2002-2008 Four Winns Vista 378 Boat Owners Manual

A.   Drugs and Alcohol
CO monitors should be professionally installed
and calibrated.  Failure to do so may result in
the improper function of the CO detector.
Alcohol consumption  and boating do  not
mix! Operating under the influence endan-
gers the lives of your passengers and other
boaters.  Federal laws prohibit operating a
boat  under  the  influence   of  alcohol  or
drugs.
Never disarm a CO detector. If a CO detector
alarms,  immediately  ventilate  the area  and
check passengers for symptoms of CO intoxi-
cation.  See your Four Winns dealer for assis-
tance in diagnosing the cause for the alarm.
Do not use drugs or drink alcohol while operating a boat.
Like driving a car, driving a boat requires sober, atten-
tive care.  Operating a boat while intoxicated or under
the influence of drugs is not only  dangerous, but it  is
also a  Federal offense carrying a  significant penalty.
These laws are vigorously enforced. The use of drugs
and alcohol, singly or in combination, decreases reac-
tion time, impedes judgement,  impairs vision, and in-
hibits your ability to operate a boat.
NOTICE
For information on CO Detection Systems, see
American  Boat  and  Yacht  Council   (ABYC
Manual) Section A-24, “Carbon Monoxide De-
tectors”.
Even with the best of boat design and construction plus
utmost care in inspection, operation, and maintenance
of boat systems,  hazardous levels of CO  may still be
present in accommodation spaces  and exterior areas
under certain conditions.   Vigilant observation of  pas-
sengers for CO sickness symptoms should be supple-
mented by a marine CO detection device in the accom-
modation space.
B.   Safe  Operation
Safe operation means that you do not misuse your boat
nor do you allow your passengers to do so.   Safe op-
eration means using  good judgement at  all times.  It
includes, without limitation, the following actions:
Observe all safety signs and warnings both
inside the boat and in the immediate boating
area.
NOTICE
ACO detector is not a gas/fuel vapor detector.
Gas/fuel vapor  detectors do  not monitor  the
buildup of  carbon  monoxide in  an enclosed
area.   For further information  on the design,
construction, and testing of boats in consider-
ation of carbon monoxide, see ABYC TH-23.
Become familiar with, and adhere to, the
“Rules of the Road”.
Maintain boat speed at or below the legal
limits.  Avoid excessive speed or speeds
not  appropriate  for  operating  conditions.
NOTICE
Detectiondevicesshouldmeettherequirements
ofABYCA-24“CarbonMonoxideDetectionSys-
tems on Boats”.
Be sure at least one other passenger is
familiar with the operation and the safety
aspects of the boat in case of an emergency.
Load the boat within the limits listed on the
capacity plate. Balance loads bow and stern
and port to starboard.
B - 3    SAFE BOATING PRACTICES
NOTICE
YOU are responsible for your own safety, the
safety of  your passengers, and the  safety of
fellow boaters.
Do not use the boat in bad weather or sea
conditions beyond the skill or experience of
the operator or the comfortable capability of
the boat or passengers.
