This happened last week and they just now posted the cause. Remember to check your exhaust symptoms and get a monitor in your boat.

Animals probably chewed the hole, investigators say.
Investigators said Friday that the 7-year-old girl who died from carbon monoxide poisoning on a Lake Minnetonka boat earlier this week had been resting in the boat’s cabin where there was a hole in the exhaust pipe.
The Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office said Friday that the hole was underneath the mattress area in the lower cabin area and was likely caused by animals chewing through the pipe. Sophia Baechler, 7, of Edina had gone below deck to rest because she wasn’t feeling well, the Sheriff’s Office said, and was found “in distress” about 10 minutes later.
Wayzata police responded to the family’s boat as it docked into Wayzata Bay on Sunday and found the boat occupants giving the girl CPR. She died at Hennepin County Medical Center in Minneapolis.
The Hennepin County medical examiner confirmed Wednesday that Baechler died of carbon monoxide poisoning and ruled the death an accident.
