leak in the exhaust manifold is DANGER-
OUS. Carbon Monoxide Gas (CO) could
enter the cabin area of your yacht.
Carbon Monoxide Gas (CO) is color-
less, 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 exposure causes severe head-
aches, drowsiness, nausea, and rapid
heart rate. Extreme exposure results in
unconsciousness, convulsions, cardio-
respiratory failure, and death. If Carbon
Monoxide Gas (CO) is detected in your
yacht, immediately contact a quali
fi ed
technician to locate and repair the source
of the poisonous gas. DO NOT enter your
yacht until repairs have been made and
the Carbon Monoxide Gas (CO) is low-
ered to an acceptable level.

less hot water you use, the less time your
generator will have to run, resulting in lower
fuel consumption.
