Abstract:

Tests were run to measure the concentrations of carbon monoxide that accumulate in the

passenger spaces of two recreational power boats during routine cruising operations.

Results indicate that during certain phases of operation, carbon monoxide from the

exhaust of the primary propulsion engines of the power boats can intrude into passenger

spaces. The carbon monoxide can build up to significantly high levels to pose a health

and safety threat to power boat passengers and crew. The accumulation of carbon

monoxide in the passenger spaces during operation was closely related to the

characteristics of the air flow about the boat (a combination of boat speed wind and

true wind). The boats tested were twin-engined cruisers with engine exhaust exits

located on the sides of the boat at the water line.
