2011 Four Winns H-Series Boat Owners Manual

O - 3    WINTER STORAGE
The boat must be properly protected during winter
dry dock storage. A winter storage cover is advisable.
Many marine dealers offer shrink-wrap enclosures for
outdoor storage. See a Four Winns dealer for informa-
tion on the availability of winter storage covers or
other alternatives for storage.
Figure O-8: Mooring Cover
When storing outdoors, make sure the supporting
framework keeps the weight of the snow and rain from
accumulating on the storage cover. Proper ventilation
must also be provided or dry rot and mildew will occur.
See Section R - General Maintenance for additional
winter storage information.
To install:
1.
2.
Spread mooring cover over entire boat.
Install adjustable poles in the rear cockpit and
forward bow areas. Be sure the canvas is taut
and no pockets (sags) exist.
O - 4    USE OF WEATHER COVERS AND
CARBON MONOXIDE
3.
4.
Tie off at the transom.
When an engine is running, a natural vacuum may
exist with the right wind and sea conditions to allow
exhaust gases (which includes carbon monoxide)
to seep into the boat. When canvas is utilized, this
compounds the possibility of this occurring and inhibits
natural ventilation. For more information, refer to Sec-
tion B-2 - Carbon Monoxide in this manual.
Nylon loops are provided for attaching rope or
bungie cords to the trailer or from side to side
(under the boat).

TRAILERING
High winds encountered during trailering your boat
can severely damage most weather covers. If an
extended trip at highway speeds is planned, the top
and other weather covers should be in the down posi-
tion or removed entirely. This will prevent damage and
loss.
The carbon monoxide in exhaust fumes can be haz-
ardous. It is important for you and your passengers
to be aware of the potential safety hazard created by
exhaust fumes. Familiarize yourself with the symp-
toms of individuals overcome by carbon monoxide,
and most importantly, ways you can protect yourself
and your guests. See Figure O-9 - Carbon Monoxide
Canvas Warning Label and Figure O-10 - Carbon
Monoxide Warning Label.
NOTICE
DO NOT tow your boat at highway speeds with
weather covers in place. High winds encoun-
tered during trailering your boat can severely
damage most weather covers. Damage to
weather covers incurred as a result of trailering
your boat is not covered under warranty.
