Once a month, check the switch for proper opera-
tion. With engine running, pull lanyard. If the en-
gine does not stop, see your Four Winns Dealer.
The compass must be properly calibrated after all
personal equipment is installed including all electron-
ics (radio, depth sounder, etc.). DO NOT rely on the
compass readings until initial adjustment (compensa-
tion) has been performed. If the boat has a factory-
installed compass, the manufacturer’s instructions are
provided in the owner’s packet. Most areas have local
companies that specialize in compass adjustment. If
unsure of the proper compensation techniques,
consider having the adjustment done professionally to
ensure accuracy and confidence in the compass.
Once a month, inspect both the clip and lanyard
for cuts, breaks or wear. Replace worn or dam-
aged parts.
In an emergency situation, any occupant of the boat
can restart the engine. Just press in and hold the
emergency stop switch button, then follow normal
starting procedures. When the button is released,
the engine will stop.
NOTICE
During use, keep all extraneous metal objects
away from the compass. The close proximity of
metal objects (e.g., beverage cans) can cause
compass deviation.
Avoid knocking or pulling the clip or lanyard
from the switch during regular boating opera-
tion. Occupants may be thrown forward or
possible engine damage may occur by the
sudden loss of engine power.
M. GPS/Map
A GPS/Map is an electronic system through which
a navigator can determine his position regardless of
weather. The GPS sensor receives high frequency
radio signals generated from satellites to generate
coordinate readings on the display. The GPS naviga-
tional unit takes this information and uses it to deter-
mine the vessel’s exact position and indicates the
vessels position on the chart plotter. The chart plotter
allows one’s course to be plotted electronically.
Factory installed GPS/Map system is the optional
navigational package offered for certain SL models.
It is mounted at the helm. See Figure E9. If equipped,
refer to the manufacturer’s literature included in the
owner’s packet.
K. Alarm Systems
Engine alarm systems are standard. The alarm is
audible and is actuated by various engine sensors.
The sensors monitor such things low oil pressure, high
water temperature levels and high exhaust manifold
temperatures. Consult your engine owner’s manual for
information regarding the specific systems monitored
by the alarm.
L. Compass
AcompassisstandardontheSLmodels.SeeFigureE8.
The compass can provide directional information when
operating offshore, in unfamiliar waters, or in adverse
weather conditions.
