WARNING:
CARBON MONOXIDE EXPOSURE
Carbon Monoxide is an odorless, colorless and tasteless gas that cannot be
smelled, seen or tasted. Over exposure to carbon monoxide gas may lead to brain
damage, unconsciousness or even death.
Carbon Monoxide is a hazardous gas that is produced when items containing carbon
are burned. Items such as wood, charcoal, gasoline, natural gas, propane, and
petroleum products such as oil. Carbon Monoxide is found in many areas and is
produced by all types of internal combustion engines, heaters, charcoal grills, and any
other open flame appliances. There are many possible situations for the accumulation
of carbon monoxide to occur in your vessel. Wind direction, boat speed, and being close
to other vessels are just a few of the possible ways that would permit exposure to
carbon monoxide gases. It is important that regular inspections of the exhaust system
and the engine’s fresh air vents are clean and free of obstructions. Check that all
maintenance is properly performed by a qualified technician. Adequate air ventilation in
all areas of your boat is necessary in order to prevent build-up of carbon monoxide gas.
