DANGER : Blocked hull exhaust outlets near a pier, dock, sea wall
bulkhead or any other means can cause excessive accumulation
of poisonous carbon monoxide gas within the cabin areas. Make
sure hull exhaust outlets are not blocked. (Figure 2.1)

DANGER : Generator or hull exhaust from other vessels
alongside your boat, while docked or anchored, can emit
carbon monoxide and cause excessive accumulation within
the cabin and cockpit areas. Be alert for generator exhaust
from other vessels alongside. (Figure 2.2)
Figure 2.2 Exhaust Fumes from Vessel Alongside
Carbon monoxide (CO) in the engine exhaust is a poisonous gas which
is odorless, colorless, and heavier than air. Direct prolonged exposure
can result in carbon monoxide poisoning which can be harmful and may
be fatal.
Indications of excessive exposure to carbon monoxide concentrations
may include nausea, dizziness and drowsiness. Carbon monoxide poi-
soning requires the operator’s special and immediate attention! To pre-
vent excess exposure and reduce the possibility of carbon monoxide
accumulation in the cabin of the boat, ensure adequate ventilation by
opening cabin hatches, cabin doors, cabin windows, and side windshield
vents to increase air movement.
Some Chaparral models are equipped with a CO detector. Follow the
operating instructions supplied with the CO detector and test the unit to
verify that it is functioning properly every time you use your boat. Refer to
the information provided by the manufacturer in your owner’s packet to
determine replacement interval for your CO detector.
The following illustrations show how carbon monoxide can possibly accu-
mulate in your boat while at the dock or underway. Become familiar with
these examples and their precautions to prevent dangerous accidents
from occurring on your boat.
