M - 1 RAILS & DECK HARDWARE
superficially rusted. This can be controlled by cleaning
the fittings and applying a coat of wax. Any future
rusting can be removed by polishing and rewaxing.
Hand and bow rails have been installed to provide
security for passengers using the walk-around deck
and while outside the cockpit area (i.e. swim platform
and bow areas). Limiting passenger movement while
underway is recommended. All those on board should
be safely seated whenever possible. Additional care
must be taken when in rough seas or foul weather.
Access to the foredeck should be through the fore-
deck hatch when running in adverse conditions.
NOTICE
All fittings must be periodically inspected for
loosening, wear, and damage. Problems
should be corrected immediately!
The cleats that have been installed are specifically
designed and are intended to be used as mooring
cleats. Their purpose is for securing the vessel to a
dock, pier, mooring, or anchor.
Four Winns does not recommend occupying
the foredeck during bad weather or on rough
seas. DO NOT use walk-around deck instead
use deck hatch and only if absolutely neces-
sary during any bad weather or on rough sea
conditions.
Four Winns boats are not equipped with any
®
hardware designed for towing purposes. The
mooring cleats that are installed on the boat
are not to be used for towing another vessel or
having the boat towed. Refer to Section A -
Operation for additional precautions regarding
grounding and towing.
The rail system and hardware fittings have been
selected and installed to perform specific functions.
Fenders or mooring lines should not be secured to the
rails or stanchions. Be certain that a clear lead exists
when running dock lines or an anchor line. A line
inadvertently threaded around a stanchion or over the
rail could cause damage.
M - 2 TRANSOM DOOR
A transom door is provided and allows access from
the cockpit to the swim platform. A door latch is used
to secure the transom door closed while underway.
The door, while the boat is at rest, may be latched in
the opened position for convenience. To prevent a
possible man overboard situation, make sure the
transom door is secure before becoming underway.
See Figure M2.
The majority of the hardware installed is made of
stainless steel. See Figure M1. Regardless of the type
of hardware used, periodic maintenance is necessary.
