WEATHER COVERS
O - 1 GENERAL INFORMATION
NOTICE
NEVER fold or store a wet weather cover. This
can lead to mildew or shrinkage. Roll rather
than fold the enclosure curtains. Sharp folds
increase the chance of cracking the clear vinyl.
Weather covers for the cockpit areas are available on all
Candia FS models. Four Winns® covers are designed
and intended to provide protection of the cockpit seating
areas.
NOTICE
Four Winns® utilizes acrylic-type material for all its cov-
ers. All Sport Boat canvas except mooring covers con-
sist of 100% acrylic material and is color matched to the
boat. The mooring covers are made of 10 ounce acrylic
and come in dark tan (mica) only.
DO NOT use the weather covers during out-
door winter storage. The weight of the snow or
heavy rain can cause severe damage to the
material or top structure. Refer to O-3 Winter
Storage in this manual for more information.
When snapping covers to the boat, apply direct down-
ward pressure on the snap. When unsnapping, rotate
the snap and cover upward at each snap location.
Never use any form of open flame cooking de-
vice while under, in any area fully enclosed, or
near any acrylic weather cover. This material is
flammable.
NOTICE
Remove snaps one at a time to prevent dam-
age. DO NOT rip off or pull the weather cover
as a whole; acrylic material may tear at snaps.
During the manufacture of the weather covers, the small-
est possible needle and highest quality UV stabilized,
bonded polyester thread is used in the stitching.
