CO Checklists
Trip Checklist
❏
Educate all passengers about the symptoms of CO poisoning and where CO may accumulate.
❏
When docked, or rafted with another boat, be aware of exhaust emissions from the other boats.
❏
Make sure you know where the exhaust outlets are located on your yacht.
❏
Confirm that water flows from the exhaust outlets when the engines and generator are started.
❏
Listen for any change in exhaust sound, which could mean an exhaust component failure.
❏
Test the operation of each CO monitor by pressing the test button.
Monthly Checklist
❏
Make sure all exhaust clamps are in place and secure.
❏
Look for exhaust leaking from exhaust system components. Signs include rust and/or black streaking, water
leaks, or corroded or cracked fittings.
❏
Inspect rubber exhaust hoses for burned, cracked, or deteriorated sections. All rubber hoses should be pliable and
free of kinks.
Annual Checklist
Have a Trained Marine Technician:
❏
Replace exhaust hoses if cracking, charring, or deterioration is found.
❏
Ensure that your engines and generators are properly tuned, and well maintained.
❏
Inspect each water pump impeller and the water pump housing. Replace if worn. Make sure cooling systems are
in working condition.
❏
Inspect all metallic exhaust components for cracking, rusting, leaking, or loosening. Make sure they check the
cylinder head gasket, exhaust manifold, water injection elbow, and the threaded adapter nipple between the
manifold and the elbow.
❏
Clean, inspect, and confirm proper operation of the generator cooling water anti-siphon valve (if equipped).
