GENERAL
DO NOT attempt to service any engine or drive
component without being totally familiar with the
safe and proper service procedures. Certain mov-
ing parts are exposed and can prove dangerous
to one unfamiliar with the operation and function
of the equipment.
Four Winns does not manufacture engines or drives.
Because of the technical nature of the engine and drive
systems, all manufacturers of these items require that
warranty and service problems be taken directly to an
authorized dealer for resolution. The Four Winns dealer
from whom you purchased your boat, will handle all war-
ranty and service matters with the engine manufacturer
for you.
In compliance with the Federal Boat Safety Act of 1971
all engine manufacturers require their products to be regis-
tered. A registration card is furnished with each new en-
gine. When selling a Four Winns boat, the dealer, along
with the purchaser, should complete the information re-
quested on these cards and return them to the respective
engine manufacturers. Engine registration cards are pro-
vided with the engine and will usually be found with the
boat literature.
Each manufacturer of the various marine power compo-
nents provides an owners information manual with their
product. This publication is included with this manual. It
is important that you read the manual(s) carefully and
become completely familiar with proper care and opera-
tion of the engine and drive system. Be sure to read the
section on winterization. Replacement costs associated
with frozen engine blocks, drive systems and other com-
ponents are quite substantial.
Also review the other sections in this manual, especially
Sections F on Fuel Systems, and Section C on Control
Systems.

ENGINE EXHAUST
A. Carbon Monoxide
The carbon monoxide in exhaust fumes can be hazard-
ous. It is important for you and your passengers to be
aware of the potential safety hazard created by exhaust
fumes. Familiarize yourself with the symptoms of indi-
viduals overcome by carbon monoxide, and most impor-
tantly, ways you can protect yourself and your guests.
DO NOT inhale exhaust fumes! Exhaust con-
tains carbon monoxide which is colorless and
odorless. Carbon monoxide is a dangerous gas
that is potentially lethal.
Persons overcome by carbon monoxide may
exhibit the following symptoms:
a.
Watering and itchy eyes

IF YOU THINK EXHAUST FUMES ARE ENTERING
YOUR BOAT, DETERMINE THE CAUSE AND HAVE
IT CORRECTED IMMEDIATELY!
