Weather Covers
O - 1 GENERAL INFORMATION
Weather covers for the cockpit areas are available
onallFunship™models.FourWinnscoversare
designed and intended to provide protection of the
cockpit seating areas.
Four Winns utilizes acrylic-type material for all its
covers.AllFunship™canvasexceptmooringcovers
consist of 100% acrylic material and is color matched
to the boat. The mooring covers are made of
10-ounce acrylic and come in dark tan (mica) only.
Never use any form of open ame cooking
device while under, in any area fully enclosed,
or near any acrylic weather cover. This mate-
rial is ammable.
During the manufacture of the weather covers, the
smallest possible needle and highest quality UV
stabilized, bonded polyester thread is used in the
stitching.
T
he weather cover is water repellant but not water
proof. During a hard rain, you may notice a light mist
permeating through a weather cover. This is normal.
If the seams leak, they can be sprayed with Scotch-
guard™orsimilarwaterrepellentoraseamsealing
compound can be applied. Keep objects from contact-
ing the inside of the cover. Leakage may occur at
point of contact.
Weather covers must be installed taut or will be
damaged by accumulation of rain water.
NOTICE
Periodically check weather covers for accumu-
lation of water. Damage to the bow assemblies
may otherwise result. Make sure cover is taut
to avoid puddling of water.
After use, the top canvas should be rolled up into the
boot (if supplied) and secured.
NOTICE
NEVER fold or store a wet weather cover. This
can lead to mildew or shrinkage. Roll rather
than fold the enclosure curtains. Sharp folds
increase the chance of cracking the clear vinyl.
