§ 5.2321.
The month of April is designated as “Powerboat Safety Month” to emphasize the dangers
of carbon monoxide poisoning that can occur on a powerboat. During the month of April, or more often as determined by the director of natural
resources, the department of natural resources shall disseminate information to the
public about all of the following: (A) Carbon monoxide is colorless, odorless, and deadly. (B) Gasoline-powered engines on boats, including onboard generators, produce carbon monoxide,
which may poison or kill a person who breathes in too much of it. (C) Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning are flu-like, so they often go unheeded until
it is too late. (D) It is advised that a powerboat owner install and maintain a working carbon monoxide
detector on the owner's boat. (E) A powerboat owner should keep carbon monoxide from accumulating at deadly concentrations
and make sure that outlets are never blocked. (F) A powerboat owner should always dock, beach, or anchor at least twenty feet from
the nearest boat that is running a generator or engine. (G) Open air boating may reduce, but does not eliminate, the risk of carbon monoxide
poisoning and death.
