Answer:

Risk of carbon monoxide poisoning

Step-by-step explanation:

Sitting on at the rear swim step of a motorized boat(motorized vessel) could cause carbon monoxide poisoning since this is where the engine gives off carbon monoxide into the atmosphere. It is therefore not advisable to sit in this part of the boat.
