A. Rails
Grab handles have been installed to provide security
for passengers in the cockpit. Limiting passenger
movement while underway is recommended. All those
on board should be safely seated whenever possible.
Additional care must be taken when in rough seas or
foul weather.

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specicallyde-
signed and are intended to be used as mooring cleats.
Their purpose is for securing the vessel to a dock, pier,
mooring, or anchor.
An optional pull-up style cleat is available on certain
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nished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 M-1 and M-2.
Please consult your Four Winns dealer for details.

Boats are not equipped with any
hardware designed for towing purposes. The
mooring cleats that are installed on the boat
are not to be used for towing another vessel
or having the boat towed. Refer to Section A -
Operation for additional precautions regarding
grounding and towing.
C. Transom Ski Tow
The transom ski tow is mounted on the transom above
theswimplatform.ItisavailableonallFunship™
models. All these models should pull up two skiers
under normal boating conditions. However, Four
Winns recommends no more than two skiers be pulled
behind the boat at any time.
Do not use ski tow tting for lifting or parasail-
ing. Fitting could pull out of deck resulting in
serious injury or death.
To prevent personal injury or damage to the
boat, DO NOT tow more than two water skiers
with the transom mounted ski tow ring.
NOTICE
Skier’s weight, boating conditions, amount of
gear, and operator’s experience will affect the
number of skiers which can be pulled.
