There have been incidents reported involving generators on houseboats, where people were swimming near the gen exhaust, suffered carbon-monoxide poisoning, lost consciousness and drowned. If I recall correctly, in one instance, there were two or three victims.
This is about as likely as someone dying from CO poisoning while mowing their lawn.
Ummmm,,,, I don't have the time to research it but, I thought I heard of something similar. Except what I heard was the people would drown because you did not shut the boat engine off while they were swimming behind the boat.
I think that one is actually true. I seem to remember reading it in a safety manual when I first got my boat.
