Quicksilver 855WE — System & Component Overview and Operaon
Accumulaon of Carbon Monoxide Examples
Wind blowing exhaust towards boat occupants
Operang at slow speed or dead in the water
Operang with “bow high” atude Good air ow — open all hatches, portlights or
canvas openings to let fresh air circulate
vicm breath fresh air deeply. If breathing stops, resuscitate. A vicm oen revives, then relapses
because organs are damaged by lack of oxygen.
Carbon Monoxide Accumulaon & Prevenon
Carbon Monoxide can accumulate in dangerous concentraons anywhere in or around your boat
including on back decks, swim plaorms, or in water around generator exhausts. CO can remain in
or around your boat at dangerous levels even if your engine is no longer running. To minimize the risk
of Carbon Monoxide poisoning, consider the following:
Make sure that at all mes, there is good venlaon throughout the boat. Open all hatches,
portlights, or canvas openings to let fresh air circulate.
Never operate the boat with the canvas enclosure unless there is venlaon throughout the
boat (i.e. forward and a canvas panels are removed to allow air ow through the boat).
Never operate the boat with only the cabin entry door opened.
In the event that the Carbon Monoxide alarm acvates:
Do not ignore the alarm.
Evacuate enclosed areas immediately.
Shut OFF any fuel burning equipment or appliances
Open hatches, doors, portlights and canvas openings to improve venlaon.
Head the boat into the wind.
Carbon Monoxide Monitor
The CO monitor is an electronic instrument that detects carbon monoxide. The detector is very
sensive and will nofy you before dangerous amounts of CO can accumulate which will allow you to
take measures to dissipate the gas from the aected areas. When there is a buildup of CO in the
cabin, the monitor will alert the occupants by ashing a DANGER light and sounding an alarm. The CO
monitor is powered through a breaker on the baery panel in the cockpit.
It is important that you read and understand the CO monitor informaon and operang instrucons.
It is extremely important that you become familiar with the CO monitor and its funcons.
