 In all gasoline powered boats, engine exhaust systems

produce colorless, odo

rless carbon monoxide gas (’CO’) Direct prolonged exposure can result in

CO poisoning which 

may be harmful or fatal. to prevent excess exposure and reduce the possibility of

accumulations of CO in the boat, the operator should include adequate ventilation through utilization of cabi

n

hatches and walk-through windshields to increase air movement through the boat. The following conditions tend

to increase the accumulation of CO in and about the boat and require the operator

’s

 particular attention:
