C - 5 OWNER’S LOGS AND RECORDS
At the end of this owner’s manual are several forms
which you will find very helpful.
The
Float Plan
provides a record of your destination,
departure and return times, boat description, passen-
ger list, and other information about the trip you have
planned. At the bottom of the form is space for listing
emergency telephone numbers in case your return is
delayed past the expected time. It also has space for
indicating information about the person filing this
report. Leave the completed form ashore with a
responsible person. We recommend you make
several copies of this form each boating season to
assure an ample supply.
The
Fuel Log
is a handy way to record information
covering engine hours, fuel consumption, miles
traveled, as well as RPM (revolutions per minute),
average MPH (miles per hour) and GPH (gallons
per hour).
The
Service/Maintenance Log
provides a record of
maintenance work completed, the date of completion,
and the engine hour reading. This log also helps you
identify the frequency of routine maintenance work,
such as engine oil changes. If you should decide to
sell your boat, it demonstrates to perspective buyers
that you have done a good job taking care of it.
The
Service Information Sheet
allows you to
record all the pertinent information regarding your
Four Winns
®
boat. This sheet will be extremely helpful
when ordering additional/optional parts for your boat
or when having service work done.
C - 6 NAVIGATIONAL AIDS CHART
The illustrated Navigational Aids Charts contain
information concerning whistle signals, storm
warnings, bridge signals, and buoy descriptions.
