distress rockets, approved fire extinguisher, bandages, life buoy, anchor, paddle, torch, etc.
●

Plan your desired route from the charts. Calculate distance and fuel consumption. Listen to
weather reports.

Inform relations of your planned route for long trips. Remember to inform of changed plans or
delays.
●
Inform the people on board of where the safety equipment is located and how it works. Make
sure there is more than one person on board that knows how to start and maneuver the boat
safely.
This list should be supplemented with necessary safety equipment depending on the type of boat,
where and how it is being used, etc. We recommend you get in touch with a regional boat or marine
safety organization to obtain more detailed marine safety information.
Carbon monoxide poisoning
When a vessel is moving forward, it will cause a certain vacuum to form behind the vessel. In unfortunate circum-
stances, the suction from this vacuum can be so great that the exhaust gases from the vessel are drawn into the
bridge or cabin and cause carbon monoxide poisoning. This problem is most prevalent on high, wide vessels with
abrupt stern. Other factors that can increase the effect of the suction are wind conditions, load distribution, swells,
trim, open hatches and portholes, etc. Most modern vessels, however, are designed in such a way that this pro-
blem is very rare. If suction should arise anyway, do not open hatches or portholes at the fore of the vessel. Sur-
prisingly, this will otherwise increase the suction. Try changing speed, trim, or load distribution instead. Get in
touch with your Volvo Penta dealer for help in obtaining the best solution for your vessel.
