Carbon Monoxide (CO) -ANSWER It is an invisible, odorless, tasteless gas that is
produced when a carbon-based fuel burns.

Never enter areas under swim platforms where exhaust outlets are located—even for a

rear deck. Stay 20 feet from other boats so you don't inhale its CO.

Early symptoms of CO poisoning include irritated eyes, headache, nausea, weakness,
and dizziness.

White marker with red vertical stripes -ANSWER safe water on all sides

Green & Red Buoy (Green on top)(Red on top) -ANSWER These are placed at the
junction of two channels to indicate the preferred (primary) channel when a channel
splits.
If green is on top, the preferred channel is to the right.
If red is on top, the preferred channel is to the left.

Where do you anchor a boat? -ANSWER Lower anchor over the bow (never the stern)

Which Boats Require Registration? -ANSWER All powered vessels (including PWC/jet

electric motor and vessels 12 feet long or longer with less than 10 horsepower

Effects of drinking alcohol on a boat -ANSWER Drinking 1 beer on a boat is the
