M - 1 RAILS & DECK HARDWARE
A. Rails
Grab handles have been installed to provide security
for passengers in the cockpit. 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.
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.
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 M1 and M2. Please
consult your Four Winns Dealer for details.
