tion of CO.
F. Treatment Treatment (Evaluate, Ventilate,

The following are examples of possible situa-
tions where carbon monoxide can accumulate
within your boat while docked, anchored, or un-
derway. Become familiar with these examples

If the victim is not breathing, perform artificial respi-

Boathouses,
Investigate source of CO and take corrective ac-
tion.
Proximity to sea walls, or
Proximity to other boats.
G. Inspection
Orient the boat for maximum dissipation of the exhaust
or DO NOT run the boat or boat equipment for extended
periods under these conditions. See Figure B7.
Look and listen for leaks in the exhaust systems of both
the generator and propulsion engine(s). Look for discol-
oration around joints in the system (water leaks, carbon,
stains, etc.).
Dangerous levels of carbon monoxide can also accu-
mulate around the outside of the boat when the boat
engine or generator is running. Do not run the engine or
generator when anyone is in the water around your boat.

2.
Make sure all exhaust clamps are in place and se-
cured.
Make sure ventilation systems work and are not ob-
structed or restricted.
