TRAILERING
High winds encountered during trailering your boat can
severely damage most weather covers. If an extended
trip at highway speeds is planned, the top and other
weather covers should be in the down position or re-
moved entirely. This will prevent damage and loss.
NOTICE
DO NOT tow your boat at highway speeds with
weather covers in place. High winds encoun-
tered during trailering your boat can severely
damage most weather covers. Damage to
weather covers incurred as a result of trailering
your boat is not covered under warranty.

The boat must be properly protected during winter
dry dock storage. A winter storage cover is advisable.
Many marine dealers offer shrink-wrap enclosures for
outdoor storage. See a Four Winns dealer for informa-
tion on the availability of winter storage covers or
other alternatives for storage.
When storing outdoors, make sure the sup porting
framework keeps the weight of the snow and rain from
accumulating on the storage cover. Proper ventilation
must also be provided or dry rot and mildew will occur.
See Section R - General Mainte nance for addition al
winter storage information.

When an engine is running, a natural vacuum may
exist with the right wind and sea conditions to al-
low exhaust gases (which includes carbon monox-
ide) to seep into the boat. When canvas is utilized,
this compounds the possibili ty of this occurring
and inhibits natural ventilation. For more informa-
tion, refer to Section B-2 - Carbon Monoxide in this
manual. The carbon monoxide in exhaust fumes can
be hazardous. It is important for you and your pas-
sengers to be aware of the potential safety hazard
created by ex haust fumes. Familiarize yourself with
the symptoms of individuals overcome by carbon
monoxide, and most importantly, ways you can
protect yourself and your guests. See Figure O8 -
