INFORMATION FOR HALON OR AGENT FE-241 FIRE EXTINGUISHERS IS PRO-
VIDED BY THE MANUFACTURER. IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT YOU READ THE IN-
FORMATION CAREFULLY AND COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND THE SYSTEM, IN
THEORY AND OPERATION, BEFORE USING YOUR BOAT.
Bilge and Fuel Fires
Fuel compartment and bilge fires are very dangerous because of the presence of gasoline in the
various components of the fuel system and the possibility for explosion. You must make the
decision to fight the fire or abandon the boat. If the fire cannot be extinguished quickly or it is
too intense to fight, abandoning the boat may be your only option. If you find yourself in this
situation, make sure all passengers have a life preserver on and go over the side and swim well
upwind of the boat. This will keep you and your passengers well clear of any burning fuel that
could be released and spread on the water as the boat burns or in the event of an explosion. When
clear of the danger, check about and account for all those who were aboard with you. Give
whatever assistance you can to anyone in need or in the water without a buoyant device. Keep
everyone together in a group for morale and to aid rescue operations.
GASOLINE CAN EXPLODE. IN THE EVENT OF A FUEL COMPARTMENT OR
BILGE FIRE, YOU MUST MAKE THE DIFFICULT DECISION TO FIGHT THE FIRE
OR ABANDON THE BOAT. YOU MUST CONSIDER YOUR SAFETY, THE SAFETY
OF YOUR PASSENGERS, THE INTENSITY OF THE FIRE AND THE POSSIBILITY
OF AN EXPLOSION IN YOUR DECISION.
11.6 Carbon Monoxide Detector
CARBON MONOXIDE IS A LETHAL, TOXIC GAS THAT IS COLORLESS AND ODOR-
LESS. IT IS A DANGEROUS GAS THAT WILL CAUSE DEATH IN CERTAIN LEV-
ELS.
The carbon monoxide detector is in the cabin and warns the
occupants of dangerous accumulations of carbon monoxide gas. If
excess carbon monoxide fumes are detected, the monitor will sound
an alarm indicating the presence of the toxic gas.
Should a very high level of carbon monoxide exist, the alarm will
sound in a few minutes. However, if small quantities of CO are
present or high levels are short-lived, the alarm will accumulate the
information and determine when an alarm level has been reached.
The carbon monoxide detector is automatically activated whenever
the cabin DC breaker panel is energized.
