1. Gaskets at cylinder head connection
2. Check gaskets and sealing surfaces on hatches,
doors, and access panels.

Casting and pipe fittings in the dry section
Y. Maintenance - Liquid Drains

All joints
Sink, shower and condensate drains can be a source
of CO ingress. Ensure that water traps are present
and contain fluid. These traps may be in the form of a
double loop in the drain line or prefabricated p-traps.
Any drain that terminates below the waterline is,
by virtue of its design, sealed against CO intrusion.
Some drains that are below the waterline when boat is
underway will be above the waterline when the boat is
at rest. The location of drains, relative to the waterline,
can be affected by the dynamics of boat motion
(i.e., underway or at rest).

W. Maintenance - Ventilation Systems
Boats are equipped with ventilation systems to elimi-
nate gasoline vapors. Blowers and fans may also be
provided for ventilation and to mitigate the migration of
CO into occupied compartments. Attention should be
paid to the following:
B - 3 SAFE BOATING PRACTICES
NOTICE
YOU are responsible for your own safety, the
safety of your passengers, and the safety of
fellow boaters.
1.
2.
3.
Keeping ventilation intakes clear of debris
Replacing damaged hardware
A. Drugs and Alcohol
Maintaining the integrity of the ducting material
and its connections
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.
4.
5.
Ensuring that position of ducting intake is not
obstructed or restricted, collapsed, kinked,
or crushed
Eliminating sags in ducting that can form
a water trap
Do not use drugs or drink alcohol while operating a
boat. Like driving a car, driving a boat requires sober,
attentive care. Operating a boat while intoxicated or
under the influence of drugs is not only dangerous,
but it is also a Federal offense carrying a significant
penalty. These laws are vigorously enforced. The
use of drugs and alcohol, singly or in combination,
decreases reaction time, impedes judgement, impairs
vision, and inhibits your ability to operate a boat.

Checking hangers and other supports
Ensuring blower/fan is operational
Ensuring that airflow is present at discharge
Inspecting wiring to equipment
X. Maintenance - Bulkhead and Deck Integrity
B. Safe Operation
1.
Seal all visible openings (e.g., cracks, crevices,
holes, including openings around wiring and pip-
ing runs) in bulkheads and decks that separate
machinery compartments from occupied compart-
ments. These openings can permit migration of
CO vapors.
Safe operation means that you do not misuse your
boat nor do you allow your passengers to do so. Safe
operation means using good judgement at all times.
It includes, without limitation, the following actions:
