The two men were found unconscious on the morning of January 12 in the cockpit of the 5.5m motorboat after exhaust fumes containing odourless carbon monoxide (CO) were funnelled into the covered cockpit, the MAIB said in its recent report.

The owner of Emma Louse, William Traynor, 44, and his brother-in-law Martin Steventon, 39, both from Slough, had intended to stay overnight on the boat, moored at a pontoon in the marina. They had switched the engine on around 1700 on 11 January and left the engine running, likely to maintain power to some of the boat’s systems.
