Accommodation spaces need to be ventilated to introduce
fresh air into the spaces. Ventilation methods (e.g. win-

Do not occupy aft lounging area(s) or swim platform.
Do not swim under or around swim platform.
Do not swim in the vicinity of the exhaust outlet.
Engines running in idle exhaust carbon monoxide that
can accumulate near the hull of the boat. Do not stand or
swim near the engine exhaust or outdrive when engines
are idling or generator is running.
Refer to Figure B13.
Q. Altitude and Sea Conditions
Operation at altitudes greater than 5,000 feet contributes
to inefficient engine performance and may require adjust-
ments to the ignition systems, fuel systems, or changing
the propeller’s size or gear ratio.
1.
Failure to make adjustments to ignition systems and/
or fuel systems for altitude conditions may cause an
increase in CO production.

Reduced power resulting from increased altitude may
require adjustments to propeller size.
M. Dangerous Activity - “Teak Surfing”/“Dragging”
Do not sit on, occupy or hang on any stern appendages
(e.g., swim platforms, boarding ladders, etc.) while un-
derway. Do not body surf, commonly known as “teak
surfing” or “dragging”, etc. in the wake of the boat. Do
not tow persons in close proximity to the stern of the
boat. See Figure B14. This activity can also increase
the possibility of injury due to contact with a rotating pro-
peller.
Heavy sea or out of trim conditions tend to load en-
gines resulting in reduced performance and thereby
increasing their CO production.
