Installing rear can vas while underw ay increases
the chance of CO accumulation in your boat. Be
sure to pro vide adequate ventilation (F igure
2.11) . If your windshield has vents, open them
before getting underw ay to increase positive air
flow and decrease the chances of CO accumula-
tion. If your boat is a bowrider model, remo ve
bow area can vas and w alk through can vas if
underway with bimini top installed to increase
airflow through the boat and decrease chances
of CO accumulation.
Even with the best boat design and constr uction,
CO may still accumulate in accommodation spaces
under certain conditions. Continually obser ve pas-
sengers for symptoms of CO poisoning .
WATER SPORTS
Water skiing, kneeboarding or riding a tow ed,
inflatable apparatus are some of the more pop-
ular water sports. Taking part in any water sport
requires increased safety a wareness by the par-
ticipant and the boat operator . If you ha ve never
pulled someone behind your boat before, it is a
good idea to spend some hour s as an obser ver,
working with and lear ning from an experienced
driver. It is also impor tant to be a ware of the
skill and experience of the per son being pulled.
Everyone participating in a w ater sport should
obser ve these guidelines:
1. Allow only capable swimmer s to take part in
any water sport.
2. Always wear a personal flotation de vice (PFD)
approved by the U.S. Coast Guard. W earing a
properly designed PFD will help a stunned or
unconscious per son sta y afloat.
3. Always participate in w ater spor ts in safe
areas. Stay away from other boats, beaches,
swimmers and heavily traveled waterways.
4. Be considerate to other s you share the
water with.
6. Give immediate attention to a per son who has
fallen. He or she is vulnerable in the w ater
alone and ma y not be seen b y other boater s.
7. Approach a per son in the w ater from the lee
side (opposite the direction of the wind). Stop
the motor before coming close to the per son.
8. Turn off engine and anchor your boat before
swimming.
9. Swim only in areas designated as safe for
swimming. These are usually mar ked with a
swim area buo y (Figure 2.12) . Do not swim
alone or at night.
10. Do not allow an yone near the propeller(s),
even when the engine is off. Propeller
blades can be shar p and can continue to
turn even after the engine if off. Sta y at
least 150 feet a way from areas mar ked by a
diver down float (Figure 2.13) .
