tress. NEVER use this word unless there
is an emergency and assistance is need-
ed immediately.
DISCHARGE OF OIL
The discharge of oil or oily waste into or
upon navigable waters of the United States
or of the contiguous zones is strictly prohibit-
ed by the Federal Water Pollution Control
Act. If such a discharge occurs and causes
a film or sheen upon or discoloration of the
surface of the water, or causes an emulsion
or sludge beneath the surface of the water,
the violators are subject to a penalty of
$5,000. Notify the Coast Guard immediately
or call toll-free 1-800-424-8802 to report any
such incident.
Safety Precautions for Engine
Exhaust
WARNING
Do NOT inhale exhaust fumes!
Exhaust contains carbon monox-
ide. Carbon monoxide is colorless,
odorless and potentially lethal.
The carbon monoxide present in exhaust
fumes can be extremely hazardous. Direct,
prolonged exposure will cause brain dam-
age or death. Incoherence, drowsiness, loss
of consciousness, headaches, nausea and
vomiting are some symptoms of exposure to
carbon monoxide.
If you think exhaust fumes are entering your
boat, correct the problem immediately.
Observe the following safety precautions:
● Be alert for the odor of exhaust fumes.
●
A natural vacuum created while underway
in certain wind and sea conditions may
allow exhaust to be drawn into the cabin.
Adjust the direction of the boat while
underway as necessary to alleviate the
presence of exhaust fumes.
●
Do not allow the boat to remain stationary
with the engine running for any extended
period.
!
●
Use care when operating engines or gen-
erator in confined areas. Exhaust fumes
can enter the boat even with all windows,
doors and hatches closed.
● Never operate the generator or leave the
engine running if the exhaust port is
obstructed.
●
NEVER run the engines or generator
while everyone onboard is sleeping. If a
person is sleeping, be sure adequate
fresh air ventilation is provided.
● If your boat is equipped with a forward
hatch or windshield side vents, OPEN
THEM while underway.
●
If you choose to be underway with canvas
up, you must vent the forward area to
clear the cockpit of fumes.
● Inspect the engine exhaust system fre-
quently for tightness of clamps and
hoses. If you notice a change in engine
sound, check all exhaust connections.
