Personal Watercraft Insurance, Preventing Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
Thursday, Sep. 4th 2014 8:30 AM
It is important to Turn off your engine when there are people in the water, especially when they’re using the rear swimming deck of your boat. Teak surfing, or holding onto the back deck of a boat while it is moving, can expose people in the water to dangerous and even fatal levels of carbon monoxide. A swimmer exposed to carbon monoxide from your engine could pass out and drown before anyone notices.
