2011 Four Winns H310 Boat Owners Manual

Load the boat within the limits listed on the
capacity plate. Balance loads bow and stern
and port to starboard. Passengers are to sit
only on seats, not seat backs, gunwales,
engine cover, or any other unsafe locations.
Shut off motor when near swimmers. Severe
injury or death will result from contact with
rotating propeller.
Helm Boarding Ladder Warning Label
Do not use the boat in bad weather or sea
conditions beyond the skill or experience of
the operator or the comfortable capability
of the boat or passengers.
When pulling skiers do not turn on the engine
until you are at least a boat length away from
the person in the water. When approaching a
downed skier, turn off the engine at least one
boat length away before reaching the skier in
the water.
•  
Make sure the passengers and gear do not  
obstruct the operator’s view or impede his
ability to move.
Do not exceed the maximum engine power
rating stated on the certification plate located
inside the boat.
E.   First Aid
C.   Passenger Safety
As a boater, you should be familiar with the basic first
aid procedures that may be needed while you are
out far from help. Fish hook accidents or minor cuts
and abrasions may be the most serious mishaps on
board a boat but you should also learn the proper
procedures and be ready to deal with the truly serious
problems like mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, excessive
bleeding, hypothermia, and burns. First aid literature
and courses are available through most Red Cross
chapters.
Before getting underway, show all passengers where
emergency and safety equipment is stowed, and
explain how to use it. Everyone aboard should wear
rubber-soled shoes which resist slipping on wet
surfaces. While underway, passengers should remain
seated inside the deck rails and gates. Do not allow
passengers to drag their feet or hands in the water.
Always use handholds and other safety hardware to
prevent falls. All nonswimmers, poor swimmers and
small children should wear PFDs at all times.
F.   Operation By Minors
D.   Propeller
Minors should always be supervised by an adult
whenever operating a boat. Many states have laws re-
garding the minimum age and licensing requirements
of minors. Be sure to check local laws or contact the
state boating authorities for information.
PERSONAL INJURY
Do not allow anyone near a propeller, even
when the engine is off. Propeller blades can
be sharp and continue to turn even after the
engine is shut off. Do not allow anyone near
the propeller when the throttle is in neutral
position. Accidently engaging the shift can
result in a serious injury or death. (See actual
ladder warning labels and helm boarding
ladder warning label below).
G.   “Rules of the Road”
As a responsible boater, you must comply with the
“Rules of the Road,” the marine traffic laws enforced
by the US Coast Guard. Navigating a boat is much
the same as driving an automobile. Operating either
one responsibly means complying with a set of rules
intended to prevent accidents. Just as you assume
other car drivers know what they are doing, other
boaters assume you know what you are doing. Infor-
mation regarding navigational rules and the “Rules of
the Road” are discussed in further detail in C-1 & C-2
of the next section.
Never approach or use ladder when motor is
running. Severe injury or death will result from
contact with rotating propeller.
