M - 4 WINDOWS
Secure walk-thru windshield with strap (if
applicable) when in open position. Securing
the walk-thru windshield will help prevent the
windshield from accidently slamming closed
due to high wind and/or wake condition, thus
reducing the chance of damage to windshield
or injury.
A. Windshields and Cabin Windows
The windshield consist of tempered safety glass and
cabin port lights consist of plexiglass. The windshield
frame consists of a painted or polished aluminum.
A walk-thru windshield is standard. Steps are provided
between the companionway and helm station to allow
easy access through the walk-thru windshield open-
ing. See Figure M5.
Windshields made of tempered glass can be cleaned
with automotive glass cleaners or dishwashing soap
and water. Ensure that a clean cloth is used to prevent
scratching the glass.
Aluminum can be cleaned with similar products or with
nonabrasive cleaners such as Fantastik™.
NOTICE
Read the label before using any product. DO
NOT use abrasive cleaners.
B. Plexiglass
Figure M5: Access to Walk-Thru Windshield
Plexiglass (acrylic plastic) is used for port holes,
companionway door assemblies, transom doors,
sliding storage doors, electrical panel doors, cabinets
and cabin windows. Plexiglass will scratch easily and
must be handled with care.
Four Winns does not recommend occupying
the foredeck during bad weather or on rough
seas. DO NOT use walk-thru instead use deck
hatches and only if absolutely necessary
during any bad weather or on rough sea
conditions.
To clean, follow the instructions located in Sections
M-3 and Q-7. DO NOT use paper towels. They will
scratch the plexiglass.
Plexiglass or plastic polish may also be used. Read
the label first before using any cleaning product.
Make sure deck hatches are closed or be
aware of their location when using walk-thru
and moving around the foredeck to prevent
possible injury.
NOTICE
DO NOT use harsh chemicals or strong
cleaning solutions on plexiglass. The surface
can be etched, scratched, disfigured, or
clouded. See Section Q - Acrylic Plastic -
(Plexiglass).
We recommend you close and secure the
walk-thru windshield while underway. Damage
to the windshield could result.
M - 5 FOREDECK HATCH
The foredeck hatch consist of a translucent plexiglass.
The hatch is supported by one locking hinge and can
be secured in a partially open position for ventilation.
See Figure M6. Follow the cleaning directions for
plexiglass described in Sections M - 3 and Q - 7 of this
manual.
