Engines, Drives and Instrumentation - Section E
These Vista
®
models use surface water as a cooling
medium for the heat exchanger. The cooling water
employed enters the system through a water intake
and is relinquished through the exhaust manifold
system.Inboards utilize thru-hull water intake scoops.
These types of intakes have an external strainer.
Be sure strainers are kept free of mud, weeds and
other debris. Some boating areas require that addi-
tional strainers or water intake filters be installed.
Refer ence Section P-3 - Equipment Installation, in this
manual for installa tion instruc tions and consult your
Four Winns dealer regard ing any special equip ment
that may be required.
A gate valve or seacock is provided at each engine
intake scoop previously described. Be sure these
valves are in the open position (lever is parallel with
the valve) when operating the engines and in the
closed positions (lever is perpendicular to valve) when
engines are not operating for an extended period of
time.
Serious engine damage could result if seacock
valve(s) is not open during engine(s) operation.
Ensure seacock valve(s) are in the open
position when operating engine(s).
Should an en gine in take or an ex ha ust or
cool ing hose rup ture, turn the en gine off and
close the seacock immediately. Proceed under
tow, if neces sary, to a service facility for
appropriate repairs; maintain a close visual
watch on the prob lem hose and also on the
bilge water level.
E - 7 RUNNING ANGLE & POWER
TRIM/TILT – STERN DRIVE MODELS
Hull planing surfaces have the least amount of drag at
a three to five degree angle with the water. This is the
pre ferred running angle when boating. The running
angle has a signifi cant impact on top speed and
handling. Heavy load or certain water conditions may
make it difficult to achieve the optimum running angle.
See Figure E-7.
exhaust relief and the exhaust through the propeller
hub. Inboard models expel water and exhaust through
exhaust ports. A temperature gauge(s) located on
your instrument panel monitors engine(s) tempera-
tures.
NOTICE
Inboard boats utilize exhaust hoses to
relinquish cooling water. A periodic inspection
of the hoses, muffler and related parts should
be made to insure that leaks or heat
deterioration have not resulted. Replace them
as necessary.
Never operate your engine without a
thermostat. Engine damage can occur and is
considered operator negligence and therefore
not covered under the engine warranty.
If engine should overheat, turn off engine,
look for obstructions to water pick-up. If any
obstructions are found, clear the obstructions
and run engine again at 1500 RPM in neutral
and check temperature gauge to verify
condition. If overheating still occurs, return to
port at low RPM to prevent excessive over-
heating and engine damage. Consult with
your certified engine dealer for service.
NOTICE
When laying up the boat for winter it is
important that the cooling system be flushed
with fresh water so that deposits do not dry
and to prevent the buildup of salt crystals.
Please consult your engine owner’s/operator’s
manual for proper engine and cooling system
winterization procedures.
B. Fresh Water Cooling
Certain Vista
®
inboards along with certain stern drive
models include a “closed water cooling” system.
This system provides adequate engine cooling without
exposing the internal engine to the detrimental effects
of surface water, including salt, highly polluted or silt-
laden water. The engine owners manual provides
addi tional infor mation regarding service and mainte-
nance of this equipment. See your Four Winns dealer
for availability.
