Prelaunch and Underway - Section T
B. Starting
To prevent excessive exposure and reduce
the possibility of carbon monoxide accumu-
lation in the cockpit areas of the boat, the
operator should provide adequate ventilation
in each of these areas. Utilize hatches, doors,
windows and side vents to increase air move-
ment. See Section B- for information about
the dangers of Carbon Monoxide.

6... .Once.engine.has.warmed.up,.check.water.temper-
ature.gauge.to.ensure.engine.temperature.stays.
within.optimum.range..If.temperature.reading.is.
abnormally.high,.stop.engine.immediately.and.
inspect.for.cause.of.high.reading..
7... .With.engine.running,.voltmeter.should.show.a.
reading.between.12.and.15.volts..
Passengers seated in the bow area should not
obstruct the driver’s vision.
IMPORTANT:
.Passengers.are.prohibited.from.riding.
on.the.bow.with.feet.hanging.over.the.side.or.ride.

The.Coast.Guard.considers.these.acts.to.be.negligent.
or.grossly.negligent.operation..They.are.prohibited.
by.law.because.falls.from.moving.boats.are.a.major.
cause.of.fatal.recreational.boating.accidents..
IMPORTANT:
.The.presence.of.the.capacity.plate.
does.not.relieve.the.boat.operator.from.the.respon-
sibility.of.using.common.sense.or.sound.judgment..
Turbulent.waters.and.adverse.weather.conditions.will.
reduce.the.maximum.load.capacity.rating.of.the.boat..
