symptoms should immediately be moved to an area of fresh air. Have the victim breath deeply
and seek immediate medical attention.
Remember, carbon monoxide detectors do not guarantee that CO poisoning will not occur. Do
not use the CO detector as a replacement for ordinary precautions or periodic inspections of
equipment. Never rely on alarm systems to save your life, common sense is still prudent and
necessary.
Please read the owner’s manual supplied by the CO detector manufacturer and included with this
manual, for operation instructions and additional information regarding the hazards of carbon
monoxide gas. Refer to the Ventilation Chapter for information on ventilating your boat properly
while underway and other precautions while at anchor or in a slip. This is especially essential
if your boat is equipped with a generator. The book entitled “Sportfish, Cruisers, Yachts,”
included with this manual, also has additional information and cautions regarding carbon
monoxide poisoning.
Many manufacturers of carbon monoxide detectors offer a testing and recertification program.
We recommend that you contact the manufacturer of your carbon monoxide detector and have
it tested and recertified periodically.
ACTUATION OF THE CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR INDICATES THE PRES-
ENCE OF CARBON MONOXIDE (CO) WHICH CAN BE FATAL. EVACUATE THE
CABIN IMMEDIATELY. DO A HEAD COUNT TO CHECK THAT ALL PERSONS ARE
ACCOUNTED FOR. DO NOT REENTER THE CABIN UNTIL IT HAS BEEN AIRED
OUT AND THE PROBLEM FOUND AND CORRECTED.
11.7 First Aid
It is the operator's responsibility to be familiar with the proper
first-aid procedures and be able to care for minor injuries or
illnesses of your passengers. In an emergency, you could be far
from professional medical assistance. We strongly recommend
that you be prepared by receiving training in basic first aid and
CPR. This can be done through classes given by the Red Cross
or your local hospital.
Your boat should also be equipped with at least a simple marine first-aid kit and a first-aid
manual. The marine first-aid kit should be designed for the marine environment and be well
supplied. It should be accessible and each person on board should be aware of its location. As
supplies are used, replace them promptly. Some common drugs and antiseptics may lose their
strength or become unstable as they age. Ask a medical professional about the supplies you
should carry and the safe shelf life of prescription drugs or other medical supplies that may be
in your first-aid kit. Replace questionably old supplies whether they have been used or not.
