with navigation markers and stay within marked boundaries and
clear of hazards.
Carbon Monoxide
Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a colorless and odorless gas
produced by all engines and fuel burning appliances. Even
with the best boat design and construction, plus the
utmost care in inspection, operation and maintenance, hazardous
levels of CO may still be present in occupied spaces under certain
conditions.
Have a suspected CO victim deeply breathe fresh air and
immediately seek medical attention.
