The following are examples of possible situa-
tions where carbon monoxide can accumulate
within your boat while docked, anchored, or un-

and their  precautions to prevent   dangerous
accidents or death.
Administer oxygen if available.

Make sure all exhaust clamps are in place and se-
cured.
Pay attention to prevailing  conditions and provide for
ventilation to induce fresh air and minimize exhaust re-
entry.  Orient the  boat for maximum dissipation of the
exhaust.  DO NOT run the  boat or boat equipment for
extended periods under these conditions.   See Figure
B7.
Make sure ventilation systems work and are not ob-
structed or restricted.
Make sure gaps around the engine room plumbing
and cableways and exhaust system doors, hatches,
and access panels are minimized to reduce the op-
portunity  for  CO  to  enter  the  accommodation
