Special Care For Moored Boats
• Whether moored in saltwater or freshwater, your boat will collect marine growth on its hull bottom.
• This will detract from the boat’s beauty, greatly affect its performance and may damage the gel coat.
• Periodically haul the boat out of the water and scrub the hull bottom with a bristle brush and a solution of soap
and water.
• To help seal the hull bott om and reduce the possibility of gel coat blistering on moored
boats, apply an epoxy barrier coating .
• The barrier coating should be cover ed wi th se veral coat s of anti -f ouli ng paint.
• Many states regulate the chemical co ntent of bottom paints in order to meet env ironmental
standards. Check with your local deale r about recommended bottom paints, and about the
laws in effect in your area.
NOTICE
Chapter 1: Welcome Aboard!

Safety Standards
• Your boat’s mechanical and electrical systems were designed to meet safety standards in effect at the time it
was built.
• Some of these standards we re mandated by law, and all of them were designed to i nsu re your safe ty and t he saf ety
of other people, vessels and property.
In addition to this Supplement, please read the Cruiser & Yacht Owner’s Manual and all accessory instructions for
important safety standards and hazard information.

Carbon Monoxide (CO)
CO Facts
• CO poisoning causes a significant number of boating deaths each year.
• Called the "silent killer", CO is an extremely toxic, colorless, odorless and tasteless gas.
• CO can harm or even kill you inside or outside your boat.
• CO can affect you whether you’re underway, moored, or anchored.
• CO symptoms are similar to seasickness or alcohol intoxication.
• CO can make you sick in seconds. In high enough concentrations, even a few breaths can be fatal.
• Breathing CO blocks the ability of your blood to carry oxygen.
• The effects are cumulative. Even low levels of exposure can result in injury or death.
Factors that Increase the Effects of CO Pois oning
• Age
• Smokers or people exposed to high concentrations of cigarette smoke
• Consumption of alcohol
• Lung disorders
• Heart problems
• Pregnancy
• Carbon monoxide gas (CO) is colorless, odorless, t asteless, and
extremely dangerous.
• ALL engines, generators, and f uel burning appliances produce CO
as exhaust.
• Prolonged exposure to low conce ntra tions or very quick exposure to high
concentrations WILL cause BRAIN DAMAGE or DEATH.
• Teak surfing, dragging, or water skii ng wit hin 20 feet of a moving water-
craft can be fatal.

Where and How CO Can Accumulate
Stati onary Conditions That Increase CO Accumulations Include:
To correct stat ionary situations A and/or B:
• Close all windows, portlights and hatches.
• If possible, move your boat away from source of CO.
Running Conditions That Increase CO Accumulations Include:
To correct running situations C and/or D:
• Trim bow down.
• Open windows and canvas.
• When possible, run boat so that prevailing winds help dissipate exhaust.
How to Protect Yourself and O thers From CO
• Know where and how CO may accumulate in and around your boat (see above).
• Maintain fresh air circulation throughout the boat at all times.
• Know where your engine and generator exhaust outlets are located and keep everyone away from these areas.
• Never sit on, or hang onto, the back deck or swim platform while the engine is running.
• Never enter the areas under swim platforms where exhaust outlets are located.
• Although CO can be present without the smell of exhaust fumes, if exhaust fumes are detected on the boat, take
immediate action to dissipate these fumes.
• Treat sympt oms of se asick ness as possib le CO pois oning. Get the pe rson into f resh a ir immediately. Seek medical
attention—unless you’re sure it’s not CO.
• Install and maintain CO monitors i nside yo ur boat. Never igno re any alarm. Rep lace mon itors as r ecommended by
the monitor manufacturer.
• Follow the checklists provided on the next page.
• Get a Vessel Safety Check.

free of kinks.
Annual Checklist
Have a Qualified Marine Technician:
❏ Replace exhaust hoses if cracking, charring, or deterioration is found.
❏ Ensure that your engines and generators are properly tuned, and well maintained.
❏ Inspect each water pump impeller and the water pump housing. Replace if worn. Make sure cooling systems are
in working condition.
❏ Inspect all meta llic exhaust components for cracking, rusting , leaking, or loosening. Make sure they check the
cylinder head gasket, exhaust manifold, water inje ct ion elbow, and the threaded ada pt er ni pple between the manifold and the elbow.
❏ Clean, inspect, and confirm proper operation of the generator cooling water anti-siphon valve (if equipped).
