Special Care For Moored Yachts
• Whether moored in saltwater or freshwater, your yacht will collect marine growth on its hull bottom.
• This will detract from the yacht’s beauty, greatly affect its performance and may damage the gelcoat.
• There are two methods of slowing marine growth:
1. Peri odi cal l y haul the yacht out of the water and scrub the hull b ott om with a bristle brush an d a s olution of soap
and water.
2. Occasionally re-paint the hull below the waterline with a good grade of anti-fouling paint.
Sacrificial Anodes (Zinc s)
Your yacht features sacrificia l anodes (zincs) to protect
underwater metal parts from ex cessi ve deter iora tion. Che ck
the zincs regularly and replace them if they have deteriorated more th an 70%.
There are many factors that affect the rate at which the zin cs
deteriorate, including:
• Water temperature
• Salinity
• Water pollution
• Stray electri cal current from the yacht o r dock may cause
complete d eterioration in just a few weeks. If there is
rapid zinc deterioration, measure the electrolytic corrosion around your yacht with a corrosion test meter.
• T o he lp seal the hull botto m and r educe the po ssibility of gelcoat blistering o n moor ed boats,
apply an epoxy barrier coating. The barrier coating should be cover ed with several coats of
anti-fouling paint.
• Many states regulate the chemic al content of bottom paints in order to me et env ironmental
standards. Check with your local deale r about recommended bottom paints, and about the
laws in effect in your area.
NOTICE
• Do NOT paint between the zinc and the metal sur face it contacts and do NOT paint over
the zincs.
• If the zincs are NOT bonded correctly, they will NOT provide protection.

Carbon Monoxide (CO)
Facts about CO
• 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 yacht.
• 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 Poisoning
• 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, odo rle ss, t aste les s, and
extremely dangerous.
• All engines, gene rato rs, and f uel burning appliances produce CO
as exhaust.
• Prolonged exposure to l ow conce ntrations or very quick exposur e to high
concentrations will cause BRAIN DAMAGE or DEATH.
• Teak surfing, dragging, or water skiing within 20 feet of a moving
watercraft can be fata l.

Where and How CO Can Accumulate
Stationary Conditions That Increase CO Accumulations Include:
To correct stationary situations A and/or B:
• Close all windows, portlights and hatches.
• If possible, move your yacht 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 yacht so that prevailing winds help dissipate exhaust.
How to Protect Yourself and Ot hers From CO
• Know where and how CO may accumulate in and around your yacht (see above).
• Maintain fresh air circulation throughout the yacht 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 engines are 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 yacht, take
immediate action to dissipate these fumes.
• Treat symptoms of seasi ckness as poss ible CO po isoni ng. Get th e perso n in to fre sh air immediately. Seek medical
attention—unless you’re sure it’s not CO.
• Install and maintain CO alarms insid e your yacht. Do not ignore any alarm. Replace alarms as recommended by
the alarm manufacturer.
• Follow the checklists provided on the next page.
• Get a Vessel Safety Check.
For information on how to get a free VESSEL SAFETY CHECK, visit www.vesselsafetycheck.org or contact your
local U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary or United States Power Squadrons®.
• U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary: 1-800-368-5647 or on the Internet at: http://www.cgaux.org

Trip Checklist
❏ Educate all passengers about the symptoms of CO poisoning and where CO may accumulate.
❏ When docked, or rafted with another boat, be aware of exhaust emissions from the other boats.
❏ Make sure you know where the exhaust outlets are located on your yacht.
❏ Confirm that water flows from the exhaust outlets when the engines and gen erator are started.
❏ Listen for any change in exhaust sound, which could indicate an exhaust component failure.
❏ Test the operation of each CO alarm by pressing the test button.
Monthly Checklist
❏ Make sure all exhaust clamps are in place and secure.
❏ Look for exhaust leaking from exhaust system components. Signs include rust and/or black streaking, water
leaks, or corroded or cracked fittings.
❏ Inspect rubber exh aust h ose s for burne d, cra cked, o r det erior ated secti ons. All ru bber hoses shoul d be pliable and
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 metallic exhaust components for cracking, rusting, leaking, or loosening. Make sure they check the
cylinder head gasket, exhaust manifold, water injection elbow, and the threaded adapter nipple between the
manifold a nd the elbow.
❏ Clean, inspect, and confirm proper operation of the generator cooling water anti-siphon valve (if equipped).
Carbon Monoxide Alarm System
• NEVER disconnec t the alarm sy stem.
• Read and understand the manufacturer’s instructions for your CO alarm system. If you did not receive an instruc-
tion manual, call (800) 383-0269 and one will be mailed to you.
DANGER
CARBON MONOXID E POISON ING HAZARD!
• The house battery switch must be in the On position for the CO Monitors
to work.
• If your yacht will be unattende d for an exte nded period of time, tur n Off the
house battery switch or the CO Monitors wi ll d rain t h e hous e batt ery.
• Immediately turn the house battery swit ch back On when yo u reboard
