Safety Equipment
Never disable the CO detector because you think
the alarm may be false. Always contact the detec-
tor manufacturer or your local fire department for
assistance in finding and correcting the situation.
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.
You should read the owner’s manual supplied by
the CO detector manufacturer and included with
this manual for operation instructions and addi-
tional information regarding the hazards of carbon
monoxide gas. Refer to the Ventilation System
chapter for information on ventilating your boat
properly while underway and other precautions
while at anchor or in a slip. This is especially es-
sential if your boat is equipped with the generator.
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.
1.8 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 pas-
sengers. 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 pro-
fessional 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.
