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 enclosed area of a stationary boat that contains or is near a
running engine may be exposed to a hazardous level of carbon monoxide.
WHILE BOAT IS STATIONARY
a - Running the engine when the boat is moored in a confined space
b - Mooring close to another boat that has its engine running
WHILE BOAT IS MOVING
a - Running the boat with the trim angle of the bow too high
b - Running the boat with no forward hatches open
Safe Boating Suggestions
In order to safely enjoy the waterways, familiarize yourself with local and other
governmental boating regulations and restrictions, and consider the following
suggestions.
Use flotation devices. Have an approved personal flotation device of suitable
size for each person aboard (it is the law) and have it readily accessible.
Do not overload your boat. Most boats are rated and certified for maximum
load (weight) capacities (refer to your boat capacity plate). If in doubt, contact
your dealer or the boat's manufacturer.
