Exhaust System
•
The exhaust system is designed to keep seawater out of the engines in most sea conditions.
•
However, do not anchor the stern to sea or shut the engines off if high seas might flood the exhaust system.
•
Always consider the sea conditions before anchoring or shutting Off the engines.
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD!
Leaking engine and/or generator exhaust is a source of dangerous carbon
monoxide gas (CO). Check all exhaust systems before each trip.
•
Look for leaks in the exhaust systems of the propulsion engines and
the generator.
•
Look for discoloration, water leaks, carbon or stains around all joints.
•
Make sure all of the exhaust clamps are in place and secured.
•
Make sure the ventilation systems work and are not obstructed or restricted.
•
To reduce the chance of CO entering the living spaces, fill any gaps around engine room
plumbing, cableways, exhaust systems, doors, hatches, and access panels.
