NOTICE
All fittings must be periodically inspected for loos-
ening, wear, and damage. Problems should be
corrected immediately!
M - 2 WINDSCREENS & WINDSHIELDS
Depending on the model, a windscreen or windshield is
standard equipment. The 214 has a plexiglass
windscreen on the driver’s console. The 234/254 has
a full windshield consisting of tempered safety glass and
the windshield frame is aluminum.
Plexiglass windscreens and windshields of tempered
glass can be cleaned with automotive glass cleaners or
dishwashing soap and water. Ensure that a clean cloth
is used to prevent scratching the plexiglass.
Aluminum can be cleaned with similar products or with
nonabrasive cleaners such as Fantastik™.
NOTICE
Read the label before using any product. DO
NOT use abrasive cleaners.
M - 3 SWIM PLATFORM
Four Winns® provides an integrated fiberglass swim plat-
form on all models. For better footing, a nonskid sur-
face is provided. The ladder is “deep” and “angled”
mounted which makes it easier to climb. Its starboard
location means you’re not approaching a down skier
on your “blind side”.
Keep hands and fingers away from ladder hinges
to prevent injury.
NEVER APPROACH OR USE LADDER
WHEN THE MOTOR IS RUNNING. SEVERE
INJURY OR DEATH WILL RESULT FROM
CONTACT WITH ROTATING PROPELLER.
Shut off motor when near swimmers. Severe
injury or death will result from contact with ro-
tating propeller.
NOTICE
Always secure the ladder before boating.
Damage to the ladder may otherwise result.
M - 4 TRANSOM DOOR - SIDE DOOR
A transom door is provided and allows access from the
swim platform to the cockpit. For access on or off the
boat, either a port or starboard side door is standard. A
slide bolt is used to secure both the transom and side
door. To prevent a possible man overboard situation,
make sure the transom and side doors are secure be-
fore each cruise.
Prevent falls overboard. Close, latch, and stay
inside gate(s) while underway.
To prevent personal injury, swim platform must
not be occupied and transom door must be
closed while engines are running.
To prevent personal injury, DO NOT sit on or
lean against the transom door.
M - 5 ANCHOR
Four Winns® recommends an eight (8) pound, Attwood®
“Penetrating” anchor, with a 3/8” line be used on all the
Candia FS models.
The recommended line length is
100-150 feet. Because of differences in style, a larger
anchor may be needed for different bottom or boating
conditions.
NOTICE
A “system matched*” fluke style anchor fits in
all applications. *”System matched” means that
the designated OEM part, anchors in this in-
stance, found in an OEM parts catalog would
work in this application.
Anchors are usually a dealer installed option. Please
check with your Four Winns® dealer for his recommen-
dations.
