• Fumes from the engine(s), generator(s)
and other equipment and appliances
that burn fuel contain carbon monoxide.
Carbon monoxide can kill you. Open all
doors, hatches, curtains, and windows to
allow fresh air to circulate and dissipate
CO present in enclosed spaces, especially
when the boat is moored or anchored.
• Proper ventilation must be maintained,
even during inclement weather to prevent
dangerous levels of carbon monoxide
build-up.
• Sleeping aboard a boat requires a working
carbon monoxide detection system,
preferably in each sleeping quarter.

DANGER
Even in rainy cold weather, ventilation must be
maintained to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning.
You will get wet and/or cold.

or intoxication, potentially delaying the seeking of
medical attention. The poisoning victim’s skin often
turns cherry red. If CO poisoning is suspected, have
the victim breath fresh air deeply. If breathing stops,
resuscitate. A victim often revives, then relapses
because organs are damaged by lack of oxygen.
CO can accumulate in dangerous concentrations
anywhere in or around your boat including on back
decks, swim platforms, or in water around generator
exhaust. CO can remain in or around the boat at
dangerous levels even if the engine is no longer
running (see Figure 1.6.1). Remember:
• If you smell exhaust you are inhaling CO.
• Change course/speed to improve ventilation.
• Adjusting the canvas enclosure and/or vents and
other opening devices can improve ventilation.
To minimize the danger of carbon monoxide
accumulation:
• Do not idle the engine without moving the boat
for more than 15 minutes at a time.
• Inspect the exhaust system regularly.
• Operate all fuel burning appliances, such as
charcoal, propane, LPG, or CNG cooking
devices in areas where fresh air can circulate.
