B. Starting
Passengers seated in the bow area should not
obstruct the driver’s vision.
To prevent excessive exposure and reduce
the possibility of carbon monoxide accumu-
lation in the cockpit areas of the boat, the
operator should provide adequate ventilation
in each of these areas. Utilize hatches, doors,
windows and side vents to increase air move-
ment. See Section B- for information about
the dangers of Carbon Monoxide.
