What should you do to help prevent carbon monoxide poisoning?

  1. Keep the boat stationary

  2. Keep air flowing through the vessel

  3. Avoid wearing life jackets

  4. Use the same fuel every trip

The correct answer is: Keep air flowing through the vessel

To prevent carbon monoxide poisoning, the most important step to take is to keep air flowing through the vessel. This is because carbon monoxide is a colorless and odorless gas that can accumulate in closed spaces, such as a boat, and can become dangerous if not ventilated properly. Keeping the boat stationary (option A) does not necessarily prevent carbon monoxide from accumulating. Avoiding wearing life jackets (option C) is not a helpful action and can actually increase the risk of drowning. Using the same fuel every trip (option D) does not affect the presence of carbon monoxide. It is important to always take measures to ensure proper ventilation to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.
