Other factors during boat operation which may affect carbon monoxide concentration
include:
•
Adding or removing canvas may raise or lower CO levels.
•
Opening and closing ports, hatches and windows may raise or lower CO
levels on board a boat. When airflow is moving forward inside the boat, CO
may be entering the boat.
•
Operating a boat at slow speeds with a following wind should be avoided.
Consider changing direction, adjusting speed, or both.
•
Be aware that cockpit and deck drains can be a source of CO ingress into
boats, especially boats with cockpit or decks enclosed with canvas or
permanent boat structures.
Air conditioning – lack of system maintenance may cause CO to be brought into the
air-conditioned spaces by the air conditioner. Be sure that the air handling ducts and
plenums are sealed from the engine room(s).
Ventilation of Occupied Spaces – Occupied spaces need to be ventilated to introduce
fresh air into spaces. Ventilation methods (e.g. windows, hatches, doors and
blowers) used to accomplish this may, under certain conditions, bring hazardous
levels of CO into the occupied spaces. Be aware of all prevailing conditions when
using these ventilation methods.
Portable Generator Sets – Do not use this equipment on boats. Gasoline powered
portable generator sets produce CO. These sets discharge their exhaust products in
locations which can lead to an increase in the accumulation of carbon monoxide in
the occupied space.
It is of vital importance that the owner / skipper is familiar with the layout of the vessel
and that crew and passengers are aware of the location of all safety equipment.
