How to Protect Yourself and Others
Following these simple steps to help
keep CO from poisoning you, your passen-
gers and others nearby:
Know where and how CO may accu-
mulate in and around your boat. This
is particularly important when starting
or running engines in boathouses, or
near a sea wall. Boats that are moored
in close proximity are also potential
problems as the fumes from your boat
or another boat can affect air drafts on
all boats. Back drafting (sometimes
called the “station wagon effect” occurs
when the fumes curl up over the swim
platform and transom and into the boat,
especially when canvas or other cover-
ings can trap the fumes. Even in open
air, consider wind direction, the boat’s
speed and trim angles.
Maintain fresh air circulation through-
out the boat at all times. CO is in greater
concentration when the engine is cold so
ensure that the boat is situated to take
advantage of maximum dissipation of
fumes.
If your boat is equipped with a genera-
tor, know where the exhaust outlet(s) is
located and keep everyone away from
the area.
Ensure that all appliances, air condition-
ing, heater, generator, or other on-board
function that emits fumes are routinely
and regularly provided with mainte-
nance as described by those manufac-
turers. Failure to do so can result in the
accumulation of CO fumes.
Never sit, teak surf, or hang on the back
deck or swim platform while the engine
is running. Teak surng is NEVER a
safe activity.
Never move into areas under swim plat-
forms where exhaust outlets are located
unless the area has been properly venti-
lated.
Operation of boats at mile-high (5,250
ft.) or higher altitudes may affect CO
production. Check with an authorized
MasterCraft dealer before operating at
higher altitudes to determine whether
the engine may require additional tun-
ing to prevent excessive CO.
Although CO can be present without
the smell of exhaust fumes, if you smell
exhaust fumes, CO is also present. Take
immediate action to dissipate these
fumes.
Treat symptoms of seasickness as pos-
sible CO poisoning. Get the person(s)
into fresh air immediately. Seek medical
attention.
Install and maintain CO alarms inside
your boat. Do not ignore any alarm.
Replace alarms as recommended by the
alarm manufacturer.
Follow Coast Guard safety checklists.
Get a Vessel Safety Check. They are
free! Your local U.S. Coast Guard Aux-
iliary can provide details or check www.
uscgaux.org online to locate assistance.
