mc79553-1<br />

insufficient ventilation may draw in carbon monoxide. Install one or more carbon monoxide<br />
detectors in your boat.<br />
Although the occurrence is rare, on a very calm day, swimmers and passengers in an open<br />
area of a stationary boat that contains or is near an operating engine may be exposed to<br />
a hazardous level of carbon monoxide.<br />
