Where and How CO Can Accumulate
Stationary conditions that increase CO accumulations include:
A.
Using engine, generator, or other fuel
burning device when boat is moored
in a confined space.
B.
Mooring too close to another boat that
is using its engine, generator, or other
fuel burning device.
To correct stationary situations A and/or B:
• Close all windows, portlights and hatches.
• If possible, move your boat away from source of CO.
Running conditions that increase CO accumulations include:
D.
Running boat without through ventilation
(station wagon effect).
C.
Running boat with trim angle of bow
too high.
To correct running situations C and/or D:
• Trim bow down.
• Open windows and canvas.
• When possible, run boat so that prevailing winds help dissipate exhaust.
How to Protect Yourself and Others From CO
• Know where and how CO may accumulate in and around your boat (see above).
• Always maintain fresh air circulation throughout your boat.
• Know where your engine and generator exhaust outlets are located and keep everyone away from
these areas.
• Never sit on, or hang onto, the back deck or transom platform while the engine is running.
• Never enter the areas under transom platforms where exhaust outlets are located.
• Although CO can be present without the smell of exhaust fumes, if exhaust fumes are detected on
your boat, take immediate action to dissipate these fumes.
• Treat symptoms of seasickness as possible CO poisoning. Get the person into fresh air immediately.
Seek medical attention—unless you’re sure it’s not CO.
• Follow the checklists provided on the next page.
• Get a Vessel Safety Check.
