Boat safety apparatus and method therefor

Abstract

An apparatus and method for quickly reducing and/or stopping human carbon monoxide exposure and/or inhalation in connection with the operation of a gas powered boat. The present invention may be adapted to a wide variety of boats, new or used, wherever carbon monoxide is produced in connection with the operation of a boat. In addition to swim steps, ladders, sun decks, platforms and swim platforms, the present invention may be adapted to virtually any form of device on a boat where carbon monoxide and one or more humans may be present.

1 . A Boat Safety Apparatus And Method Therefor comprising: 
 a means for human interaction; and    a means for disassociating human contact.    
   
   
       2 . A Boat Safety Apparatus And Method Therefor comprising: 
 a means for detecting human interaction;    a means for human interaction; and    a means for signaling a boat's carbon monoxide producing engine.    
   
   
       3 . A Boat Safety Apparatus And Method Therefor as claimed in  claim 2 , further comprising: 
 a means for disassociating human contact.    
   
   
       4 . A Boat Safety Apparatus And Method Therefor comprising the acts of: 
 detecting the interaction of one or more humans with a tangible object located on a boat where the presence of potentially harmful levels of carbon monoxide may be found;    signaling said boat's carbon monoxide producing engine; and    rendering said carbon monoxide producing engine to a state wherein said carbon monoxide production is reduced and/or terminated.    
   
   
       5 . A Boat Safety Apparatus And Method Therefor as claimed in  claim 4 , further comprising the act of: 
 disassociating the contact of said one or more humans with said tangible object.
