Lights

Four Winns® trailers are equipped with taillights, brake
lights, turning signals, and clearance lights. All lights
are sealed to prevent moisture from entering. The tail-
light assembly may be replaced if it becomes neces-
sary. Contact your Four Winns dealer for assistance.
NOTICE
Use a heavy duty turning signal flasher on tow-
ing vehicles. Check with your local auto parts
store or ask your Four Winns dealer for assis-
tance.
Consult your dealer for state trailer regulations concern-
ing lighting and other optional equipment.

J. Tie-downs
The boat should be secured to the trailer by tie-downs to
prevent damage to the hull. The boat may shift or bounce
against the bunks or hull supports if not secured. It may
also slide or fall off the trailer while being towed.
There are two types of tie-downs being used:
1. Bow Tie-downs: A bow stop to hold the front of your
boat in place is located on the winch stand. It should
be positioned so that the winch line pulls straight
and is parallel to the trailer frame. A separate tie-
down should then be attached to hold the boat. See
Figure R10.
Figure R10: Bow Tie Down Strap
NOTICE
DO NOT rely on the winch cable (or line) alone
to hold the bow of the boat against the bow stop.
A bow tie-down is provided with the Four Winns®
trailer.
2. Rear Tie-downs: It is very important that the tran-
som is resting securely on the bunk supports at the
rear of the trailer. Rear tie-downs are provided to
secure the boat to the trailer. Tighten the tie-downs
to prevent the boat from moving. See Figure R11.
