest or underway.
STAY CLEAR OF EXHAUST AREAS
Engine exhaust gases contain harmful carbon monoxide. Avoid areas of
concentrated engine exhaust gases. When the engines are running, keep
swimmers away from the boat, and do not sit, lie, or stand on swim platforms or
boarding ladders. While underway, do not allow passengers to be positioned
immediately behind the boat (platform dragging, teak/body surfing). This
dangerous practice places a person in an area of high engine exhaust
concentration.
GOOD VENTILATION
Ventilate the passenger area. Open side curtains or forward hatches to remove
fumes.
Example of desired air flow through the boat:
POOR VENTILATION
Under certain running or wind conditions, permanently enclosed cabins, canvas
enclosed cabins, or cockpits with insufficient ventilation may draw in carbon
monoxide. Install one or more carbon monoxide detectors in your boat.
