B - 2 CARBON MONOXIDE
Class 1 powerboats (16 to less than 26 feet) are re-
quired to carry a hand, mouth or power operated horn
or whistle. It must produce a blast of two-second dura-
tion 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 occur if
exposed to carbon monoxide. Keep exhaust
outlets clear of blockage. Provide adequate
ventilation. Open hatches, doors, windows and
vents to insure adequate ventilation. Close en-
gine compartment doors and hatches when
engine or generator is running. Avoid operat-
ing the boat for extended periods of time at
idle speed, and be sensitive to weather condi-
tions that may prevent CO from dissipating into
the air. (See Preface for actual warning label
regarding carbon monoxide.)
The following are standard whistle signals:
•
•
•
•
•
One Prolonged Blast Warning Signal
One Short Blast
Two Short Blasts
Three Short Blasts
Pass on my Port Side
Pass on my Starboard Side
Engines in Reverse
