H. Sound Signaling Devices
B - 2 CARBON MONOXIDE
Class 1 and Class 2 powerboats are required to carry a
hand, mouth or power operated horn or whistle. It must
produce a blast of two-second duration and audible at
a distance of at least one-half (1/2) mile.
Carbon Monoxide!
Carbon monoxide (CO) can be harmful or fatal
if inhaled. Brain damage or death can result
from prolonged exposure to carbon monoxide.
Keep exhaust outlets clear of blockage. Pro-
vide adequate ventilation. Open hatches,
doors, windows and vents to insure adequate
ventilation. Close engine compartment doors
and hatches when engine or generator is run-
ning. Avoid operating the boat for extended
periods of time at idle speed, and be sensitive
to weather conditions that may prevent CO from
dissipating into the air. Do not stand or swim
near engine or generator exhausts when en-
gines are running.
The following are standard whistle signals:

One Prolonged Blast Warning Signal

expected to rise or fall like some other gases, but
will distribute itself throughout the space.
