How Can I Protect My Family from Boating Carbon Monoxide?

There are many ways to protect your family from the dangers of carbon monoxide. Here are some of the precautions a boater can take:

* Use a Marine Carbon Monoxide Detector - These detectors work much like smoke alarms in houses. They sense a moderate level of carbon monoxide present on the vessel and emit a loud siren noise to alert the occupants of the danger.

* Ensure Proper Ventilation - Open foredeck hatches and a window in the cabin to allow fresh air to travel through the vessel. Also, be aware that carbon monoxide can collect under a canopy.

* Inspect Exhaust System Regularly - Look and listen for leaks in the exhaust system. Check each joint for discoloration, water leaks, carbon build-up or stains. Make sure all ventilation systems are in good repair and are not obstructed, restricted, or punctured. Seal gaps around engine room and exhaust system doors, hatches, and access panels.

* Avoid the Transom - The transom is where carbon monoxide collects. Stay away from the transom while the vessel is idling or underway.

* Educate Children - Instruct your children about the danger and presence of carbon monoxide on vessels.

* Avoid Other Idling Vessels - Idling vessels are a very prominent source for high concentrations of carbon monoxide.
