Engine Hour Meter; Alarm Systems; Instrument Maintenance - Four winns Horizon Owner's Manual

In an emergency situation, any occupant of the boat can
restart the engine. Just press in and hold the emer-
gency stop switch button, then follow normal starting pro-
cedures. When the button is released, the engine will
stop.
Avoid knocking or pulling the clip or lanyard from
the switch during regular boating operation.
Occupants may be thrown forward or possible
engine damage may occur by the sudden loss
of engine power.
K. Engine Hour Meter
Engine hour meters are optional on the 180, 190 and
200 Horizon® models and provide a numeric record of
elapsed engine operating time. This information is im-
portant in determining scheduled maintenance intervals,
ships log data, cruise information, etc. If so equipped,
the hour meter will be located in the engine compart-
ment.
The hour meter is connected to the ignition switch. Be
sure the ignition switch is in the OFF position when the
engine is not operating or the hour meter will record ad-
ditional time.
L. Alarm Systems
The Four Winns/VDO instrument module (standard on
the 180, 190 and 200 Horizon® models) has an audio
and/or visual warning system for oil pressure, water
temperature, low fuel, and voltage. It is actuated by
various engine sensors.
M. Instrument Maintenance
Electrical protection for instruments and ignition circuitry
is provided by fuses. In the case of the 180, 190 and
200 Horizon® the fuse block is located underneath the
instrument console.
Periodically, spray the ignition switch with a contact clean-
er. The ignition switch and all instruments, controls, 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 igni-
tion switch difficulties.

DO NOT use a product such as WD-40 as a
contact cleaner. Be sure to read the label be-
fore using any product.
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 im-
prove gauge accuracy.
