Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning are
dizziness, ears ringing, headaches, nausea and
unconsciousness. A poisoning victim’s skin often
turns cherry red. Because carbon monoxide gas
(CO) is odorless, colorless and tasteless, it is
unlikely to be noticed until a person is overcome.
Dangerous concentrations of carbon monoxide will
be present if:
• the engine and/or generator exhaust
systems leak;
• insufficient fresh air is circulating where people
are present; and
• fumes move from the rear of the boat into the
cockpit and cabin area.
Even in rainy cold weather ventilation must be
maintained to avoid Carbon Monoxide poisoning. You
will get wet and/or cold.
! DANGER
Sleeping on boat requires a operating Carbon
Monoxide detection system in each sleeping location.
