a specific marine type mounting bracket. It is recommended
that the extinguishers be mounted in a readily accessible
position.
Fire extinguishers require regular inspections to ensure that:
• Seals & tamper indicators are
not broken or missing.
• Pressure gauges or indicators
read in the operable range.
• There is no obvious physical
damage, corrosion, leakage
or clogged nozzles.
Refer to the “Federal Requirements
And Safety Tips For Recreational
Boats” pamphlet or contact the
U.S. Coast Guard Boating Safety
Hotline, 1-800-368-5647, for
information on the type and size
fire extinguisher required for your
boat.
Please refer to the information provided by the fire extinguisher
manufacturer for instructions on the proper maintenance and
use of your fire extinguisher.
INFORMATION FOR HALON AGENT FE-241 AND
AGENT FM 200 FIRE EXTINGUISHERS IS PROVIDED
BY THE MANUFACTURER. IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT
YOU READ THE INFORMATION CAREFULLY AND
COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND THE SYSTEM, IN
THEORY AND OPERATION, BEFORE USING YOUR
BOAT.
Bilge and Fuel Fires
Fuel compartment and bilge fires are very dangerous because
of the presence of gasoline and/or diesel fuel in the various
components of the fuel system and the possibility for
explosion. You must make the decision to fight the fire or
abandon the boat. If the fire cannot be extinguished quickly
or it is too intense to fight, abandoning the boat may be your
only option. If you find yourself in this situation, make sure
all passengers have a life preserver on and go over the side
and swim well upwind of the boat. This will keep you and
your passengers well clear of any burning fuel that could be
released and spread on the water as the boat burns or in the
event of an explosion. When clear of the danger, check about
and account for all those who were aboard with you. Give
whatever assistance you can to anyone in need or in the water
without a buoyant device. Keep everyone together in a group
for morale and to aid rescue operations.
GASOLINE CAN EXPLODE. IN THE EVENT OF
A FUEL COMPARTMENT OR BILGE FIRE, YOU
MUST MAKE THE DIFFICULT DECISION TO FIGHT
THE FIRE OR ABANDON THE BOAT. YOU MUST
CONSIDER YOUR SAFETY, THE SAFETY OF YOUR
PASSENGERS, THE INTENSITY OF THE FIRE AND
THE POSSIBILITY OF AN EXPLOSION IN YOUR
DECISION.
Sound Signaling Devices
The navigation rules require sound signals to be made under
certain circumstances. Recreational vessels are also required
to sound fog signals during periods of reduced visibility.
Therefore, you must have some means of making an efficient
sound signal that is audible for .5 nautical miles.
Navigation Lights
Recreational boats are required to display navigation lights
between sunset and sunrise and other periods of reduced
visibility (fog, rain, haze, etc.) Navigation lights are intended
to keep other vessels informed of your presence and course.
Your Albemarle is equipped with the navigation lights
required by the U.S. Coast Guard at the time of manufacture.
It is up to you to make sure they are operational and turned
on when required.
11.6 Carbon Monoxide Monitoring System
CARBON MONOXIDE IS COLORLESS, ODORLESS
AND DANGEROUS. ALL ENGINES, GENERATORS
AND FUEL BURNING APPLIANCES EXHAUST
CARBON MONOXIDE (CO). DIRECT AND
PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO CO WILL CAUSE
BRAIN DAMAGE OR DEATH. SIGNS OF EXPOSURE
TO CO INCLUDE NAUSEA, DIZZINESS AND
DROWSINESS.
The carbon monoxide (CO) detector is installed in the cabin
as standard equipment and warns the occupants of dangerous
accumulations of carbon monoxide gas. If excess carbon
monoxide fumes are detected, the detector will sound an
alarm indicating the presence of the toxic gas.
Should a very high level of carbon monoxide exist, the alarm
will sound in a few minutes. However, if small quantities
of CO are present or high levels are short-lived, the alarm
will accumulate the information and determine when an alarm
level has been reached. The carbon monoxide detector is
automatically activated whenever the batteries are connected.
The power light on the carbon monoxide detector should be
lit to indicate that the carbon monoxide detector is activated.
Always make sure the power light on the carbon monoxide
detector is lit whenever the cabin is occupied.
