O2 Poison

[aww]

I recently test drove a Moomba makai and sat near back, when I got off I had O2 Poisoning symptoms and my doctor says I most likely had O2 poisoning and am wondering if anyone else has experienced that.

O2 is good. CO is bad. There are labels in all newer indicating the hazard. A couple of years ago, I assisted in the recovery of two adults overcome by CO sitting on the swim platform. Know the risks, the signs of poisoning and recovery methods.

What speeds, where exactly were you sitting and for how long?

This is a good video for understanding where it tends to accumulate....

Hak,

Thanks for sharing that video. I always understood the station wagon effect, but I need to tighten up my game with the boat idling in neutral as a rider is getting into their boots and I am hooking up the rope etc.

I learned something, thanks!!!

This is a great video, thanks. That's it, I'm sold. I'm just hesitant to invest in the aftermarket FAE as I've seen a lot of complaints of the weld cracking and leaking. Has anyone tried to have the OEM FAE purchased through skiers choice and have it installed? That would be my preference. Then its under warranty against failure.

I agree that is a great video, and I do have FAE coming on my April delivery....

But... Keep in mind that the boat in the video has a Pre Catalytic Converter motor. Having a newer engine equipped with a CC is going to substantially reduce the ppm of Co in the air in all situations.

Totally agree.

I was just making the point that levels of Co in a newer boat will almost always be significantly less than in the video.

I also need to improve on my idling tendency when people are at the transom.

I would be curious to know how many serious to know how many serious Co incidents happen every year on modern cat equipped boats. Don’t get me wrong, one is too many, but I bet It’s an extremely rare occurrence.

OP had a significant incident on a brand new Makai. Tells me all I need to know.

OP thinks he had an incident. Dr said is sounded like he had an incident.

So, possible incident.

That being said, it’s pretty rare. But possible.
