Plexiglass; M.-.5. Fordeck.hatches - Four winns 348 vista Owner's Manual

Make sure deck hatches are closed or be
aware of their location when using walk-thru
and moving around the foredeck to prevent
possible injury.
We recommend you close and secure the
walk-thru windshield while underway. Damage
to the windshield could result.
Secure walk-thru windshield with strap (if
applicable) when in open position. Securing
the walk-thru windshield will help prevent the
windshield from accidently slamming closed
due to high wind and/or wake condition, thus
reducing the chance of damage to windshield
or injury.
