WARNING

STAY CLEAR OF EXHAUST AREAS
41127
Engine exhaust gases contain harmful carbon monoxide. Avoid
areas of concentrated engine exhaust gases. When engines are
running, keep swimmers away from the boat, and do not sit, lie, or
stand on swim platforms or boarding ladders. While underway, do
not allow passengers to be positioned immediately behind the boat
(platform dragging, teak/body surfing). This dangerous practice
not only places a person in an area of high engine exhaust
concentration, but also subjects them to the possibility of injury
from the boat propeller.
GOOD VENTILATION
Ventilate the passenger area, open side curtains or forward
hatches to remove fumes.
