2011 Four Winns V335 Boat Owners Manual

The Canadian Power and Sail Squadron offers
seamanship courses. Information may be obtained
by visiting their website at www.cps-ecp.ca/.
Running aground can cause serious
damage to a boat and associated
underwater gear. If the boat should become
grounded, distribute personal flotation
devices and inspect the boat for possible
damage. Thoroughly inspect the bilge area
for signs of leakage. An experienced
service facility should check the hull and
underwater gear at the first opportunity. DO
NOT continue to use the boat if the condi-
tion of the hull or underwater equipment is
questionable.
B.   Boating Manuals or Literature
A good source of information is the US Coast Guard’s
home study book called “The Skipper’s Course”.
This book may be purchased through Superintendent
of Documents, US Government Printing Office,
Washington, DC 20402, Stock # 050-012-00159-6.
Another good source of boating information is
Chapman’s “Piloting, Seamanship and Small Boat
Handling”. Also, check the local library or book store
for additional information on boating.
If towing or being towed is absolutely necessary, use
the strongest lines available, and attach them to the
bow eyes or stern eyes only. Have all passengers slip
on life jackets and take a seat in the cabin or other
protected area.
C.   Charts and Maps
US nautical charts are sold throughout the country at
Governmental Printing Office stores and other agents.
Chart catalogs are available by visiting the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration website at
http://nauticalcharts.noaa.gov/mcd/ccatalogs.

Lines can snap or other hardware can be
loosened or broken while towing. Under
certain conditions, this can cause severe
injury or fatality.
In addition, many federal agencies publish recre-
ational maps, including the US Army Corp of Engi-
neers, the Forest Service, the National Park Service,
and the Tennessee Valley Authority.
