The following are standard whistle signals:
B - 2    CARBON MONOXIDE
Carbon Monoxide!
•  One Prolonged Blast = Warning Signal
•  One Short Blast = Pass on my Port Side
•  Two Short Blasts.= Pass on my Starboard Side
•  Three Short Blasts = Engines in Reverse
•  Five or More Blasts = Danger Signal
Carbon monoxide (CO) can be harmful or fatal
if inhaled. Brain damage or death can result
from prolonged exposure to carbon monoxide.
Keep exhaust outlets clear of blockage. Provide
adequate ventilation. Open hatches, doors,
windows and vents to insure adequate
ventilation. Close engine compartment doors
and hatches when engine or generator is
running. Avoid operating the boat for extended
periods of time at idle speed, and be sensitive
to weather conditions that may prevent CO
from dissipating into the air. Do not stand or
swim near engine or generator exhausts when
engines are running.
I.
Navigation Lights
Navigation lights are intended to keep other vessels

variables (e.g., boat geometry, hatch, window and
door opening, ventilation openings, proximity to other
structures, swim platforms, canvas enclosures,
location of exhaust outlets, vessel attitude, wind
direction, vessel speed, boat systems maintenance,
etc.) The technical information included in this section
is to inform the boat owner of possible cause and
effects of carbon monoxide exposure. This information
