It might help a little as it's disrupting the atmosphere around the stern of the boat but it won't prevent it totally.How tragic.. like skibum said what other precautions can be taken?
I always leave my blower running. Will that prevent any CO from entering the cockpit?
Makes me want to mount a CO detector or two in the cockpit. I wonder if using them in an open air environment shortens their lifespan, and how long it takes before they become ineffective? No sense installing them if they only last a couple of weeks.

The best thing is not to run at very slow speeds for long periods of time and keep the bow down. Keeping the bow up will actually make it worse. When rafted up, a fan (or cockpit A/C, if you're lucky enough to have it) can help if you're moving air from the front of the boat toward the rear. If you're running down the water at cruising speed, there's little to worry about unless you're riding on the swim platform - which is illegal in most places.
