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 the yacht’s beauty, greatly affect its performance and may damage the gelcoat.
•There are two methods of slowing marine growth:
1. Periodically haul the yacht out of the water and scrub the hull bottom with a bristle brush and a solution of soap
and water.
2. Occasionally re-paint the hull below the waterline with a good grade of anti-fouling paint.
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 from the yacht or dock may cause
complete deterioration in just a few weeks. If there is
rapid zinc deterioration, measure the electrolytic corro-
sion around your yacht with a corrosion test meter.
•To help seal the hull bottom and reduce the possibility ofgelcoat blistering on moored boats,
apply an epoxy barrier coating. The barrier coating should be covered with several coats of
anti-fouling paint.
•Many states regulate the chemical content of bottom paints in order to meet environmental
standards. Check with your local dealer about recommended bottom paints, and about the
laws in effect in your area.
NOTICE
•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.

Carbon Monoxide (CO)
Facts about CO
•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
watercraft can be fatal.
DANGER!

Where and 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 and Others From CO
•Know where and how CO may accumulate in and around your yacht (see above).
•Maintain fresh air circulation throughout the yacht at all times.
•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 swim platform while the engines are running.
•Never enter the areas under swim platforms where exhaust outlets are located.
•Although CO can be present without the smell of exhaust fumes, if exhaust fumes are detected on the 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.
•Install and maintain CO alarms inside your yacht. Do not ignore any alarm. Replace alarms as recommended by
the alarm manufacturer.
•Follow the checklists provided on the next page.
•Get a Vessel Safety Check.
For information on how to get a free VESSEL SAFETY CHECK, visit www.vesselsafetycheck.org or contact your
local U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary or United States Power Squadrons®.
