Carbon Monoxide Hazard During Operation
Carbon monoxide (CO) in the engine exhaust is a poisonous gas which is
odorless, colorless, and heavier than air. Direct prolonged exposure
can result in carbon monoxide poisoning which can be harmful and may
be fatal.
Indications of excessive exposure to carbon monoxide concentrations
may include nausea, dizziness and drowsiness. Carbon monoxide
poisoning requires the operator’s special and immediate attention! To
pre‐ vent excess exposure and reduce the possibility of carbon
monoxide accumulation in the cabin of the boat, ensure adequate
ventilation by opening cabin hatches, cabin doors, cabin windows, and
side windshield vents to increase air movement.
Some Robalo models are equipped with a CO detector. Follow the
operating instructions supplied with the CO detector and test the unit
to verify that it is functioning properly every time you use your boat.
Refer to the information provided by the manufacturer in your owner’s
packet to determine replacement interval for your CO detector.
The following illustrations show how carbon monoxide can possibly
accumulate in your boat while at the dock or underway. Become familiar
with these examples and their precautions to prevent dangerous
accidents from occurring on your boat.
