Fresh Air Exhaust (FAE) comment:
The Center for Disease Control - U.S. Coast Guard report states that CO concentrations
at 5 mph were "mixed". In the report, in the analysis of FAE performance
at 5 mph, there was one reading inside the boat that showed an increase from
8.1 ppm without FAE to 10 ppm with FAE installed. This "increase"
is less than 2 ppm and is within the range of meter drift (error). This report
also noted an increase in CO concentrations at 10 foot behind the boat at 5
mph. This is congruent with our claims of moving the exhaust away from the boat
once the propeller is spinning forward.
It is also reported that at 5 mph there was a decrease of the mean CO concentration
from 47 ppm to 25 ppm (a reduction of 46%) and a decrease of the peak CO concentration
from 1,137 ppm to 267 ppm ( a reduction of 76%).
FAE does not see this as "mixed" but a clear demonstration
that FAE reduces CO concentrations significantly once the boat is placed into
forward gear.
