2470 WALKAROUND

Remember, carbon monoxide detectors do not guarantee that CO poisoning will not occur. Do

not use the CO detector as a replacement for ordinary precautions or periodic inspections of

equipment.

Never rely on alarm systems to save your life, common sense is still prudent and necessary.

Please read the owner’s manual supplied by the CO detector manufacturer and included with this

manual, for operation instructions and additional information regarding the hazards of carbon

monoxide gas. Refer to the Ventilation Chapter for information on ventilating your boat properly

while underway and other precautions while at anchor or in a slip. This is especially essential if

your boat is equipped with a generator. The book entitled “Sportfish, Cruisers, Yachts,” included

with this manual, also has additional information and cautions regarding carbon monoxide

poisoning.

Many manufacturers of carbon monoxide detectors offer a testing and recertification program.

We recommend that you contact the manufacturer of your carbon monoxide detector and have it

tested and recertified periodically.

ACTUATION OF THE CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR INDICATES THE PRES-

ENCE OF CARBON MONOXIDE (CO) WHICH CAN BE FATAL. EVACUATE THE

CABIN IMMEDIATELY. DO A HEAD COUNT TO CHECK THAT ALL PERSONS

ARE ACCOUNTED FOR. DO NOT REENTER THE CABIN UNTIL IT HAS BEEN

AIRED OUT AND THE PROBLEM FOUND AND CORRECTED.

9.7 First Aid

It is the operator's responsibility to be familiar with the proper

first-aid procedures and be able to care for minor injuries or

illnesses of your passengers. In an emergency, you could be

far from professional medical assistance. We strongly recom-

mend that you be prepared by receiving training in basic first

aid and CPR. This can be done through classes given by the

Red Cross or your local hospital.

Your boat should also be equipped with at least a simple marine first-aid kit and a first-aid manual.

The marine first-aid kit should be designed for the marine environment and be well supplied. It

should be accessible and each person on board should be aware of its location. As supplies are

used, replace them promptly. Some common drugs and antiseptics may lose their strength or

become unstable as they age. Ask a medical professional about the supplies you should carry and

the safe shelf life of prescription drugs or other medical supplies that may be in your first-aid kit.

Replace questionably old supplies whether they have been used or not.
