2470 WALKAROUND

too intense to fight, abandoning the boat may be your only option. If you find yourself in this

situation, make sure all passengers have a live preserver on and go over the side and swim well

upwind of the boat. This will keep you and your passengers well clear of any burning fuel that

could be released and spread on the water as the boat burns or in the event of an explosion. When

clear of the danger, check about and account for all those who were aboard with you. Give

whatever assistance you can to anyone in need or in the water without a buoyant device. Keep

everyone together in a group for morale and to aid rescue operations.

GASOLINE CAN EXPLODE. IN THE EVENT OF A FUEL COMPARTMENT OR

BILGE FIRE, YOU MUST MAKE THE DIFFICULT DECISION TO FIGHT THE FIRE

OR ABANDON THE BOAT. YOU MUST CONSIDER YOUR SAFETY, THE SAFETY

OF YOUR PASSENGERS, THE INTENSITY OF THE FIRE AND THE POSSIBILITY

OF AN EXPLOSION IN YOUR DECISION.

Sound Signaling Devices

The navigation rules require sound signals to be made under certain circumstances. Recreational

vessels are also required to sound fog signals during periods of reduced visibility. Therefore, you

must have some means of making an efficient sound signal that is audible for .5 nautical miles.

Navigation Lights

Recreational boats are required to display navigation lights between sunset and sunrise and other

periods of reduced visibility (fog, rain, haze, etc.) Navigation lights are intended to keep other

vessels informed of your presence and course. Your Pursuit is equipped with the navigation lights

required by the U.S. Coast Guard at the time of manufacture. It is up to you to make sure they

are operational and turned on when required.

9.6 Carbon Monoxide Detector

CARBON MONOXIDE IS A LETHAL, TOXIC GAS

THAT IS COLORLESS AND ODORLESS. IT IS A

DANGEROUS GAS THAT WILL CAUSE DEATH IN

CERTAIN LEVELS.

The carbon monoxide detector is in the cabin and warns the

occupants of dangerous accumulations of carbon monoxide gas. If

excess carbon monoxide fumes are detected, the monitor will sound

an alarm indicating the presence of the toxic gas.

Should a very high level of carbon monoxide exist, the alarm will

sound in a few minutes. However, if small quantities of CO are present or high levels are short-

lived, the alarm will accumulate the information and determine when an alarm level has been

reached. The carbon monoxide detector is automatically activated whenever the cabin DC

breaker panel is energized.
