gines, but only provides a visual indication so the opera-
tor can take corrective action. See Section F-2 - Control
Operation and the engine manufacturer’s literature for
additional information on throttle usage and engine
synchronization.
M. Alarm Systems
An engine alarm system is installed on the 298 and 328
Vista® (gas or diesel engines). This is an audible alarm
that is mounted in the helm area; it is actuated by en-
gine water temperature and engine oil pressure senders.
The alarm will sound in the event of low engine oil pres-
sure or high engine coolant temperature.
The engine alarm will sound during engine start-up, or
whenever the ignition switch is positioned to ON and the
engine is not operating. The alarm sounds under these
conditions because engine oil pressure is low; the alarm
will cease to sound as soon as engine oil pressure rises
to the proper level.
NOTICE
The engine alarm monitors only engine water
temperature and engine oil pressure. Always
maintain a close visual watch on the drive(s),
transmission(s), engine fluid levels, bilge water
level, etc. Refer to the engine manufacturer’s
literature for additional information.
N. Navigational Packages (Optional)
Also available are optional navigational packages. See
Figure E17. Navigation Package 1 includes the
Raytheon VHF-210 radio and Raytheon GPS/Loran-398.
Navigation Package 1 is available for both 298 and 328.
Navigation Package 2 option is only available on the
328 Vista and it includes Raytheon VHF-210 radio and
Raytheon Radar System with GPS interface.
Please consult the manufacturer’s literature included
in the owner’s packet for operation and maintenance of
these navigational systems.
NOTICE
Four Winns does not limit you to these spe-
cific navigational packages mentioned above.
There are many navigational systems on the
market today. You may desire to use a differ-
ent system based on your needs, personal pref-
erence, and mounting space available.

O. Instrument Maintenance
Electrical protection for instruments and ignition circuitry
is provided by a circuit breaker on the ignition panel.
Periodically, spray the ignition switches with a contact
cleaner. The ignition switches and all instruments, con-
trols, etc. should be protected from the weather when not
in use. Four Winns offers appropriate weather covers for
each model. Excessive exposure can lead to gauge and
ignition switch difficulties.
Electronic gauges are affected by static electricity that
builds-up on the glass face. Periodic washing of the gauge
face with warm water and mild liquid detergent will help
eliminate the static electricity problem and improve gauge
accuracy.
