Special Care for Moored Yachts
•Whether moored in saltwater or freshwater, your yacht will collect marine growth on its hull bottom.
•This will detract from your yacht’s beauty, greatly affect its performance, and may damage the gel coat.
•There are two ways to slow marine growth:
1. Periodically haul your yacht out of the water and scrub the hull bottom with a bristle brush and a solution of soap
and water.
2. Occasionally reapply the anti-fouling paint on your hull bottom. How often your hull needs new anti-fouling
paint depends on many factors. Ask your selling dealer or local marina for advice.
Sacrificial Anodes (Zincs)
Your yacht features sacrificial anodes (zincs) to protect
underwater metal parts from excessive deterioration. Check
the zincs regularly and replace them if they have deterio-
rated more than 70%.
There are many factors that affect the rate at which the zincs
deteriorate, including:
•Water temperature
•Salinity
•Water pollution
•Stray electrical current
Stray electrical current from your yacht, another boat, or the
dock may cause complete deterioration of the zincs in just a
few weeks. If there is rapid zinc deterioration, measure the
electrolytic corrosion around your yacht with a corrosion
test meter.
•Do NOT paint between the zinc and the metal surface it contacts and do NOT paint over
the zincs.
•If the zincs are not bonded correctly, they will NOT provide protection.

ing slings at the port and
starboard lifting sling
label positions, as shown
in the illustration.
PERSONAL INJURY and/or PRODUCT or PROPERTY DAMAGE HAZARD!
•Lifting slings can slip on the hull, which could cause serious injury or death.
•Reduce the risk of sling slippage by ALWAYS securing the lifting slings together
BEFORE lifting.
WARNING!
!
PERSONAL INJURY and/or PRODUCT or PROPERTY DAMAGE HAZARD!
NEVER lift your yacht using the cleats.
WARNING!
!
PERSONAL INJURY and/or PRODUCT or PROPERTY DAMAGE HAZARD!

Carbon Monoxide (CO)
CO Facts
•CO poisoning causes a significant number of boating deaths each year.
•Called the "silent killer", CO is an extremely toxic, colorless, odorless and tasteless gas.
•CO can harm or even kill you inside or outside your yacht.
•CO can affect you whether you’re underway, moored, or anchored.
•CO symptoms are similar to seasickness or alcohol intoxication.
•CO can make you sick in seconds. In high enough concentrations, even a few breaths can be fatal.
•Breathing CO blocks the ability of your blood to carry oxygen.
•The effects are cumulative. Even low levels of exposure can result in injury or death.
Factors that Increase the Effects of CO Poisoning
•Age
•Smokers or people exposed to high concentrations of cigarette smoke
•Consumption of alcohol
•Lung disorders
•Heart problems
•Pregnancy
•Carbon monoxide gas (CO) is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and extremely
dangerous.
•ALL engines, generators, and fuel burning appliances produce CO as
exhaust.
•Prolonged exposure to low concentrations or very quick exposure to high
concentrations WILL cause BRAIN DAMAGE or DEATH.
•Teak surfing, dragging, or water skiing within 20 feet of a moving water-
craft can be fatal.

Where & How CO Can Accumulate
Stationary conditions that increase CO accumulations include:
To correct stationary situations A and/or B:
•Close all windows, portlights and hatches.
•If possible, move your yacht away from source of CO.
Running conditions that increase CO accumulations include:
To correct running situations C and/or D:
•Trim bow down.
•Open windows and canvas.
•When possible, run yacht so that prevailing winds help dissipate exhaust.
How to Protect Yourself & Others From CO
•Know where and how CO may accumulate in and around your yacht (see above).
•Always maintain fresh air circulation throughout your yacht.
•Know where your engine and generator exhaust outlets are located and keep everyone away from these areas.
•Never sit on, or hang onto, the back deck or transom platform while the engines or generator are running.
•Never enter the areas under transom platforms where exhaust outlets are located.
•Although CO can be present without the smell of exhaust fumes, if exhaust fumes are detected on your yacht, take
immediate action to dissipate these fumes.
•Treat symptoms of seasickness as possible CO poisoning. Get the person into fresh air immediately. Seek medical
attention—unless you’re sure it’s not CO.
•Maintain the CO monitors that are installed inside your yacht. NEVER ignore any alarm. Replace monitors
as recommended by the monitor manufacturer.
•Follow the checklists provided on the next page.
•Get a Vessel Safety Check.
