O - 4 USE OF WEATHER COVERS AND
CARBON MONOXIDE
When an engine is running, a natural vacuum may
exist with the right wind and sea conditions to allow
exhaust gases (which includes carbon monoxide) to
seep into the boat. When canvas is utilized, this
compounds the possibili ty of this occurring and inhibits
natural ventilation. For more information, refer to
Section B-2 - Carbon Monoxide in this manual.
The carbon monoxide in exhaust fumes can be
hazardous. It is important for you and your pas-
sengers to be aware of the potential safety hazard
created by ex haust fumes. Familiarize yourself with
the symptoms of individuals overcome by carbon
monoxide, and most importantly, ways you can
protect yourself and your guests. See Figure O9 - Car-
bon Monoxide Canvas Warning Label and Figure O10
- Carbon Monoxide Warning Label.
