P - 7    HULL SUPPORT
Four.Winns.recommends.antifouling.or.bottom.paint.
for.boats.which.will.be.kept.in.the.water.for.extended.
periods.of.time..Antifouling.paint.reacts.with.water.to.
retard.the.growth.of.algae,.barnacles.and.other.ma-
rine.growth.on.the.hull..In.addition.to.marine.growth,..
it.offers.protection.against.excessive.water.pollution.
Proper.support.of.the.hull.while.it.is.out.of.the..
water.is.imperative..Due.to.the.design.complexities,.
Four.Winns.does.not.recommend.trailers.or.storage.
cradles.be.homemade..The.boat.is.a.valuable.piece..
of.equipment..DO.NOT.risk.permanent.damage.to..
the.hull.structure.in.an.attempt.to.save.the.cost.of..
an.adequate.support..Improper.support.can.lead.to..
serious.and.permanent.hull.deformation.
Antifouling.paint.begins.reaction.upon.contact.with.
water..After.a.season’s.use.or.sooner.under.certain.
conditions,.the.antifouling.paint.may.appear.to.be..
dissolving..This.is.due.to.the.paint’s.chemical.emis-
sion.that.in.turn.retards.marine.growth..When.this.
occurs, refinishing is in order.
Failure to adequately support the hull may
result in permanent hull structure damage and
will invalidate the hull structure warranty.
Four.Winns.recommends.reapplication.of.the.antifoul-
ing.paint.seasonally..The.effectiveness.of.the.paint.
will.be.drastically.reduced.if.used.longer..Though.
Four.Winns.has.found.the.antifouling.paints.used.to.
provide.good.marine.growth.protection.in.most.water,.
other.paints.may.be.more.effective.in.certain.water.
conditions..See.a.Four.Winns.dealer.for.recommen-
dations.on.antifouling.paint.use.in.your.area.
NOTICE
When attempting to raise the hull, never allow
one end of the boat to rise first, while letting
the opposite rest momentarily on the outdrives
or underwater gear. Serious damage to these
components could result. DO NOT place lifting
straps on underwater gear. Be sure the strap
is against the hull surface only.
NOTICE
During surface preparation, the hull should be
sanded only enough to remove any foreign
matter, and loose paint. DO NOT sand deeply
into the gel coat, fiberglass cosmetic problems
could later result. After sanding, the surface
should be wiped with a rag treated with a
cleaner recommended by the antifouling paint
manufacturer. The surface must be clean and
slightly rough to ensure paint adhesion.
A.trailer,.or.storage.cradle.designed.for.a.larger.or.
smaller.boat.will.not.provide.proper.support.for.the.
hull..This.could.lead.to.hull.deformation.and.thus..
serious performance deficiencies.
Four.Winns .trailers.are.available.for.most.models...

Prior.to.application.of.the.antifouling.paint,.the.boat.

an..epoxy.coating..Four.Winns.recommends.this.
procedure.as.a.preventive.and.effective.means.of.
controlling.osmotic.blistering..Most.major.antifoul-
ing.paint.manufacturers.also.supply.a.line.of.epoxy.
undercoatings...Consult.your.Four.Winns.dealer..
