Example of desired air flow through the boat:
Poor Ventilation
Under certain running 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 open area of a stationary boat that
contains or is near a running engine may be exposed to a hazardous level of carbon monoxide.
1. Examples of poor ventilation while the boat is stationary:
a - Operating the engine when the boat
is moored in a confined space
b - Mooring close to another boat that
has its engine operating
2. Examples of poor ventilation while the boat is moving:
a - Operating the boat with the
trim angle of the bow too
high
b - Operating the boat with no
forward hatches open
(station wagon effect)
