BOATING SAFETY

  |  

34

WARNING MARKERS

It is a good idea to ask local authorities if there are hazardous areas and how 

they are marked . Boaters must also recognize the flag designs, which indicate 
that skin divers are present and keep well clear of the area .

Skin Diver Warning Flag

Watch for swimmers . Swimming areas may not be marked .  
Steer clear from the area and remain alert .

Swim Area Warning Buoy

Navigation markers serve as a means of identifying navigable  
routes, and indicate water hazards . Boaters should become  
familiar with navigation markers and stay within marked  
boundaries and clear of hazards .

CARBON MONOXIDE

Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a colorless and odorless gas produced by all engines and 

fuel burning appliances . Even with the best boat design and construction, plus 
the utmost care in inspection, operation and maintenance, hazardous levels 

of CO may still be present in accommodation spaces under certain conditions . 

To reduce CO accumulation, always ventilate the boat interior and avoid boating 

situations which cause increased exposure . The boat owner, as well as all boat 
occupants, must ensure that they understand the dangers of carbon monoxide 
and comply with all safety recommendations/requirements .

No one should be allowed to stand or sit in any area of the boat that is not a des-
ignated seat while the boat is running . It is the responsibility or the boat owner 

and occupants of the boat to understand and comply with all warning labels 
and safety recommendations/requirements .

 

DANGER

Carbon monoxide (CO) can cause 

brain damage or death.

•  Engine and generator exhaust con-

tains orderless and colorless carbon 
monoxide gas .

•  Carbon monoxide will be around 

the back of the boat when engine 

is running and after the engine is 

turned off .

•  Move to fresh air, if you feel nausea, 

headache, dizziness, 

or drowsiness .
