How should fuel-burning appliances be used on a boat?

  1. Without any specific precautions

  2. Only with windows and doors closed

  3. Only in a well-ventilated area, according to manufacturer's instructions

  4. Using any DIY setup

The correct answer is: Only in a well-ventilated area, according to manufacturer's instructions

Fuel-burning appliances, such as stoves and heaters, should be used carefully and only in a well-ventilated area on a boat. This means having proper air flow and ventilation to prevent the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. Option A is incorrect because it does not account for the potential danger of carbon monoxide buildup. Option B is also incorrect because closing windows and doors could inhibit proper ventilation. Option D is incorrect because DIY setups may not be safe or in accordance with manufacturer's instructions.
