3.
Never operate your generator while the boat is
moored against any other boat, dock or wall
structure that is against or near the exhaust outlet.
Again, operation under such conditions could
easily lead to exhaust gases (carbon monoxide)
entering your boat or the boat to which you are
moored, even though you may have all the
hatches, windows, doors, and portholes closed.
NOTICE
The forward deck hatch, portlights and port
and starboard windows are designed to allow
ventilation when placed in open position.
7.
Inspect the engine exhaust system frequently for
water and exhaust gas leakage, hose deteriora-
tion, and loose hose clamps. See Section R -
General Maintenance for additional information.
4.
5.
Under certain conditions, exhaust gases can enter
the boat through the sink drains. Each sink drain
has a water trap installed to help prevent this. To
be effective, the sink drains must have water in
them. Normal use of the sinks will provide the
water needed for this to occur.
8.
Have a certified marine engine service technician
inspect your exhaust system whenever your boat
is in for service, or if you notice a change in the
sound of your engines.
For additional information, refer to Section B-2 -
Persons sleeping can be easily overcome by
carbon monoxide because they are unaware of its
presence. Sleeping with the engines or generator
running is not recommended. If persons are
sleeping aboard while underway, or while the
generator is running, those awake should monitor
for carbon monoxide accumulation in the cabin;
especially the sleeping areas. Open forward facing
windows or deck hatches to provide fresh air
ventilation. Keep hatches, windows, and doorways
that face aft or towards the exhaust discharge
closed.
Carbon Monoxide.
B. Carbon Monoxide Monitor
A carbon monoxide (CO) monitor(s) will sound an alert
should carbon monoxide reach an unsafe level in the
cabin of your V458. The CO Monitors are standard
equipment and are located in the aft cabin, forward
cabin and main cabin. Refer to the manufacturer’s
literature included with the owner’s packet.
Never disarm a CO detector. If a CO detector
alarms, immediately ventilate the area and
check passengers for symptoms of CO
intoxication. See your Four Winns dealer for
assistance in diagnosing the cause for the
alarm.
NEVER operate the propulsion engine(s) or
generator while everyone on board is sleeping.
Fatal carbon monoxide poisoning can occur.
6.
If possible, ventilate your cabin while under way.
Open a forward hatch or window to allow air to
travel through the cabin. Do not operate the boat
with the cabin door(s) or windows that face aft,
open. The natural vacuum created during opera-
tion may allow exhaust gasses to be drawn into
the cabin.
E - 3 ENGINE & DRIVE SYSTEM
A. Engine
The V458 model is equipped with twin IPS diesel
engine propulsion. Please consult the engine opera-
tor’s manual provided with this manual for operation
and maintenance information.
Note: With regard to engine maintenance, an oil
change pump system has been installed in the engine
compartment. See Figure E1 and the locator drawing
at the back of this manual. This oil change pump
system is designed to drain and fill the oil levels in
your engines while eliminating the mess.
