removed to increase airflow and maintain
proper ventilation whenever the engines are
running.
DO NOT operate the engines with side
curtains closed and the aft or drop curtain
installed.
Use extreme caution when operating an
auxiliary power generator while anchored or
in a slip. Calm wind nights can easily allow
fumes to enter the boat. Inspect the exhaust
systems of propulsion and the auxiliary gen-
erators, if equipped, frequently for possible
leaks. High concentrations of CO in your boat
can originate from an adjacent boat through
open hatches or windows.
Failure to properly ventilate the boat while the
engines are running can cause CO to accu-
mulate within the cabin. Make sure to ven-
tilate the boat and to avoid CO from accu-
mulating in the boat whenever an engine is
running.
Read the pamphlet entitled Carbon Monoxide
Poisoning: What You Can’t See
and the own-
er’s manual supplied by the CO detector man-
ufacturer for additional information regarding
the hazards and symptoms of CO gas, CO
poisoning, and operation instructions. If you
did not receive these manuals, contact the
Pursuit Customer Relations Department.
Many manufacturers of carbon monoxide
detectors offer a testing and recertification
program. We recommend that you contact
the manufacturer of your CO detector and
have it tested and re-certified periodically.
Certain electronic equipment have a limited
life span; follow the CO detectors manufac-
turers recommendations on when the detec-
tor must be replaced.
9.7 First Aid
It is the boat operator’s responsibility to be
familiar with proper first-aid procedures and
able to care for minor injuries or illness of
your passengers. In an emergency, you could
be far from professional medical assistance,
so be prepared. We recommend you be pre-
pared by receiving training in basic first aid
and CPR, through classes given by the Red
Cross or your local hospital.
Equip your boat 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. Keep it
accessible so each person onboard knows
where it is located. As supplies are used,
replace them. Some common drugs and
antiseptics can lose their strength or become
unstable as they age.
Ask a medical professional about the sup-
plies you should carry and the safe shelf life
of prescription drugs or other medical sup-
plies you carry. Replace old supplies whether
they have been used or not.
In many emergency situations, the Coast
Guard can provide assistance in obtaining
medical advice for treatment of serious inju-
ries or illness. If you are within VHF range of
a Coast Guard Station, make the initial con-
tact on channel 16 and follow their instruc-
tions.
