or other activities in or near the stern area of the boat, including,
without limitation, the swim platform, the rear sun deck, and aft
facing lounge seats when the engine is in operation. Under no
circumstances should the owner and/or operator allow persons
to hold onto the swim platform while the engine is operating and
the boat is in motion. These activities (sometimes known as “teak
surfing” or “platform dragging,” where the participant holds onto
the swim platform and is pulled through the water, and/or “body
surfs” immediately behind the boat) are extremely dangerous,
highly likely to result in death or serious bodily injury, and are a
misuse of this product.
Carbon monoxide (CO) enters your bloodstream through the lungs,
blocking the oxygen your body needs. Prolonged exposure to low
concentrations or very quick exposure to high concentrations can
be deadly to all on board.
Early symptoms of CO poisoning include irritated eyes, headache,
nausea, weakness and dizziness. These can be confused with
seasickness or intoxication. Altitude, certain health-related
problems, and age will increase the effects of CO. Persons who
smoke or are exposed to high concentrations of cigarette smoke,
consume alcohol, or have lung disorders or heart problems are
particularly susceptible to an increase in the effects of CO. However,
anyone can be affected. Another factor to consider is that physical
exertion accelerates the rate at which the blood absorbs CO.
CARBON MONOXIDE (CO)
When anchoring the boat, you MUST turn OFF the engine. In most
models, exhaust fumes containing carbon monoxide are emitted
from the exhaust flap area of the transom immediately below the
swim platform. No one should ever be on the swim platform or
transom while the engine is operating.
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, tasteless, odorless and poisonous
gas that accumulates rapidly and can cause serious injury or
death. Exposure to carbon monoxide can be fatal in a matter of
minutes. Exposure to even low concentrations of carbon monoxide
must not be ignored because the effects of long term carbon
monoxide exposure can build up and be just as lethal as high
concentrations. Carbon monoxide from exhaust pipes of inboard or
outboard engines may build up inside and outside the boat in areas
near exhaust vents, particularly during slow-speed operations.
STAY AWAY from these exhaust vent areas, which are located at the
stern of the boat, and DO NOT swim or engage in any water sports
