CARBONMONOXIDE
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. Provide ad-
equate ventilation. Open hatches, doors, win-
dows and vents to insure adequate ventilation.
Close engine compartment doors and hatches
when engine or generator is running. Avoid
operating the boat for extended periods of time
at idle speed, and be sensitive to weather con-
ditions that may prevent CO from dissipating
into the air. Do not stand or swim near engine
or generator exhausts when engines are run-
ning.
The following are standard whistle signals:
