3. Chemicals cause decay if allowed to accumulate for

long periods of time.  Keep the cover clean to pre-

vent decay.

4. Heat can cause cracks in vinyl components and stiff-

ening of fabric when enclosed in plastic or polyeth-

ylene.  DO NOT store the weather cover in polyeth-

ylene under direct sunlight or high temperature situ-

ations.

5. Ultraviolet degradation may occur under prolonged

exposure to direct sunlight.  Store the top in the boot

when not in use.

6. Salt water can corrode brass, aluminum, or stain-

less steel fittings and fasteners.  Keep fittings clean,

lubricated, and waxed to prevent corrosion.

Clear vinyl curtains and windows demand extra care to

prevent scratching.  DO NOT use cloth or chamois skin.

Dirt or grit in the cloth will scratch the vinyl window.  Hose

clean water onto vinyl to rinse off salt, dirt, or grime.

NOTICE

DO NOT use hot water.  DO NOT dry in an auto-

matic dryer.  DO NOT dry clean or steam press.

Leakage after cleaning may be the result of insufficient

rinsing.  Re-rinse.  If leakage continues, apply a coat of

silicone  air  drying  water  repellent,  such  as

Scotchguard™.    See  your  Four  Winns®  dealer  for

additional information on weather covers.

CARBON MONOXIDE

When the boat is underway, a natural vacuum may exist

with the right wind and sea conditions to draw the ex-

haust gases (which includes carbon monoxide) into the

boat.  When the side curtains are installed, this com-

pounds the possibility of this occurring.  Carbon monox-

ide may also be present when mooring or near sea walls.

For more information, refer to Section B-2 Carbon Mon-

oxide in this manual.

The carbon monoxide in exhaust fumes can be hazard-

ous.  It is important for you and your passengers to be

aware of the potential safety hazard created by exhaust

fumes.  Familiarize yourself with the symptoms of indi-

viduals overcome by carbon monoxide, and most im-

portantly, ways you can protect yourself and your guests.

Exhaust fumes from engines contain carbon

monoxide.  Boats with canvas deployed are

more  likely  to  collect  exhaust  fumes.   Avoid

brain damage or death from carbon monox-

ide.  Keep cockpit and cabin areas well venti-

lated.  Signs of exposure include nausea, diz-

ziness, and drowsiness.  See Section B-2 of

the boat owner’s manual for more details.  If

using a catalytic heater, provide ventilation.  Do
not use catalytic heater while sleeping.
