!
DANGER!
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD!
Leaking engine and/or generator exhaust is a source of dangerous carbon
monoxide gas (CO). Check all exhaust systems before each trip.
•
Look for leaks in the exhaust systems of the propulsion engines and
the generator.
•
•
Make sure the ventilation systems work and are not obstructed or restricted.
To reduce the chance of CO entering the living spaces, fill any gaps around engine room
plumbing, cableways, exhaust systems, doors, hatches, and access panels.
Look for discoloration, water leaks, carbon or stains around all joints.
Make sure all of the exhaust clamps are in place and secured.

The exhaust system is designed to keep seawater out of the engines in most sea conditions.
However, do not anchor the stern to sea or shut the engines off if high seas might flood the exhaust system.
Always consider the sea conditions before anchoring or shutting Off the engines.
