AVOID COLLISIONS-
• Maintain lookout as required by “Rules of the Road”.
• Visibility can be limited by high boat trim angles, persons,
gear, weather and light conditions.
• At all times proceed at a Safe Speed so that you can take
proper and effective action to avoid hazardous conditions.
Such issues are considered under the control of the operator.
CARBON MONOXIDE CAN BE FATAL-
In all gasoline powered boats, engine and generator exhaust
systems produce colorless and odorless carbon monoxide gas
(“CO”). Direct prolonged exposure can result in CO poisoning
which may be harmful or FATAL. To prevent excess exposure
and reduce the possibility of accumulations of CO in the cabin
and cockpit of the boat, the operator should insure adequate
ventilation in each the cabin and cockpit areas, through
utilization of cabin hatches, cabin doors, cabin windows, cockpit
windshield windows and side windshield vents to increase air
movement through the cabin areas. The following conditions
tend to increase the accumulation of CO in and about the boat
and require the operator’s particular attention:
1. Operation at slow speeds or dead in water.
2. Operation with a high bow angle attitude.
3. Utilization of canvas tops, side curtains and back
curtains.
4. Contributing climatic conditions, such as a head wind.
5. Operation of engines and/or generator in confined
spaces or a dockside.
6. Any blockage of hull exhaust outlets.
Indications of excessive exposure to CO concentrations may include
nausea, dizziness, and drowsiness.
