Boat houses, seawalls, and other boats in close proximity or confined areas can con-
tribute to increased CO levels.
operators must be aware that operation, mooring,
and anchoring in an area with other boats puts them in jeopardy of Co accumula-
tion from other sources. likewise, a boat operator must be aware of how exhaust
from his/her boat will affect others.
Operation of the engines while moored may
cause CO accumulation in your boat and those around you.
Installing rear canvas while underway increases the chance of CO accumulation in
your boat. Be sure to provide adequate ventilation. If the windshield has vents, open
them before getting underway to increase positive air flow and decrease the chances
of CO accumulation.
Even with the best boat design and construction, CO may still accumulate in
enclosed areas under certain conditions. Continually observe passengers for symp-
toms of CO poisoning.
