M - 1 RAILS & DECK HARDWARE
A. Rails
The rail system and hardware fittings have been
selected and installed to perform specific func tions.
Fenders or mooring lines should not be secured to the
rails or stanchions. Be certain that a clear lead exists
when running dock lines or an anchor line. A line inad-
vertently threaded around a stanchion or over the rail
could cause damage.
Assist handles or rails have been installed to provide
security for passengers in the cockpit. See Figures M1
& M2. Limiting passen ger move ment while underway
is recom mend ed. All those on board should be safely
seated whenever possi ble. Additional care must be
taken when in rough seas or foul weather.

B. Cleats
The cleats that have been installed are specifical ly
designed and are intended to be used as mooring
cleats. Their purpose is for securing the vessel to a
dock, pier, mooring, or anchor.
A pull-up style cleat is standard on SL models. The
pull-up cleat gives your boat a more sleek style. When
you desire to use the cleat, simply pull up on the cleat.
When finished with the cleat, push in and the cleat
will remain in its retracted position until the next time
you desire to use it. See Figures M3 and M4. Please
consult your Four Winns Dealer for details.
