WINTER STORAGE

The boat must be properly protected during winter dry dock
storage. A winter storage cover is advisable. Many ma-
rine dealers offer shrinkwrap enclosures for outdoor stor-
age. See a Four Winns dealer for information on the avail-
ability of winter storage covers or other alternatives for stor-
age.
When storing outdoors, make sure the supporting frame-
work keeps the weight of the snow and rain from accumu-
lating on the storage cover. Proper ventilation must also
be provided or dry rot and mildew will occur. See Section
R - General Maintenance for additional winter storage in-
formation.

MAINTENANCE

Figure O6: Canvas Care & Maintenance Tag
Moisture, dirt, chemicals from industrial fallout, heat, ul-
traviolet rays and in some cases, salt water are factors
which affect the longevity of acrylic covers. See Figure
O6.
1. Moisture can cause shrinkage and mildew. Allow the
cover to dry thoroughly before disassembling tops.
Keep it clean and well ventilated to prevent mildew.
Spraying the weather cover with Lysol Disinfectant™
or similar product will help prevent mildew.
