A. Drugs and Alcohol
Never disarm a CO detector. If a CO detec-
tor alarms, immediately ventilate the area and
check passengers for symptoms of CO intoxi-
cation. See your Four Winns dealer for assis-
tance in diagnosing the cause for the alarm.
Alcohol consumption and boating do not
mix! Operating under the influence endan-
gers the lives of your passengers and
other boaters. Federal laws prohibit
operating a boat under the influence of
alcohol or drugs.
