Check for engine air leaks. A leak in the
engine intake manifold disturbs the air/fuel
mixture and reduces your performance. A
leak in the exhaust manifold is DANGER-
OUS. Carbon Monoxide Gas (CO) could
enter the cabin area of your yacht. 15.
Carbon Monoxide Gas (CO)
is colorless, odorless and tasteless. It is highly
poisonous, endangering lives even at very low
levels of concentration. Mild exposure causes
headaches and fatigue, often resembling “
fl
u-
like” symptoms. Medium exposur e causes
severe headaches, dr owsiness, nausea, and
rapid heart rate. Extreme exposure results in
unconsciousness, convulsions, cardiorespira-
tory failure, and death. If Carbon Monoxide
Gas (CO) is detected in your yacht, immedi-
ately contact a quali
fi
ed technician to locate
and repair the sour ce of the poisonous gas.
DO NOT enter your yacht until repairs have
been made and the Carbon Monoxide Gas
(CO) is lowered to an acceptable level.
Keep hot water use to a minimum. The less
hot water you use, the less time your genera-
tor will have to run, resulting in lower fuel
consumption. 16.
