.. Be.aware.that.cockpit.and.deck.drains.can.be.a.
source.of.CO.ingress.into.boats,.especially.boats..
with.cockpit.or.decks.enclosed.with.canvas.or.
permanent.boat.structures..
O. Air Conditioning
Lack.of.system.maintenance.may.cause.CO.to.be.
brought.into.the.air-conditioned.spaces.by.the.air.

manufacturer’s.literature.for.additional.information.
L. Accumulation of Exhaust Gases-
Swim Platform
P. Ventilation of Accommodation
(Occupied) Spaces
When.the.propulsion.engine(s).or.generator.is..
running,.CO.is.produced.and.may.remain.in.the.
vicinity.of.the.exhaust.outlet.(including.underwater.
exhaust.outlets.such.as.sterndrives.and.outboards)...
Refer.to.Figure.B-14.
Accommodation.spaces.need.to.be.ventilated.to.
introduce.fresh.air.into.the.spaces..Ventilation.meth-
ods.(e.g..windows,.hatches,.doors,.and.blowers)..
used.to.accomplish.this.may,.under.certain.conditions,.
bring.hazardous.levels.of.CO.into.the.occupied.
spaces..Care.should.be.taken.to.be.aware.of.all.
prevailing.conditions.when.using.these.ventilating.
methods.
1.. Do.not.occupy.aft.lounging.area(s)..
or.swim.platform.
2
.. Do.not.swim.under.or.around.swim.platform.
.. Do.not.swim.in.the.vicinity.of.the.exhaust.outlet.

Q. Running of Engines in Idle
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.
R. Altitude and Sea Conditions
Figure B-14: Exhaust Gas Accumulation
at Swim Platform
Operation.at.altitudes.greater.than.5,000.feet.con-
tributes to inefficient engine performance and may
require.adjustments.to.the.ignition.systems,.fuel.
systems,.or.changing.the.propeller’s.size.or.gear.ratio.
M. Dangerous Activity -
“Teak Surfing”/“Dragging”
Do.not.sit.on,.occupy.or.hang.on.any.stern.append-
ages.(e.g.,.swim.platforms,.boarding.ladders,.etc.).
while.underway..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.B-15.
1..
Failure.to.make.adjustments.to.ignition.systems.
and/or.fuel.systems.for.altitude.conditions.may.
cause.an.increase.in.CO.production...

3..
Reduced.power.resulting.from.increased.altitude.
may.require.adjustments.to.propeller.size.
Heavy.sea.or.out.of.trim.conditions.tend.to.load.
engines.resulting.in.reduced.performance.and.
thereby.increasing.their.CO.production.
S. Portable Generator Sets
Figure B-15: Exhaust Gas Accumulation -
Dangerous Activity
Never use a portable generator on a boat.
N. Cabin Appliances
Gasoline.powered.portable.generators.are.available..
in.the.marine.market.place.and.are.not.an.option.
available.through.Four.Winns..Portable.generators..
will.produce.CO..These.sets.discharge.their.exhaust.
products.in.locations.which.can.lead.to.an.increase..
Boats.having.fuel.burning.appliances.in.accommo-
dation.areas.should.be.provided.with.adequate.
ventilation.and.the.appliance.should.be.maintained..
to.function.properly.
