2.2.3 Checklist: Fire in the engine
• Stop the engine.
• Steer the boat up against the wind, if possible.
• Make sure all passengers have life jackets.
• If necessary:
◦ Evacuate the passengers.
◦ Call for sea rescue.
• Shut off fuel and main power switches.
• Extinguish the fire.
• Wait until fully certain that the fire has been extinguished before opening the engine cover.
Carefully open the engine cover and be prepared to use the handheld fire extinguisher if
necessary for post-fire extinguishing.
• Put out possible smoldering fires with water.
2.2.4 Checklist: After fire
• Open doors and windows for better ventilation.
• Inspect the boat and its equipment, and repair any damages.
• Contact local authorities, if needed.
• Make sure that the fire extinguishing equipment is refilled or replaced after use.
2.3 Carbon monoxide
WARNING
Carbon monoxide (CO) is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and extremely dangerous
gas.
All engines, generators, and fuel burning appliances produce CO as exhaust.
Prolonged exposure to low concentrations or very quick exposure to high
concentrations may cause brain damage or death.
Open all doors, curtains, windows, and hatches to let fresh air circulate when
running an engine or generator or burning any fuel while the boat is anchored,
moored or docked.
There is a carbon monoxide monitor system in the boat. For the exact location of the CO monitor, see the
section
Safety diagram
.
• With regular intervals, check that the monitor system is functioning. For instructions, see
the equipment manufacturer's manual.
It is not possible to turn the CO monitor off when the boat is in use.
If you can smell engine or generator exhaust, you are inhaling CO. CO can also be present without the
smell of exhaust fumes.
