Freedom™/Horizon™ Owner’s Manual
A - 1 GENERAL
Before starting the boat, become familiar with all of thevarious systems and related operations. Be sure allnecessary safety equipment is on-board. Know the “Rulesof the Road”. Have an experienced operator brief you onthe general operation of your new boat. Perform a “Pre-Cruise Systems Check”. This manual is a part of yourboat’s equipment. Always keep it on board.
A - 2 COMPONENT SYSTEMS
Before you can really enjoy your boat, a thorough under-standing of its systems and their operation is essential.This manual and the associated manufacturers informa-tion are included in the owner’s packet. This informa-tion is provided to enhance your knowledge of the boat.Read this information carefully.
After becoming familiar with the boat and its systems,reread this manual and other material provided in theowner’s packet. Maintenance and service tips are in-cluded to help keep the boat in like-new condition.
A - 3 SAFETY EQUIPMENT
Besides the equipment installed on the boat byFour Winns, certain other equipment is required for pas-senger safety. A booklet listing the Federal equipmentrequirements is included in the owner’s packet or is avail-able through your local U.S. Coast Guard Station. Re-member that these laws are for your protection and areminimum requirements. Check your local and state regu-lations, also. More information on safety equipment isprovided in Section B.
Items like a sea anchor, working anchor, extra dock lines,flare pistol, a line permanently secured to your ring buoy,etc. could at some time save your passengers lives, orsave your boat from damage.
The Coast Guard Auxiliary offers a “Courtesy Examina-tion.” This inspection will confirm the boat is equippedwith all of the necessary safety equipment.
A - 4 PASSENGER SAFETY
You are responsible for the safety of your passengers aswell as for their behavior while aboard. Make sure:
1. Each passenger is properly instructed in PersonalFlotation Device (PFD) use and keeps one withinreach in case of emergency. All non-swimmers andchildren should wear a PFD at all times when under-way.
2. Passengers do not sit on gunwales, open decks, el-evated pedestal seats or on seat backs when theboat is underway. This could cause them to be thrownoverboard during a sudden maneuver.
3. At least one other person knows how to operate theboat in case of an emergency.
A - 5 “RULES OF THE ROAD”
As in driving an automobile, there are a few rules thatmust be known if safe boating operation is to be main-tained. The Coast Guard, Coast Guard Auxiliary, Depart-ment of Natural Resources or your local boat club spon-sor courses in boat handling, including “rules of the road”.Such courses are strongly recommended. Books on thissubject are also available from local libraries.
A - 6 LIGHTNING
When boating, it is important to be aware of the weatheraround you. When the weather changes for the worse,DO NOT jeopardize your safety by trying to “ride out thestorm”. If possible, return to safe harbor and dock yourvessel immediately.
If caught in a storm, seek shelter inside the cabin andwait for the storm to pass. With open bow models, suntopsand campers will provide some protection, but should notbe relied on if you are able to return to shore. Exercisecare when high winds are present!
OPERATION
Section APage 2
Freedom™/Horizon™ Owner’s Manual
DO NOT swim or dangle legs or arms into thewater during a lightning storm. Stay out of thewater!
Lightning will seek a ground when it strikes. Avoid con-tact with metal parts such as bow rails, control handle, orwindshield.
A - 7 DRUGS AND ALCOHOL
Please keep in mind that along with the fun of boatingcomes responsibility. As the owner or operator of a plea-sure boat, you are obligated (morally and legally) to usegood judgement while underway in providing for the safetyand well-being of your passengers and other boatersaround you.
A common and flagrant violation of good judgement andthe law by mariners involves the use of alcohol or drugs.Each year, about half of all accidents involving fatalitiesinvolve the use of alcohol or drugs.
It is a federal offense to operate a boat while intoxicated.Criminal penalties may include the termination of operat-ing privileges for up to one year. Many states have passedsimilar laws.
Alcohol or drugs have an inhibiting effect on the judge-ment and reaction time of the boat operator and his/herpassengers. Heed the advice of experts and statisti-cians...DO NOT drink or use drugs when operating a boat.NEVER allow an obviously intoxicated person to take thehelm.
Have fun in your Four Winns® boat but also, have thegood sense to be mentally alert and physically capableof operating the boat in a safe manner.
A - 8 PRE-CRUISE SYSTEM CHECK
Before leaving the dock, the following items should bechecked:
A. Before Starting The Engine
1. Check the weather forecast. Determine if the cruiseplanned can be made safely.
2. Be sure all necessary safety equipment is on boardand operative. This includes items such as the run-ning lights, horn, spotlight, life saving devices, etc.
3. Check the bilge water level and bilge pump operation.Check the engine and drive fluid levels. Look for othersigns of potential problems. Check for the scent offuel fumes.
4. Activate the Bilge Blower. Check the blower output.
Gasoline vapors can explode resulting in injuryor death. Before starting the engine, check en-gine compartment bilge for gasoline or vapors.Operate blower for four minutes, and verify bloweroperation. ALWAYS run the blower when thevessel is operating below cruising speed.
5. Ensure an adequate amount of fuel is on board.
6. Be sure you have sufficient water and other provisionson board for the cruise planned.
7. Leave a written message listing details of the plannedcruise with a close friend ashore.
B. After Starting The Engine
1. Visibly check the engine to be sure there are no ap-parent water or oil leaks.
2. Check the gauges. Make sure the oil pressure, watertemperature, voltmeter, etc. are reading normally.
3. Have a safe cruise and enjoy yourself.
A - 9 ENGINE OPERATIONAL PROCEDURESNotice: Consult engine manual. Addi-tional engine information is located inSection T.
A. Before Starting
1. Check the engine compartment for water, gas, and/oroil leaks of any kind. Keep the bilge in a clean condi-tion to prevent blower and bilge pump damage, andfire hazards.
2. Check the fluid levels of the engine oil and power steer-ing system daily. Fill oil or steering fluid as requiredby the indications on the dip sticks. Refer to Table 1:
Section APage 3

If engine floods:
• Disengage shift. Move handle to full throttle position.
• Turn key switch to the START position.
• Immediately move the throttle levers to the idle posi-tion when the engine starts.
NOTICEFailure to move the throttle handle to the idle po-sition immediately when engine starts will allowengine to “over-rev” and engine damage could re-sult. “Over-revving” engine after off-season stor-age could also damage the water pump impeller.When starting engine for the first time afteroff-season storage, always idle engine forone minute to allow the water pump to prime.
3. As soon as engine starts:
a. Release key to the ON or RUN position.
NOTICEPriming is not necessary for EFI engines. Referto the engine owner’s manual for additionalinformation.
E. Shifting and Control Speed
1. Move control handle to the neutral detent (idle) posi-tion. This will engage neutral start switch and allowengine to start.
DO NOT shift into FORWARD or REVERSE un-less engine is running. Damage to the shift sys-tem could result from trying to shift without theengine running. Carefully check function of allcontrol and engine systems before leaving thedock.
2. To go FORWARD - actuate the neutral lock mecha-nism and briskly move the shift handle forward. Throttlemovement will begin after forward gear engagement.
3. To go in REVERSE - actuate the neutral lock mecha-nism and briskly move the shift handle rearward.Throttle movement will begin after reverse gear en-gagement.
DO NOT shift from forward to reverse when theboat is planing.
NOTICEDO NOT shift if engine speed is above 800 RPM.
4. To go from FORWARD to REVERSE, or REVERSEto FORWARD; always pause at NEUTRAL and al-low engine speed to return to idle.
5. After shifting is completed, continue to move the con-trol handle slowly in the desired direction to increasespeed.
Any time the boat is operated, be aware ofchanges in shift system operation. A suddenincrease in shift effort at the remote controlhandle, or other abnormal operation, indicatesa possible problem in the shift system. If thisoccurs, the following precautions must be taken:
• With engine running and boat securely tiedto the dock, shift drive into forward and re-verse to ensure there is gear engagement.
• When docking the boat, all docking maneu-vers must be performed at slow speed. Payspecial attention to other boaters. Passen-gers should be informed of potential prob-lems and precautions taken.
If you suspect there is a problem, see your Volvo Penta/Mercruiser dealer as soon as possible for proper diagno-sis and required service or adjustment. Continued op-eration could result in damage to the shift mechanismand loss of control.
F. Stopping Engine
1. Move control handle to the NEUTRAL position.
2. Turn ignition key to the OFF position.
NOTICEDO NOT stop engine at speeds above idle or“speed up” engine while turning off ignition.Engine damage could result.

A - 11 BOATING EDUCATION
A. Boating Courses
Boating education classes are offered throughout the coun-try. The United States Coast Guard Auxiliary offers freecourses on different topics usually during the off-season.The most popular course is the “Boating Skills & Sea-manship Course,” and information can be obtained bycalling 1-800-336-BOAT.
The United States Power Squadron also offers free coursesranging from basic seamanship to celestial navigation.For information, contact your local Power Squadron, orwrite: U.S.P.S., P.O. Box 30423, Raleigh, NC 27622.
The Red Cross offers power boating and canoeing classes.Contact: Director of Water Safety, American National RedCross, 17th & D Streets N.W., Washington, DC 20006.
The Canadian Power and Sail Squadron offers seaman-ship courses. Information can be obtained by calling1-800-268-3579 (Canada only).
B. Boating Manuals or Literature
A good source of information is the U.S. Coast Guard’shome study book called “The Skipper’s Course”. Thisbook may be purchased through: Superintendent of Docu-ments, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC20402, Stock # 050-012-00159-6.
Another good source of boating information is Chapman’s“Piloting, Seamanship and Small Boat Handling”. Also,check the local library or bookstore for additional informa-tion on boating.
C. Charts and Maps
U.S. nautical charts are sold throughout the country atGovernmental Printing Office stores and other agents. Achart catalog is available by writing to: National Oceanicand Atmospheric Administration, National Ocean Survey,Rockville, MD 20852.
In addition, many federal agencies publish recreationalmaps, including the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers, theForest Service, the National Park Service, and the Ten-nessee Valley Authority.
A - 10 GROUNDING AND TOWING
If the boat should become disabled, or if assist-ing another craft that is disabled, great care mustbe taken. The stress applied to a boat duringtowing may become excessive. Excessivestress can damage the structure of the boat andcreate a safety hazard for those aboard.
Four Winns® boats are not designed nor intended to beused as a towing vessel. The mooring cleats onFour Winns® boats are not designed or intended to beused for towing purposes. These cleats are specificallydesigned as mooring cleats for securing the boat to adock, pier, etc. DO NOT use these fittings for towing orattempting to free a grounded vessel.
Freeing a grounded vessel or towing a boat that is dis-abled requires specialized equipment and knowledge.Line failure and structural damage caused by impropertowing have resulted in fatal injuries. Because of this,Four Winns strongly suggests that these activities beleft to those who have the equipment and knowledge suchas the U.S. Coast Guard, to safely accomplish the tow-ing task.
Running aground can cause serious damage toa boat and associated underwater gear. If theboat should become grounded, distribute per-sonal flotation devices and inspect the boat forpossible damage. Thoroughly inspect the bilgearea for signs of leakage. An experienced ser-vice facility should check the hull and underwatergear at the first opportunity. DO NOT continueto use the boat if the condition of the hull or un-derwater equipment is questionable.
If towing or being towed is absolutely necessary, use thestrongest lines available, and attach them to the boweyes or stern eyes only. Have all passengers slip on lifejackets and take a seat in the cabin or other protectedarea.
Lines can snap or other hardware can be loos-ened or broken while towing. Under certain con-ditions, this can cause severe injury or fatality.

Addresses of all state boating agencies are listed in “ABoater’s Guide”. For a free copy, write to: National Ma-rine Manufacturers Association, 401 N. Michigan Avenue,Chicago, IL 60611.
D. Laws and Regulations
The U.S. Coast Guard is the authority of the waterways;they are there to help the boating public. State boatingregulations are enforced by local authorities. You are sub-ject to marine traffic laws and “Rules of the Road” for bothfederal and state waterways; you must stop if signaled todo so by enforcement officers, and permit to be boarded ifasked.
There are many pamphlets, prepared by the Coast Guard,available to you. These pamphlets explain “Rules of theRoad,” signal lights, buoys, safety, international and in-land regulations and other information which goes beyondthe scope of this manual. For more information contactyour local U.S. Coast Guard Unit or call the Coast GuardBoating Safety Hotline at 1-800-368-5647.
A - 12 BOAT OWNER REGISTRATION
Federal and state laws require that every boat equippedwith propulsion machinery of any type must be registeredin the primary state of usage. Registration numbers andvalidation stickers must be displayed on the boat accord-ing to regulations. In most states, this means registrationwith the designated state agency. In a few jurisdictions,the Coast Guard retains registration authority. Your dealerwill either supply registration forms or tell you where theymay be obtained. The registration agency will issue you acertificate that must be carried on board when the boat isin use. Some states require additional registration whenan out of state boat is used within their boundaries.
Your boat has a hull identification number on the star-board side of the hull. Figure A1 shows a typical identifica-tion number. Use this hull identification number for regis-tration and to identify your boat for warranty service.
Figure A1: HIN
A - 13 INSURANCE
In most states, the boat owner is legally responsible fordamages or injuries he or she causes, even if someoneelse is operating the boat at the time of the accident.Common sense dictates that you carry adequate per-sonal liability and property damage insurance on yourboat, just as you would on an automobile. You shouldalso protect your investment by insuring your boat againstphysical damage or theft.
A - 14 ACCIDENT REPORTING
The operator of the boat is responsible for filing a reportwith the appropriate authorities. In general, reports arenecessary for accidents involving loss of life, injury, ordamage over $500. In the case of accidents with report-able injuries or death, a formal report is required within 48hours. If only property damage is involved, a report mustbe made within ten days. The 1971 Boating Safety Actmay impose a $1,000 civil fine for people who fail to sub-mit a boating accident report. Ask your insurance agentfor more information.
If you see a distress signal, you must assume it is a realemergency and render assistance immediately. The mas-ter or person in charge of a boat is obligated by law toprovide assistance to any individual in danger at sea. How-ever, you should not put your boat or crew in a dangerous
Section APage 7
Freedom™/Horizon™ Owner’s Manual
situation which exceeds your capabilities or those of yourboat. The 1971 Boating Safety Act grants protection to aGood Samaritan boater offering good faith assistance,and absolves a boater from any civil liability arising fromassistance given.
A - 15 DISCHARGE OF OIL
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act prohibits the dis-charge of oil waste into or upon the navigable waters ofthe United States or the waters of the contiguous zone ifsuch discharge causes a film or sheen upon or a discol-oration of the surface of the water or causes a sludge oremulsion beneath the surface of the water. Violators aresubject to a penalty of $5,000.
A - 16 DISPOSAL OF PLASTICS & OTHER GARBAGE
Plastic refuse dumped in the water can kill fish and ma-rine wildlife and can foul boat propellers and cooling waterintakes. Other forms of waterborne garbage can litter ourbeaches and make people sick. U.S. Coast Guard andmost state regulations prohibit the dumping of plasticrefuse or other garbage mixed with plastic into the wateranywhere, and restrict the dumping of other forms of gar-bage within specified distances from shore.
A - 17 MARPOL TREATY
Boats 26 feet or longer must display a sign stating thedisposal regulations of the Federal Water Pollution Con-trol Act. The U.S. Coast Guard has issued these regula-tions to implement Annex V of the International Conven-tion for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, 1973, com-monly known as Annex V of the MARPOL (Marine Pollu-tion) Treaty 73/78. They apply to all U.S. boats whereverthey operate (except waters under the exclusive jurisdic-tion of a State) and foreign boats operating in U.S. watersout to and including the Exclusive Economic Zone (200miles). It is important to know these regulations and ad-here to them.
The regulations require U.S. recreational boaters, if yourboat is 26 feet or more in length, to affix one or moreUSCG Trash Dumping Restrictions placards to your boat.The placard warns against the discharge of plastic andother forms of garbage within the navigable waters of theUnited States and specify discharge restrictions beyondthe territorial sea. (The territorial sea generally ends threenautical miles from the seashore.) In addition, the plac-
ard must contain the warning that a person who violatesthese requirements is liable to civil ($25,000) and crimi-nal (Imprisonment) penalties. The placard also must notethat State and local regulations may further restrict thedisposal of garbage.
Operators shall display one or more placards in a promi-nent location and in sufficient numbers so they can beobserved and read by crew and passengers. These loca-tions might include embarkation points, food service ar-eas, galleys, garbage handling spaces and common deckspaces frequented by crew and passengers. We recom-mend that these placards may be purchased from localmarinas, boat dealerships and marine equipment suppli-ers. A special placard is available for boats operating onthe Great Lakes.
IMPORTANT: It is illegal to discharge waste from yourmarine sanitary device (toilet) into the water in most ar-eas. It is your responsibility to be aware of and adhere toall local laws concerning waste discharge. Consult withthe Coast Guard, local marina or your dealer for addi-tional information.
NOTE: Some states and localities have legal limits onspeed, noise and trailer specifications. It is your respon-sibility to be aware of these laws and limits and to insurethat your boat (and trailer) comply. Consult with your lo-cal Marine Patrol or local Coast Guard office.

B - 1 GENERAL
As the owner/operator of the boat, you are responsiblefor assuring that all required safety equipment is aboard.You should also consider supplying additional equipmentas needed for your safety and that of your passengers.Check state and local regulations and call the U.S. CoastGuard Boating Safety Hotline at 1-800-368-5647 for in-formation about required safety equipment.
A. Required Safety Equipment
Most of the safety equipment required by federal regula-tions is provided as standard equipment. Personal Floata-tion Devices (life jackets) must fit the person wearing it.If local regulations require additional equipment, it mustbe approved by the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG). Mini-mum requirements include the following:
• Personal Floatation Devices• Visual Distress Signal• Bell or Whistle• Fire Extinguisher• Navigation Lights
NOTICEAs the owner/operator of the boat, you are re-sponsible for assuring that all required safetyequipment is aboard and meets the boating regu-lations as prescribed by both federal and localauthorities in your area.
B. Personal Floatation Devices (PFDs)
Federal regulations require that you have at least oneCoast Guard approved personal floatation device (PFD)for each person in a recreational boat. You should notuse your boat unless all PDFs are in serviceable condi-tion, readily accessible, legibly marked with the CoastGuard approval number, of an appropriate size (withinthe weight range and chest size marked on the PDF) foreach person aboard.
A PFD provides buoyancy to help keep your head abovethe water and to help you remain in a satisfactory posi-tion while in the water. Body weight and age should beconsidered when selecting a PFD. The buoyancy pro-vided by the PFD should support the person’s weight inthe water.
The size of the PFD should be appropriate for the wearer.Body weight or chest size are common methods usedto size PFDs. It is your responsibility to ensure thatyou have the proper number and types of PFDs on boardand that your passengers know where and how to usethem.
C. PFD Types
Five types of PFDs have been approved by the U.S.Coast Guard. The PFDs are described as follows:
PFD Type 1, Wearable (Figure B1) has the greatestrequired buoyancy. Its design allows for turning mostunconscious persons in the water from face down posi-tion to a vertical or slightly backward, face-up position.It can greatly increase the chances of survival. Type 1is most effective for all waters, especially offshore whenrescue may be delayed. It is also the most effective inrough waters.
Figure B1: Type I, Wearable
PFD Type II, Wearable (Figure B2) turns its wearer inthe same way as Type I, but not as effectively. TheType II does not turn as many persons under the sameconditions as a Type I. You may prefer to use this PFDwhere there is a probability of quick rescue such as inareas where other people are commonly involved in wa-ter activities.
Figure B2: Type II, Wearable
SAFETY & SAFETY EQUIPMENT
Section BPage 2
Freedom™/Horizon™ Owner’s Manual
PFD Type III, Wearable (Figure B3) allows the wearerto place themselves in a vertical or slightly backwardposition. It does not turn the wearer. It maintains thewearer in a vertical or slightly backward position andhas no tendency to turn the wearer face down. It hasthe same buoyancy as a Type II PFD and may be ap-propriate in areas where other people are commonly in-volved in water activities.
Figure B3: Type III, Wearable
PFD Type IV, Throwable (Figure B4) is required in ad-dition to the PFDs previously discussed. The most com-mon Type IV PFD is a buoyant cushion or ring buoy. Itis designed to be thrown to a person in the water, graspedand held by the user until he or she is rescued. A TypeIV PFD should always be in serviceable condition andimmediately available for use. Grasping this PFD maybe difficult if the rescue is delayed or if the user is over-come by hypothermia (loss of body heat).
Figure B4: Type IV, Throwable
PFD Type V, Wearable (Figure B5) when inflated, itprovides buoyancy equivalent to Type I, II, or III PFDs.When it is deflated, however, it may not support somepeople.
Figure B5: Type V, Wearable
D. PFD Pointers
The purpose of a PFD is to help save your life. If youwant it to support you when you are in the water, it needsto fit, float, and be in good condition.
1. Try the PFD on and adjust it until it fits comfortablyin and out of the water. Mark your PFD if you arethe only wearer.
2. To make sure the PFD works, wear it in the water.This will show you how it works and give you confi-dence when you use it.
3. Teach children how to put a PFD on and allow themto try it in the water. That way, they know what thePFD is for and how it works. They will feel morecomfortable with it if they suddenly find themselvesin the water.
4. If the PFD is wet, allow it to dry thoroughly beforestoring it. Do not dry it in front of a radiator or heater.Store it in a well ventilated area.
5. Keep PFDs away from sharp objects which can tearthe fabric or puncture the floatation pads.
6. For their own safety and the safety of others, allnonswimmers, poor swimmers, and small childrenshould wear PFD’s at all times, whether the boat isstationary or moving.
7. Check the PFD frequently to make sure that it isnot torn, that floatation pads have no leaks, and thatall seams and joints are securely sewn.
8. If a PFD contains kapok, the kapok fibers may be-come waterlogged and lose their buoyancy after thevinyl inserts are punctured. If the kapok becomeshard or if it is soaked with water, replace it. It maynot work when you need it.
E. Fire Extinguisher
As the owner/operator of the boat, you are responsiblefor supplying a fire extinguisher approved by the U.S.Coast Guard.
Hand-held portable extinguisher(s) should be mountedin a readily accessible location(s) away from the enginecompartment. All persons aboard should know thelocation(s) and proper operation of the fireextinguisher(s).
Section BPage 3
Freedom™/Horizon™ Owner’s Manual
G. Visual Distress Signal Devices
Visual distress signal devices approved by the U.S.Coast Guard are required on all recreational boats oper-ating on coastal waters and to boats owned in the UnitedStates when they are operating on the high seas. Coastalwaters include territorial seas and those waters directlyconnected to the Great Lakes and the territorial seas upto a point where the waters are less than two miles(3.2km) wide. Visual distress signal equipment may beof the pyrotechnic or non-pyrotechnic type. Regulationsprohibit display of visual distress signals on the waterunder any circumstances except when assistance isrequired to prevent immediate or potential danger to per-sons on board a vessel.
The equipment must be approved by the U.S. CoastGuard, be in serviceable condition, and be stowed in areadily accessible location. Equipment having a datefor serviceable life must be within the specified usagedate shown. Careful selection and proper stowage ofvisual distress equipment is very important if young chil-dren are aboard.

Distress Signal Table
The minimum visual distress signals required in coastalwaters for a Class 1 or Class 2 powerboat is the follow-ing:
One orange flag with black square-and disc (day-time); and an S-O-S electric light (nighttime);or three orange smoke signals, hand held orfloating (daytime); or three red flares of handheld, meteor, or parachute type (daytime/night-time).
NOTICENo single signaling device is appropriate for allpurposes. Consider keeping various types ofequipment on board.
Fire!In case of fire do not open the engine compart-ment. Shut down engine(s), generator(s), andblower(s). Models with fixed fire suppressionsystem will automatically discharge its entirecontents. If using portable CO2 fire extinguishercontinuously discharge entire contents. OnEuropean models, discharge contents throughfire port.
NOTICEUsing a portable fire extinguisher with an ac-cess/fire port in the engine compartment is pre-ferred to opening the engine compartment tofight the fire. However, using a portable extin-guisher in this way provides less protectionagainst fire than a fixed suppression system.
NOTICEDo not test fire extinguishers by squirting smallamounts of the extinguishing compound. Thefire extinguisher might not work when you re-ally need it.
The Freedom™ and Horizon™ models that measure 16to less than 26 feet are considered Class 1 powerboats.Since they have permanently installed fuel tanks, theyare required to carry one (1) B-1 type hand portable fireextinguisher. If the boat is equipped with a fixed fire ex-tinguishing system in the engine compartment, one (1)B-1 type hand portable fire extinguisher is still recom-mended.
Horizon™ models that are Class 2 powerboats (26 toless than 40 feet) are required to carry two (2) B-1 typeapproved hand portable fire extinguishers or one (1) B-2type approved hand portable fire extinguisher. When afixed fire extinguishing system is installed in machineryspace(s), at least one (1) B-1 type approved hand por-table fire extinguisher is recommended.
F. Fire Extinguisher System
An automatic FE241 agent fire extinguisher system isoptional on certain models. The equipment utilized hasbeen so chosen, and located, to provide sufficient volumeand coverage of the entire engine compartment. Whilethe system ensures excellent overall bilge fire protection,it does not eliminate the U.S.C.G. requirement forhand-held fire extinguishers. Refer to the manu-facturer’s literature included in the owner’s packet.

Freedom™/Horizon™ Owner’s Manual
B - 2 CARBON MONOXIDE
Carbon Monoxide!Carbon monoxide (CO) can be harmful or fatal ifinhaled. Brain damage or death can result fromprolonged exposure to carbon monoxide. Keepexhaust outlets clear of blockage. Provide ad-equate ventilation. Open hatches, doors, win-dows and vents to insure adequate ventilation.Close engine compartment doors and hatcheswhen engine or generator is running. Avoidoperating the boat for extended periods of timeat idle speed, and be sensitive to weather con-ditions that may prevent CO from dissipatinginto the air. Do not stand or swim near engineor generator exhausts when engines are run-ning.
Carbon monoxide accumulation is affected by many vari-ables (e.g., boat geometry, hatch, window and door open-ing, ventilation openings, proximity to other structures,swim platforms, canvas enclosures, location of exhaustoutlets, vessel attitude, wind direction, vessel speed, boatsystems maintenance, etc.) The technical informationincluded in this section is to inform the boat owner ofpossible cause and effects of carbon monoxide expo-sure. This information has been reprinted with permis-sion from the American Boat and Yacht Council’s (ABYC)technical information report: “Educational InformationAbout Carbon Monoxide”. This information pertains to allgasoline powered boats manufactured by Four Winns.
NOTICEThe boat owner should be aware that other fac-tors may contribute to carbon monoxide accu-mulation. The most common ones are listed inthis section. If a person is exhibiting carbonmonoxide-type symptoms (Refer to B-2E Symp-toms), be sure to take the necessary precau-tions as prescribed later in this section.
A. Properties and Characteristics of CarbonMonoxide
1. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless and taste-less gas. It is commonly referred to as CO.
2. Its weight is about the same as air so it cannot beexpected to rise or fall like some other gases, butwill distribute itself throughout the space.
H. Sound Signaling Devices
Class 1 and Class 2 powerboats are required to carry ahand, mouth or power operated horn or whistle. It mustproduce a blast of two-second duration and audible at adistance of at least one-half (1/2) mile.
The following are standard whistle signals:
• One Prolonged Blast Warning Signal• One Short Blast Pass on my Port Side• Two Short Blasts Pass on my Starboard Side• Three Short Blasts Engines in Reverse• Five or More Blasts Danger Signal
I. Navigation Lights
Navigation lights are intended to keep other vessels in-formed of your presence and course. If you are out onthe water between sunset and sunrise, you are requiredto display appropriate navigation lights.
J. Additional Recommended Equipment
Four Winns recommends that you acquire additionalequipment for safe, enjoyable cruising. This list, whichis not all inclusive, includes items you should consideracquiring.
Basic GearFlashlight Spare batteries Tow lineOar, paddle Mooring lines CompassDock fenders Distress signals First aid kitBoat hook VHF radio EPIRB*Sunscreen Extra warm clothing ChartsSecond anchor & lineDewatering device (pump or bailer)

Gear For Extended CruisesFoul weather gear Parallel rulers DividersLoran or Global Positioning System navigation equipment
Section BPage 5
Freedom™/Horizon™ Owner’s Manual
NOTICEDO NOT rely on the use of smell or sight of othergases to detect CO, because it diffuses in theair much more rapidly than easily detectablevapors (i.e. visible and aromatic vapors).
B. What Makes Carbon Monoxide
Any time a material containing carbon burns such asgasoline, natural gas, oil, propane, coal, or wood, CO isproduced.
Common sources of carbon monoxide are:
1. Internal combustion engines.
2. Open flame devices such as:
a. Cooking rangesb. Central heating plantsc. Space heatersd. Water heaterse. Fireplacesf. Charcoal grills
C. How a Person is Affected by CarbonMonoxide
Carbon monoxide is absorbed by the lungs and reactswith blood hemoglobin to form carboxyhemoglobin, whichreduces the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood. Theresult is a lack of oxygen for the tissues with the subse-quent tissue death and, if exposure is prolonged, deathof the individual.
D. Effects of Carbon Monoxide
Carbon monoxide in high concentrations can be fatal in amatter of minutes. Lower concentrations must not beignored because the effects of exposure to CO are cumu-lative and can be just as lethal.
Certain health related problems and age will increase theeffects of CO. People who smoke or are exposed to highconcentrations of cigarette smoke, consume alcohol orhave lung disorders or heart problems, are particularlysusceptible to an increase in the effects from CO. How-ever, all occupants’ health should be considered. Physi-cal exertion accelerates the rate at which the blood ab-sorbs CO.
E. Symptoms
One or more of the following symptoms can signal theadverse effect of CO accumulation:
1. Watering and itchy eyes2. Flushed appearance3. Throbbing temples4. Inattentiveness5. Inability to think coherently6. Loss of physical coordination7. Ringing in the ears8. Tightness across the chest9. Headache10. Drowsiness11. Incoherence12. Slurred speech13. Nausea14. Dizziness15. Fatigue16. Vomiting17. Collapse18. Convulsions
NOTICEThe order of the above list is generally the se-quence of appearance of symptoms. However,the order of appearance may change for differentpeople.
NOTICEThe symptoms of carbon monoxide poison-ing may easily be mistaken for seasickness.
F. Treatment (Evaluate, Ventilate, Evacuate, Inves-tigate, Take Corrective Action)
1. Evaluate the situation and ventilate the area if pos-sible.
2. Evacuate the area and move affected person(s) to afresh air environment.
3. Observe the victim(s).
4. Administer oxygen if available.
5. Contact medical help. If the victim is not breathing,perform rescue breathing or approved cardiopulmo-nary resuscitation (CPR), as appropriate, until medi-cal help arrives and takes over.
Section BPage 6
Freedom™/Horizon™ Owner’s Manual
NOTICEPrompt action can make the difference betweenlife and death.
6. Investigate source of CO and take corrective action.
G. Inspection
Look and listen for leaks in the exhaust systems of boththe generator and propulsion engine(s). Look for discol-oration around joints in the system (water leaks, carbon,stains, etc.).
1. Make sure all exhaust clamps are in place and se-cured.
2. Make sure ventilation systems work and are not ob-structed or restricted.
3. Make sure gaps around the engine room plumbingand cableways and exhaust system doors, hatches,and access panels are minimized to reduce the op-portunity for CO to enter the accommodation space(s).
H. Operation
Cold Start vs. Warm Start: CO production is greater whilethe combustion chamber surfaces and gas passages arecold versus when they are warm. A boat operator should:
1. Pay attention to ventilating the boat.
2. Orient the boat so it will allow the maximum dissipa-tion of CO.
3. Minimize the time spent on getting underway.
4. In order to minimize CO buildup, do not warm up orrun propulsion engine(s) for extended periods whilethe vessel is stationary.
The following are examples of possible situa-tions where carbon monoxide can accumulatewithin your boat while docked, anchored, or un-derway. Become familiar with these examplesand their precautions to prevent dangerousaccidents or death.
I. Boathouses, Sea Walls and Confined Spaces
A boat operator should be aware that dangerous concen-trations of CO can accumulate when a boat, generator orother engine operated device is operated while the boatis moored in a confined area such as:
1. Boathouses,
2. Proximity to sea walls, or
3. Proximity to other boats.
Keep engine room hatches and doors closed when op-erating engines, including the generator.
Pay attention to prevailing conditions and provide forventilation to induce fresh air and minimize exhaust re-entry. Orient the boat for maximum dissipation of theexhaust. DO NOT run the boat or boat equipment forextended periods under these conditions. See FigureB6.
Be aware that cockpit and deck drains can be a sourceof CO ingress into boats, especially boats with cockpitor decks enclosed with canvas or permanent boat struc-tures.
J. The Effect of Boats Moored Along Side
A boat operator should be aware that carbon monoxide isemitted from any boat’s exhaust. The operation, moor-ing, and anchoring in an area containing other boats maybe in an atmosphere containing CO not of the operator’smaking. An operator likewise needs to be aware of theeffect of their boat on other boats in the area. Of primeconcern is the operation of an auxiliary generator whereboats are moored along side each other. Be aware of theeffect your exhaust may have on other boats and be awarethat the operation of other boats’ equipment may affectthe carbon monoxide concentration on your boat. SeeFigure B7.
Figure B6: The effect of sea walls and other confined spaces.
Section BPage 7
Freedom™/Horizon™ Owner’s Manual
Figure B9: Inefficient trim angles.
3. Canvas Configurations - Under various conditions, add-ing or removing canvas may raise or lower CO levels.See Figures B8, B9 & B11.
Exhaust Fumes!Hull exhaust from your boat can cause exces-sive accumulation of poisonous carbon monox-ide gas within cockpit areas when using protec-tive weather coverings (while underway or whilestationary). Provide adequate ventilation whenthe canvas top, side curtains and/or back (aft)curtains are in their closed protective positions.
4. Opening and closing ports, hatches, doors, and win-dows may raise or lower CO levels on board a boat.When airflow is moving forward inside the boat, COmay be entering the boat. See Figures B10 and B11.
Figure B10: Desired air flow through the boat.
Figure B11: The effect of canvas configurations.
5. Operating a boat at slow speeds with a following windshould be avoided. Consider changing direction,adjusting speed, or both. See Figures B12.
Figure B7: The effect of boats moored along side.
K. Backdrafting (Station Wagon Effect)
Backdrafting or the “station wagon effect” is caused byair movement over or around a boat creating a low pres-sure area or suction area around the stern that can in-crease CO level on the boat. Backdrafting can be af-fected by relative wind direction , boat speed, and boattrim angle. See Figure B8 Backdrafting - Airflows OverBoat and Behind Transom”.
Under certain speed and operating conditions the lowpressure area may form in other regions and permit car-bon monoxide to enter the hull through openings thatare not on the back of the boat. Boat factors which mayaffect CO concentration:
Figure B8: Backdrafting - Air flows over boat and behind transom.
1. Intentional or unintentional excessive trim anglecausing high bow angle. See Figure B9.
2. Excessive or unequally distributed weight.
Section BPage 8
Freedom™/Horizon™ Owner’s Manual
Figure B12: Operating at Slow Speed with Following Wind
6. Be aware that cockpit and deck drains can be asource of CO ingress into boats, especially boatswith cockpit or decks enclosed with canvas or per-manent boat structures.
L. Accumulation of Exhaust Gases-Swim Platform
When the propulsion engine(s) or generator is running,CO is produced and may remain in the vicinity of theexhaust outlet (including underwater exhaust outlets suchas sterndrives and outboards):
1. Do not occupy aft lounging area(s) or swim platform.
2. Do not swim under or around swim platform.
3. Do not swim in the vicinity of the exhaust outlet.
Refer to Figure B13.
Figure B13: Exhaust Gas Accumulation at Swim Platform
M. Dangerous Activity - “Teak Surfing”/“Dragging”
Do not sit on, occupy or hang on any stern appendages(e.g., swim platforms, boarding ladders, etc.) while un-derway. Do not body surf, commonly known as “teaksurfing” or “dragging”, etc. in the wake of the boat. Donot tow persons in close proximity to the stern of theboat. See Figure B14. This activity can also increasethe possibility of injury due to contact with a rotating pro-peller.
Figure B14: Exhaust Gas Accumulation-Dangerous Activity
N. Cabin Appliances
Boats having fuel burning appliances in accommodationareas should be provided with adequate ventilation and theappliance should be maintained to function properly.
O. Ventilation of Accommodation (Occupied) Spaces
Accommodation spaces need to be ventilated to introducefresh air into the spaces. Ventilation methods (e.g. win-dows, hatches, doors, and blowers) used to accomplishthis may, under certain conditions, bring hazardous levelsof CO into the occupied spaces. Care should be taken tobe aware of all prevailing conditions when using these ven-tilating methods.
P. Running of Engines in Idle
Engines running in idle exhaust carbon monoxide thatcan accumulate near the hull of the boat. Do not stand orswim near the engine exhaust or outdrive when enginesare idling or generator is running.
Q. Altitude and Sea Conditions
Operation at altitudes greater than 5,000 feet contributesto inefficient engine performance and may require adjust-ments to the ignition systems, fuel systems, or changingthe propeller’s size or gear ratio.
1. Failure to make adjustments to ignition systems and/or fuel systems for altitude conditions may cause anincrease in CO production.
2. Reduced power resulting from increased altitude mayrequire adjustments to propeller size.
3. Heavy sea or out of trim conditions tend to load en-gines resulting in reduced performance and therebyincreasing their CO production.
Section BPage 9
Freedom™/Horizon™ Owner’s Manual
4. General
a. Worn piston rings and valves
b. Engine temperature - Cold running engines in-crease CO production. Engine cooling water sys-tem design and selection of thermostat(s) areprimary considerations affecting engine operat-ing temperature. Generally, an engine producesless CO if it operates at a relatively high tem-perature within manufacturer’s specifications.
c. Exhaust Back-Pressure - Certain alterations tothe exhaust system may increase engine ex-haust back pressure and CO production.
d. Restricted engine room or compartment ventila-tion
T. Maintenance - External Conditions
External conditions that contribute to inefficient engineperformance can include:
1. Fouled hull bottom
2. Damaged and fouled running gear (i.e., shaft, strutpropeller, rudder and trim tabs)
3. Incorrect selection of propeller size
U. Maintenance - Exhaust System Integrity
Gas tight integrity of exhaust systems must be main-tained to insure that leakage of CO within the boat doesnot occur. Disassembly may be required to carry out athorough inspection. Repair or replace components asindicated. Inspect the following:
1. Gaskets at cylinder head connection
2. Casting and pipe fittings in the dry section
3. All joints
4. Hoses
5. Clamps
6. Mufflers and their drain plugs
7. Thru-hull fittings
8. Hangers and other supports
R. Portable Generator Sets
Never use a portable generator on a boat.
Gasoline powered portable generators are available in themarine market place and are not an option available throughFour Winns. Portable generators will produce CO. Thesesets discharge their exhaust products in locations whichcan cause accumulation of carbon monoxide in the accom-modation space. Do not use gasoline powered por-table generators on Four Winns® boats.
S. Maintenance - Engine Performance
Efficient engine performance is vital to minimizing CO pro-duction. The following items are those considered to havethe greatest effect on increased CO production:
1. Fuel Systems - Fuel that is contaminated, stale orincorrect octane number
2. Carburetors/Injectors
a. Dirty or clogged flame arrester
b. Malfunctioning automatic choke plate or faultyadjustment of manual choke plate
c. Worn float needle valve and seat
d. High float level
e. Incorrect idle mixture adjustment
f. Dirty or worn injectors
3. Ignition System
a. Fouled or worn spark plug.
b. Worn points or incorrect gap on points
c. Shorted or opened circuit high tension spark plugcables
d. Incorrect ignition timing.

Freedom™/Horizon™ Owner’s Manual
B - 3 SAFE BOATING PRACTICES
NOTICEYOU are responsible for your own safety, thesafety of your passengers, and the safety offellow boaters.
A. Drugs and Alcohol
Alcohol consumption and boating do notmix! Operating under the influence endan-gers the lives of your passengers and otherboaters. Federal laws prohibit operating aboat under the influence of alcohol ordrugs.
Do not use drugs or drink alcohol while operating a boat.Like driving a car, driving a boat requires sober, attentivecare. Operating a boat while intoxicated or under theinfluence of drugs is not only dangerous, but it is also aFederal offense carrying a significant penalty. Theselaws are vigorously enforced. The use of drugs and al-cohol, singly or in combination, decreases reaction time,impedes judgement, impairs vision, and inhibits yourability to operate a boat.
B. Safe Operation
Safe operation means that you do not misuse your boatnor do you allow your passengers to do so. Safe opera-tion means using good judgement at all times. It in-cludes, without limitation, the following actions:
• Observe all safety signs and warnings both inside the boat and in the immediate boating area.
• Become familiar with, and adhere to, the “Rules of the Road”.
• Maintain boat speed at or below the legal limits. Avoid excessive speed or speeds not appropriate for operating conditions.
• Be sure at least one other passenger is familiar with the operation and the safety aspects of the boat in case of an emergency.
• Load the boat within the limits listed on the capacity plate. Balance loads bow and stern and port to starboard.
V. Maintenance - Ventilation Systems
Boats are equipped with ventilation systems to elimi-nate gasoline vapors. Blowers and fans may also beprovided for ventilation and to mitigate the migration ofCO into occupied compartments. Attention should bepaid to the following:
1. Keeping ventilation intakes clear of debris
2. Replacing damaged hardware
3. Maintaining the integrity of the ducting material andits connections
4. Ensuring that position of ducting intake is not ob-structed or restricted, collapsed, kinked, or crushed
5. Eliminating sags in ducting that can form a watertrap
6. Checking hangers and other supports
7. Ensuring blower/fan is operational
8. Ensuring that airflow is present at discharge
9. Inspecting wiring to equipment
W. Maintenance - Bulkhead and Deck Integrity
1. Seal all visible openings (e.g., cracks, crevices,holes, including openings around wiring and pipingruns) in bulkheads and decks that separate machin-ery compartments from occupied compartments.These openings can permit migration of CO vapors.
2. Check gaskets and sealing surfaces on hatches,doors, and access panels.
X. Maintenance - Liquid Drains
Sink, shower and condensate drains can be a source ofCO ingress. Ensure that water traps are present andcontain fluid. These traps may be in the form of a doubleloop in the drain line or prefabricated p-traps. Any drainthat terminates below the waterline is, by virtue of itsdesign, sealed against CO intrusion. Some drains thatare below the waterline when boat is underway will beabove the waterline when the boat is at rest. The loca-tion of drains, relative to the waterline, can be affectedby the dynamics of boat motion (i.e., underway or atrest).
Section BPage 11
Freedom™/Horizon™ Owner’s Manual
• Do not use the boat in bad weather or sea conditions beyond the skill or experience of the operator or the comfortable capability of the boat or passengers.
• Make sure the passengers and gear do not obstruct the operator’s view or impede his ability to move.
• Do not exceed the maximum engine power rating stated on the certification plate located inside the boat.
C. Passenger Safety
Before getting underway, show all passengers whereemergency and safety equipment is stowed, and ex-plain how to use it. Everyone aboard should wear rub-ber-soled shoes which resist slipping on wet surfaces.While underway, passengers should remain seated in-side the deck rails and gates. Do not allow passengersto drag their feet or hands in the water. Always usehandholds and other safety hardware to prevent falls.All nonswimmers, poor swimmers and small childrenshould wear PFDs at all times.
D. Propeller
Personal Injury!Do not allow anyone near a propeller, even whenthe engine is off. Propeller blades can be sharpand continue to turn even after the engine isshut off. Do not allow anyone near the propellerwhen the throttle is in neutral position. Acci-dently engaging the shift can result in a seriousinjury or death. (See actual ladder warning la-bels and helm boarding ladder warning labelbelow.)
Never approach or use ladder when motor isrunning. Severe injury or death will result fromcontact with rotating propeller.
Ladder Warning Label
Shut off motor when near swimmers. Severeinjury or death will result from contact with ro-tating propeller.
Helm Boarding Ladder Warning Label
When pulling skiers do not turn on the engineuntil you are at least a boat length away fromthe person in the water. When approaching adowned skier, turn off the engine at least oneboat length away before reaching the skier inthe water.
E. First Aid
As a boater, you should be familiar with the basic firstaid procedures that may be needed while you are out farfrom help. Fish hook accidents or minor cuts and abra-sions may be the most serious mishaps on board aboat but you should also learn the proper proceduresand be ready to deal with the truly serious problems likemouth-to-mouth resuscitation, excessive bleeding, hy-pothermia, and burns. First aid literature and coursesare available through most Red Cross chapters.
F. Operation By Minors
Minors should always be supervised by an adult when-ever operating a boat. Many states have laws regardingthe minimum age and licensing requirements of minors.Be sure to check local laws or contact the state boatingauthorities for information.
G. “Rules of the Road”
As a responsible boater, you must comply with the “Rulesof the Road,” the marine traffic laws enforced by theU.S. Coast Guard. Navigating a boat is much the sameas driving an automobile. Operating either one respon-sibly means complying with a set of rules intended toprevent accidents. Just as you assume other car driv-ers know what they are doing, other boaters assumeyou know what you are doing. Information regardingnavigational rules and the “Rules of the Road” are dis-cussed in further detail in C-1 & C-2 of the next section.

A. Water Sport Guidelines
Everyone participating in a water sport should observethese guidelines:
1. Allow only capable swimmers to take part inany water sport.
2. Always wear a personal floatation device (PFD)approved by the U.S. Coast Guard. Wearing aproperly designed PFD helps a stunned or un-conscious person stay afloat.
3. Be considerate of others you share the waterwith.
4. Give immediate attention to a person who hasfallen. He or she is vulnerable in the water aloneand may not be seen by other boaters.
5. Approach a person in the water from the lee side(opposite the direction of the wind). Turn offthe motor at least a boat length from theperson.
6. Turn engine off and anchor before swimming.
7. Always participate in water sports in safe ar-eas. Stay away from other boats, beaches, re-stricted areas, swimmers and heavily traveledwaterways.
8. Swim only in areas designated as safe for swim-ming. These are usually marked with a swimarea buoy (see Figure B15). Do not swim aloneor at night.
Figure B15: Swim Area Buoy
Rotating Propeller!Rotating propeller can cut or sever causing seri-ous injury or death. Shut engine off and removeignition key when anyone is swimming nearby.(See Section B-3D.)
H. Voluntary Inspections
State boating officials in many states or the U.S. CoastGuard Auxiliaries offer courtesy inspections to check outyour craft. They will check for compliance with safetystandards and required safety equipment. You may vol-untarily consent to one of these inspections, and you areallowed to make corrections without prosecution. Checkwith the appropriate state agency or the Coast Guard Aux-iliary for details.
I. Safe Boating Courses
The local U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary and the U.S. PowerSquadrons offer comprehensive safe boating classes sev-eral times a year. You may contact the Boat/U.S. Foun-dation at 1-800-336-BOAT (2628) or, in Virginia, 1-800-245-BOAT (2628) for a course scheduled in your area.Also contact the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary or PowerSquadron Flotilla for the time and place of their next sched-uled class.
B - 4 WATER SPORTS
Personal Injury!Four Winns® boats are not designed for andshould not be used for pulling parasails, kites,gliders or any device which can become airborne.Use boat only for appropriate water sports. (SeePreface for actual warning label.)
Water skiing, kneeboarding, wakeboarding or riding atowed, inflatable apparatus are some of the more popularwater sports. Taking part in any water sport requires in-creased safety awareness by the participant and the boatoperator. If you have never pulled someone behind yourboat before, it is a good idea to spend some hours as anobserver, working with and learning from an experienceddriver. It is also important to be aware of the skill andexperience of the person being pulled. Always have asecond person on board to observe the person in the wa-ter so the driver can concentrate on operating the boat.
Section BPage 13
Freedom™/Horizon™ Owner’s Manual
7. Give immediate attention to a person who has fallen.He or she is vulnerable in the water alone and maynot be seen by other boaters.
8. Approach a person in the water from the lee side(opposite the direction of the wind). Stop the motorat least a boat length from the person.
9. Turn off engine and anchor your boat before swim-ming.
Rotating Propeller!Rotating propeller can cut or sever causing seri-ous injury or death. Switch engine off before ski-ers enter the water and before taking skiers aboard.Do not leave engine running in neutral. Ac-cidently engaging shift can seriously injure skier.
10. Do not water ski between sunset and sunrise. It isillegal in most states.
For more information about water skiing, please contactthe American Water Ski Association, 799 Overlook Drive,Winter Haven, FL. 33884 or call 1-800-533-2972.
9. Do not allow anyone near the propeller(s), evenwhen the engine is off. Propeller blades are sharpand can continue to turn even after the engine isoff. Stay at least 150 feet away from areasmarked by diver down float. See Figure B16.
Figure B16: Diver Down Float
10. Do not drive the boat directly behind a waterskier. At 25 miles per hour, the boat will over-take a fallen skier who was 200 feet in front inabout 5 seconds.
B. Water Skiing
The popular sport of water skiing has brought a spe-cial set of safety precautions to observe in boating.The following guides help prevent accidents while wa-ter skiing.
1. Water ski only in safe areas, away from otherboats and swimmers, out of channels, and inwater free of underwater obstructions.
2. Allow no one who can not swim to water ski.Skiers must wear a USCG approved floatationdevice. A Type III water-ski vest is an approvedand practical PFD.
3. Have a second person aboard to observe theskier and inform the driver about the skier’s handsignals (Figure B17). The driver must give fullattention to operating the boat and the watersahead.
4. Give immediate attention to a fallen skier. Becareful not to swamp the boat while taking theskier on board.
5. Always participate in water sports in safe areas.Stay away from other boats, beaches,swimmers, and heavily traveled waterways.
6. Be considerate of others you share the waterwith.

C - 1 GENERAL
Basic rules of seamanship, general information aboutnavigational aids, and sources for additional reading andboater education are presented in this portion of yourowner’s manual.
A. Boating Regulations
The U.S. Coast Guard is the authority of the waterways.State boating regulations are enforced by local authori-ties. Your boat is subject to the marine traffic laws knownas “Rules of the Road,” which are enforced by the U.S.Coast Guard. You are subject to marine traffic laws and“Rules of the Road” for both federal and state water-ways; you must stop if signaled to do so by enforce-ment officers, and permit them to board if asked. The“Rules of the Road” can be obtained from the local U.S.Coast Guard Unit or the United States Coast GuardHeadquarters by calling (202) 512-1800 or faxing yourrequest to (202) 512-2250, and asking for the publica-tion titled “Navigational Rules, International-Inland.
Many pamphlets prepared by the Coast Guard are avail-able. They explain signal lights, buoys, safety, interna-tional and inland regulations and other information whichgoes beyond the scope of this manual. “Aids to Naviga-tion” (U.S. Coast Guard pamphlet #123) explains thesignificance of various lights and buoys. Because ofproposed alterations to buoys and markers, contact theU.S. Coast Guard to stay informed of changes. Otherpamphlets, including the “Boating Safety TrainingManual” and “Federal Requirements For RecreationalBoats,” are also available from the U.S. Coast GuardHeadquarters.
NOTICEThe spoken word “MAYDAY” is the internationalsignal for distress. “MAYDAY” should NEVERbe used unless there is grave or imminent dan-ger, and you are in need of immediate assis-tance.
Figure C1: Meeting Head-On
B. Rules of Seamanship
1. Right-of-way
In general, boats with less maneuverability have right-of-way over a more agile craft. You must stay out ofthe way of the following vessels:

2. Meeting Head-On
When two boats meet head-on neither boat has right-of-way. Both boats should decrease speed, sound oneshort blast and pass; port to port. For starboard to star-board passing, each vessel should sound two short hornblasts and pass starboard to starboard. See Figure C1.

3. Crossing Situations
In a crossing situation, the boat on the right from the 12-4 o’clock position has the right-of-way. It must holdcourse and speed. The boat without the right-of-waymust keep clear and pass to the stern. See Figure C2.
Figure C2: Crossing Situation
4. Overtaking
The boat overtaking the one ahead must yield the right-of-way to the boat being passed. The overtaking boatmust make necessary adjustments to keep out of itspath. The boat being passed should hold its course andspeed. See Figure C3.
Figure C3: Overtaking
5. The General Prudential Rule
The general prudential rule regarding right-of-way is thatif a collision appears unavoidable, neither boat has right-of-way. As prescribed in the “Rules of the Road”, bothboats must act to avoid collision.
6. Night Running
Boats operating between sunset and sunrise (hours varyby state), or in conditions of reduced visibility, must usenavigational lights. Nighttime operation, especially dur-ing bad weather or fog, can be dangerous. All “Rules ofthe Road” apply at night, but it is best to slow down andstay clear of all boats regardless of who has right-of-way.
To see more easily at night, avoid bright lights whenpossible. Also, it is helpful to have a passenger keepwatch for other boats, water hazards, and navigationalaids.
To determine the size, speed and direction of other ves-sels at night, you should use running lights. A greenlight indicates the starboard side, and the red light indi-cates the port side. Generally, if you see a green light,you have the right-of-way; if you see a red light, give wayto the other vessel. See Figure C4.
Figure C4: Night Running
7. Whistle Signal
Out on the water, whistle signals are commonly used.Although using a whistle signal is not necessary everytime a boat is nearby, operators must signal their inten-tions when necessary to avoid potentially confusing or

Section CPage 3
Freedom™/Horizon™ Owner’s Manual
Buoys are red or green floating ATONS. If lighted, theyhave either red or green lights. Unlighted green buoys,called cans, look like cylinders. Unlighted red nun buoyshave a cone shaped top with their points cut off. Donot pass too close to a buoy. You may foul the propellerin its chain.
NOTICEBuoys are anchored floating objects and maynot always be in exactly the same position.
Daymarks are red or green boards with numbers. Theyare on posts or groups of pilings tied together and calleddolphins. Daymarks and their supports are daybeacons.Daybeacons may or may not have lights. If a red orgreen daybeacon has a light, it is the same color as themarker-red or green. Red daymarks are triangular andhave even numbers. Green daymarks are square andhave odd numbers.
Red, Right, Returning is a basic rule to assist you inusing lateral markers. When you are returning fromseaward , keep red markers on the starboard (right) sidewhen you pass them. Keep green markers to the portside.
Returning from seaward is very clear if you have been onthe ocean. You are returning to port. By agreement,going upstream on a navigational river is returning fromseaward. The outlet ends of the Great Lakes are alsothe seaward ends. Traveling from a large body of waterto a smaller one is considered returning from seaward.
C. Safe Water Markers
Safe water markers have vertical red and white stripesand mark the center of navigable channels and fairways.Safe water markers included both lighted and unlightedbuoys and daymarks. If a marker is lighted, the light iswhite and flashes the letter “A” is Morse Code.
Preferred Channel markers have horizontal red and greenbands. If lighted, the color of the light is the same asthe top of the band. They show the preferred channel foryou to use at a junction point. Be sure to notice thecolor of the top of the band, and treat it as any othermarker you would of that color. If the band is red andyou are returning from seaward, keep the marker to theright.
Most lights on markers flash on and off. Others such aslights on aids with no lateral significance are fixed. Theystay on all night. ATON lights flash in regular patterns.
hazardous situations. Use whistle blasts early enoughto be noticed and understood by other boaters.
It is customary for the privileged boat to signal first andthe yielding boat to return the same signal to acknowl-edge she understands and will comply. Use the dangersignal (five or more short and rapid blasts) if intent is notclear. A short blast is one (1) or two (2) seconds long. Along blast is four (4) to six (6) seconds long. The Navi-gational Aids Chart at the end of this section lists themeanings of the various whistle signals.
C - 2 NAVIGATIONAL AIDS
Aids to navigation (ATONS) help you to travel safely onthe water. They help you get from one place to anotherand are most helpful if you have a nautical chart. Anavigational aids chart is at the end of this section.
NEVER tie your vessel to an ATON. It is illegalbecause it blocks the ATON from view of otherboaters. Decreased visibility can contribute toa serious accident which may result in propertydamage, personal injury, or death.
There are two ATON systems. The system used onfederal waters is known as the International Associationof Lighthouse Authorities System B (IALA-B). The CoastGuard maintains this system. The second system isthe Uniform State Waterway Marking System (USWMS).This system is maintained by state authorities.
A. International Association of Lighthouse Authorities System B (IALA-B)
IALA-B uses four types of ATONS. This section dis-cusses the two most common markers: lateral markersand safe water markers. Other federal markers includespecial markers and isolated danger markers. The Navi-gational Aids Chart at the end of this section showsthese aids.
B. Lateral Markers
Lateral markers indicate the sides of navigable chan-nels. They consist of lighted can or nun buoys anddaymarks. Each has a number and is either red or green.The numbers on the green markers are odd. Red mark-ers have even numbers.
Section CPage 4
Freedom™/Horizon™ Owner’s Manual
G. Anchoring
The weight of the anchor and diameter of anchor lineshould be governed by the size and weight of your boat.Keep anchor secure while underway to prevent damageor injury due to sudden shifting in the boat’s attitude.
Use two or more anchors if anchoring overnight or forextended periods. If not using two anchors, make cer-tain there is sufficient clearance for your boat to swingin a full circle to prevent damage in case of shifting winds.
Make certain you have enough anchor line (or scope) forthe depth of water. Your anchor line should be 6 to 7times the depth of water anchored in. For example, ifyou are in 20 feet of water, use 120 to 140 feet of anchorline.
Secure anchor line to bow eye or deck cleat.Never tie anchor line to a rail, rail fitting or otherhardware not designed to support this stress.
To drop anchor:
Approach your selected anchoring site from downwindand come to a dead stop over the spot where you wantto drop anchor. Lower the anchor manually or by usingthe windlass if applicable.
Maneuver the boat slowly backwards until length of an-chor line is 6 or 7 times the depth of the water.
Fasten the anchor line around the bow eye or deck cleat.Anchor flukes should dig in and catch. Watch for an-chor drag by checking shoreline landmarks at the timethe anchor is dropped and one-half hour later. If the boathas drifted away from these reference marks, the an-chor is dragging and must be reset.
To weigh anchor:
Start the engine running before pulling in anchor.
Slowly maneuver the boat forward to reduce tension onthe line and make retrieval of the anchor line easier.
Raise the anchor manually or by using the windlass ifapplicable. Make sure the chain stop is engaged if wind-lass is used. Properly stow anchor and anchor line.
For example, they may flash every three seconds, or ingroups such as two flashes and a pause. There are anumber of flashing patterns, which help you identify thelight at night. To identify a light, note its color and pat-tern or timing of flashes, and compare it to your chart tofind its location.
D. The Uniform State Waterway Marking System
This section discusses three kinds of markers in thissystem: Regulatory, Informational, and Lateral.
Regulatory markers in this system are either signs orbuoys. Signs are square with orange borders. Regula-tory buoys are white and shaped like cylinders. Theyhave horizontal orange bands near their tops and justabove the water’s surface. An orange circle on a markermeans a controlled area. A message such as ”No Wake,Idle Speed, No Skiing, or 5 M.P.H.” may appear on amarker. An orange diamond means danger. If a dia-mond has an orange cross inside it, do not enter thearea. The reason you should stay out, such as “SwimArea” may be printed in black on the marker.
Informational Markers are white signs with orange bor-ders. They give information such as direction, distance,and location.
Lateral markers in the USWMS system are either num-bered red or black buoys. Black buoys may have greenreflectors or lights. They are the equivalent of greenbuoys in the IALA-B system. Red buoys may have redreflectors or lights. They are the same as red buoys inthe IALA-B system. Red or black buoys are usuallyfound in pairs - pass between them.
E. A Special Sign
In Florida, you may see a special sign: “Caution, Mana-tee Area”. When you see this sign, slow down to idlespeed. Manatees, an endangered species, are pas-sive, large, slow-moving mammals. Many Manatees areseriously injured or killed each year by boat propellers.
F. Noise
Always be aware of local laws on noise limits. Noisemeans engine noise, radio noise or even yelling bypeople on your boat. Good seamanship demands thatyou operate your boat quietly so as not to infringe onthe rights of others. Do not use thru-hull exhaust unlessyou are well offshore.

Always be sure to raise and secure the an-chor prior to operating your boat. Failure toraise and secure anchor before getting under-way could result in severe injury or damage toboat from rebounding anchor.
Always utilize the chain stop provided with thewindlass/bow roller combination. The chain stopprevents the anchor from accidently releasingwhile the boat is moving thus preventing dam-age to the boat or possible injury or death toindividual(s) aboard the boat.
If the anchor becomes stuck, attach the vertical line tothe mooring cleat. Wave action on the bow may lift flukesfrom the bottom and free the anchor. If the anchor is stillstuck, feed out a few feet of line and attach it to the bowcleat. Maneuver the boat around the anchor, keepingthe line firm. Determine the angle that will work to pullthe anchor free.
Anchors are available in different shapes, sizes andweights to fit different boats, uses, and conditions. YourFour Winns dealer can tell you which anchor will workbest for your boat.

ENGINES AND INSTRUMENTATIONE- 1 GENERAL
DO NOT attempt to service any engine withoutbeing totally familiar with the safe and properservice procedures. Do not attempt to main-tain or adjust an engine while it is running.Certain moving parts are exposed and failingto shut off the engine can result in seriousinjury or death.
Four Winns does not manufacture engines. Becauseof the technical nature of the engines, all manufacturersof these items require that warranty and service prob-lems be taken directly to an authorized dealer for reso-lution. The Four Winns dealer from whom you purchasedyour boat will handle all warranty and service matterswith the engine manufacturer for you.
In compliance with the Federal Boat Safety Act of 1971,all engine manufacturers require their products to beregistered. A registration card is furnished with eachnew engine. When selling a Four Winns® boat, thedealer, along with the purchaser, should complete theinformation requested on these cards and return themto the respective engine manufacturers. Engine regis-tration cards are provided with the engine and will usu-ally be found with the owner’s information packet.
Each manufacturer of the various marine power compo-nents provides an owners information manual with theirproduct. This publication is included with this manual.It is important that you read the manual(s) carefully andbecome completely familiar with proper care and op-eration of the engine system. Be sure to read the sec-tion on winterization. Replacement costs associatedwith frozen engine components are quite substantial.
Also review the other sections in this manual, espe-cially Sections I on Fuel Systems, and Section F onControl Systems.
E - 2 ENGINE EXHAUST
The carbon monoxide in exhaust fumes can be hazard-ous. It is important for you and your passengers to beaware of the potential safety hazard created by exhaustfumes. Familiarize yourself with the symptoms of indi-viduals overcome by carbon monoxide, and most impor-tantly, ways you can protect yourself and your guests.
DO NOT inhale exhaust fumes! Exhaust con-tains carbon monoxide which is colorless andodorless. Carbon monoxide is a dangerous gasthat is potentially lethal.
Persons overcome by carbon monoxide mayexhibit the following symptoms:
a. Watering and itchy eyesb. Flushed appearancec. Throbbing templesd. Inattentivenesse. Inability to think coherentlyf. Ringing in the earsg. Tightness across the chesth. Headachei. Drowsinessj. Incoherencek. Nauseal. Dizzinessm. Fatiguen. Vomitingo. Collapsep. Convulsions
IF YOU THINK EXHAUST FUMES ARE ENTERINGYOUR BOAT, DETERMINE THE CAUSE AND HAVEIT CORRECTED IMMEDIATELY!
The following suggestions can help prevent exhaust fumesfrom entering the boat:
1. DO NOT allow the boat to remain stationary withthe engine running for an extended period of time. Donot stand or swim near the exhaust output or outdrivewhen the engine is idling.
Page 2Section EFreedom™/Horizon™ Owner’s Manual
B. Pitch
Pitch is a measure of helix angle, or angle of attack, ofthe rotating blade. Pitch is easily understood if one imag-ines the propeller rotating through a semisolid such asbutter or jello. The distance the propeller will travel in onerevolution is called “Pitch.” Increasing or decreasing pitchwill also have a direct bearing on engine rpm’s becauseof the greater bite taken by the blade with each rotation.See Figure E1.
Figure E1: Propeller Pitch & Diameter
C. Prop Slip
When traveling through water a propeller is unable to geta complete bite because of the fluidity of water. “PropSlip” is usually expressed as a percent of the computedtheoretical speed. Fifteen to twenty-five percent prop slipis common for a sport-type boat operating at cruisingspeed.
Changing either diameter or pitch will have an effect onengine speed and prop slip, and in turn, directly affect theperformance of a boat. The propeller(s) included with each
2. Use extreme caution while operating the engine inconfined areas such as enclosed slips or congestedpiers. Operation under such conditions could easilylead to exhaust gasses (carbon monoxide) enteringeven though you may have all the hatches, windows,doors and portholes closed.
3. Persons sleeping can be easily overcome by carbonmonoxide because they are unaware of its presence.Sleeping while the engine is running is not recom-mended. If persons are sleeping aboard while under-way, those awake should monitor for carbon mon-oxide accumulation in the cabin; especially the sleep-ing areas.
NEVER operate the propulsion engine while ev-eryone on-board is sleeping. Fatal carbon mon-oxide poisoning can occur.
For additional information, refer to Section B-2 CarbonMonoxide.
E - 3 ENGINES
Consult the Engine Owners Manual included in theowner’s packet for additional operation and maintenanceinformation.
E - 4 PROPELLERS
Knowledge of the propeller is most easily gained throughbetter understanding of the terminology used to refer tothe aspects of propeller size and performance.
NOTICENever run with a damaged propeller. You candamage the engine or drive unit. Keep a sparepropeller on board.
A. Diameter
Diameter is twice the distance from the center of the propshaft to the extreme tip of a propeller blade. Increasing ordecreasing propeller size will have a direct bearing on therpm’s (revolutions per minute) an engine will develop. Thisis due to the greater amount of propeller blade surface incontact with the water. See Figure E1.
Section EPage 3
Freedom™/Horizon™ Owner’s Manual
Four Winns® boat provide the best general performancebased on data obtained from on-the-water testing of thatmodel. Variations in load, operating conditions, envi-ronment, the individual engine and hull performance maynecessitate the purchase and use of another propeller(s).
Under your normal load conditions the engine(s) shouldturn within the maximum rpm range when at full throttle.If the engine(s) exceeds the recommended rpm, an in-crease in pitch and/or diameter is required. If the en-gine rpm is too low, a decrease in pitch and/or diameteris required.
An engine that is not developing full power and the loadcarried in a boat will directly affect performance of theengine. Always be sure the engine is properly tunedand load conditions are those normally experienced,before changing propellers.
For additional information on factors affecting perfor-mance, please consult your Four Winns dealer.
E - 5 RUNNING ANGLE & POWERTRIM/TILT
Hull planing surfaces have the least amount of drag at athree to five degree angle with the water. This is thepreferred running angle when boating. The running anglehas a significant impact on top speed and handling.See Figure E2. Heavy load or certain water conditionsmay make it difficult to achieve the optimum runningangle. The running angle can be controlled through theuse of the power trim.
A. Power Trim
Trim angle is how far in or out, the drive or outboardmotor is positioned in relation to the bottom of the boat.The trim angle of the drive has a distinct affect on therunning angle of the boat.
The power trim system permits control of the trim angleof the drive relative to the boat, at the touch of a button.It allows the drive to be raised for shallow water opera-tion. Power trim also allows the operator to adjust thedrive while underway to provide the ideal running anglefor a given load and water condition. Additional infor-mation can be found in the engine operator’s manualincluded in the owner’s packet.
30
TO50
Boat Properly Trimmed
Boat Too High - Trim Bow “Down”
Boat Too Low - Trim Bow “Up”
Figure E2: Running Angle
B. Power Tilt
Power tilt allows the operator to raise and lower the drivefor trailering, launching, and beaching. Additional infor-mation on power tilt can be found in the engine operator’smanual included in the owner’s packet.
NOTICEDO NOT operate the motor with the water in-takes out of the water. Severe damage to theengine systems can result. Consult the engineoperator’s manual for specific information.
E - 6 TRIM TABS
Electric/hydraulic trim tabs are available on certainmodels. Trim tabs help provide maximum control of thehull in all water and load conditions. Used properly, trimtabs can:
a. Compensate for wind and load listing (level the boatside to side).
b. Induce faster planing and help achieve optimum run-ning angle (see Section E-5 - Running Angle & PowerTrim/Tilt).
Page 4Section EFreedom™/Horizon™ Owner’s Manual
After stabilization of speed and direction, press the up-per half of the appropriate trim tab switch to achieve alevel side to side running attitude. Be sure to press thecorrect trim tab switch to obtain the desired result.
After pressing a trim tab switch, always wait and allowtime for the change in trim tab position to take effect. DONOT continue to press the trim tab switch while awaitingtrim tab reaction. By the time the effect is noted, the trimtab will move too far and thus overcompensate.
B. Induce Planing & Controlling Trim Angle
Trim tabs can also be used to facilitate faster planing andallow better control of the running angle.
Before accelerating and trying to gain plane, press bothupper trim tab switches. This will cause both trim tabs tomove downward and force the bow down when running.This can also be used when running the boat with a heavyload aboard.
Moving the trim tabs downward will increase the lift andthe boat will achieve plane faster, or stay on plane at alower engine and boat speed.
After gaining plane and establishing cruising speed, press-ing both lower trim tab switches will cause both trim tabsto move upward and will allow the bow to rise. This shouldbe used to adjust the running attitude of the boat to de-crease the drag at cruising speed or above, or when run-ning in a following sea.
When running at an engine speed that results in the boatfalling off plane or causes the boat to plane inefficiently,lowering both tabs slightly (bow down) will improve therunning angle and improve operating efficiency.
Optimum efficiency is obtained when operating at a 3 to5 degree running angle. Utilizing too much “Bow Down”trim tab can reduce operating efficiency and causesubstantial steering and handling difficulties. Be extremelycareful when running in a following sea. The effect of trimtabs is amplified under such conditions. Steering andhandling difficulties can result from improper trim tab us-age, especially in a following sea. If unsure of proper trimtab positioning, raise the trim tabs to the full-up position.
The proper use of electric/hydraulic trim tabs requires abasic understanding of trim tab operation and some prac-tice in calm water. Be sure to read the manufacturer’sliterature included in the owner’s packet.
The trim tab control uses two (2) momentary-type rockerswitches. The trim tab switches control the attitude orposition of the boat. The trim tab switches are labeled byposition such as “Bow Up” and “Bow Down”. They arealso labeled for “Port” and “Stbd”. When pressed, thelabel indicates what happens to the bow of the boat.
Before leaving the dock and utilizing the trim tabs, ensurethe trim tabs are in the full up position. Press both lowerhalves of the trim tab switches and hold (for approximately10 seconds) until the tabs are full up.
A. Control Listing
Wind, loading and many other factors can result in theboat tilting or leaning towards one side while running. Thisis called listing and can be negated using trim tabs.
Pressing the lower port trim tab switch will move the star-board trim tab upward. This will result in the port bow ofthe boat being allowed to rise.
Pressing the lower starboard trim tab switch will causethe port trim tab to move upward and will result in thestarboard bow being allowed to rise.
Pressing the upper port trim tab switch will cause thestarboard trim tab to move downward and will force theport bow downward.
Pressing the upper starboard trim tab switch will causethe port trim tab to move downward and will force thestarboard bow downward.
Always establish your intended heading and attain de-sired cruising speed before trying to adjust running atti-tude (using the trim tabs).
Always press the trim tab switches in short one(1) second bursts. If pressed too long, you canovercompensate, and potentially lose control. DONOT try to correct the situation by pressing theother upper trim tab switch. Instead, raise thetab slightly by pressing the appropriate lower halfof the trim tab switch.

Figure E4: Helm Station - Twin Engine
A. Tachometer
The tachometer indicates the speed of the engine in revo-lutions per minute (rpm). This speed is not the boat speedor necessarily the speed of the propeller. The tachometermay not register zero with the ignition key in the OFFposition. Note: Some models come with a tachometer/hour meter combination gauge which allows for hour meterviewing at the helm. Please refer to Section E-7K - En-gine Hour Meter for information regarding the engine hourmeter.
NOTICENever exceed the maximum recommendedoperating rpm of your engine. Maintaining maxi-mum, or close to maximum rpm for extendedperiods can reduce the life of the engine.
Some engines are equipped with devices that limit enginerpm in accordance with the oil pressure, or engine tem-perature. Refer to the engine manual included in the owner’packet for additional information.
The tachometer must be set for different engines installed.This is typically done at the factory. The tachometergauge is shown along with the table detailing the tachom-eter settings. See Figure E5.
When running at high engine speeds, be surethe trim tabs are in the full up position. Trim tabaction should be only enough to compensatefor any listing. Trim tab adjustments at highspeeds are extremely critical. Be prepared toslow down should handling difficulties arise.
When running in a displacement (very slow speed) mode,better efficiency will be obtained with the trim tabs in thefull-up position.
C. Trim Tab Maintenance
Check the fluid level of the trim tab reservoir often. Al-ways keep the fluid level between the designated markson the trim tab pump-reservoir. Refer to the manufactur-ers information for specifications on the type of fluid tobe used and other operation and maintenance infor-mation.
E - 7 INSTRUMENTATION
The helm station on Freedom™/Horizon™ models areequipped with a complete set of individual engine instru-ment gauges. These instrument gauges allow the boatoperator to constantly monitor the operational conditionof the engine. Close observation of these instrumentgauges could save the engine from damage. See Fig-ures E3 & E4 for examples of helm layouts.
Figure E3: Helm Station
Page 6Section EFreedom™/Horizon™ Owner’s Manual
If the pick-up becomes clogged, the speedometer willnot register. Clean the opening with a piece of wire ordisconnect the tubing and blow out the pick-up with com-pressed air.
When winterizing the boat, the speedometer tubing mustbe drained of water. Disconnect the speedometer hoseat the pick-up assembly and at the gauge and blowthrough the tubing to remove the water.
NOTICESpeedometers are not precision instruments.The indications are relative and should never beused for navigational purposes or similar criticalsituations.
DO NOT rely on the speedometer when tryingto achieve a “NO WAKE” condition in a harboror other enclosed waterway. ALWAYS reducethrottle! Speedometers are not effective at mea-suring low operational speeds. You are respon-sible for damage caused by the wake of yourboat.
C. Temperature Gauge (4-in-1 Gauge)
The temperature gauge included in the 4-in-1 gaugesmonitor the cooling system of the engine. A sudden in-crease in the temperature could be a signal of a blockedcooling passage or a water pump malfunction.
NOTICEOperation of an overheated engine can result inengine seizure. If an unusually high tempera-ture reading occurs, shut the engine off immedi-ately.
D. Oil Pressure Gauge (4-in-1 Gauge)
The oil pressure gauge indicates the pressure in the en-gine lubrication system. A significant drop in oil pres-sure is a possible indication of an oil pump or other leak-age problem.
If the engine has been equipped with an audible enginealarm, the alarm should sound if the oil pressure dropsbelow the normal operating range of the engine. Pleasesee your engine owner’s manual for specific engine in-formation.
B. Speedometer
The speedometer is a water pressure sensitive unit. Ithas a pick-up (pitot tube) assembly mounted on the tran-som and a small plastic hose (speedo tube) that con-nects it to the speedometer gauge on the dash. SeeFigure E6. The pitot tube extends below the hull. Waterstrikes the tube inlet and creates positive pressure. Thefaster the boat speed, the greater the pressure, and thehigher the speed indication on the speedometer.

Section EPage 7
Freedom™/Horizon™ Owner’s Manual
NOTICEOperation of an engine with abnormally low oilpressure can lead to engine damage and pos-sible seizure. Have the engine serviced immedi-ately upon a reduced oil pressure indication.
E. Voltmeter (4-in-1 Gauge)
The voltmeter monitors battery condition and thus alter-nator performance. See Section H for additional informa-tion regarding electrical systems.
F. Fuel Gauge (4-in-1 Gauge)
The fuel gauge displays the level of fuel that is present inthe fuel tank. The fuel gauge will operate when the igni-tion switch supplying power to the fuel gauge is in theRUN position.
Due to the mechanical nature of the fuel sender, varia-tions in readings during various speeds of operation mayoccur. This system is merely a relative indication of theavailable fuel supply and not a calibrated instrument.Refer to Section I-1E - Fuel Senders for additional infor-mation.
NOTICEUse only clean fuel of the type and grade recom-mended by the engine manufacturer. The use ofincorrect or contaminated fuel can cause enginemalfunction and serious damage. Refer to Sec-tion I - Fuel Systems for additional information.
G. Power Trim Gauge
Boats equipped with stern drives also have a “power trimgauge.” This gauge provides a visual indication of theinward-outward (trim angle) position of the outdrive. Thereis not a trailer travel mode on the gauge.
H. Depth Sounder
The depth sounder is standard equipment on most mod-els. It consists of two main components, the trans-ducer and the depth sounder. The transducer is mountedto the hull and the depth sounder is installed in the dash.The transducer and depth sounder communicate bymeans of a cable, and are powered by your boat’s 12-volt DC battery. The transducer and depth sounder usethe basic principle of sonar to indicate the water’s depth.Please read the manufacturer’s literature included withthe owner’s packet for information regarding operationand maintenance.
Do not rely on depth sounder to avoid submergedobjects. Depth sounders provide a relative indica-tion of water depth only.
NOTICEDO NOT depend solely upon the depth sounderfor water depth. It is important to have navigationalcharts of the waters in which you are operating.
I. Four Position Ignition Switch
Most models use an ignition switch with four positions:OFF, RUN, ACCESSORIES, and START. Just like thethree position switch, the START position is spring loadedand the key should be held in this position until the en-gine starts. The key will return to the RUN position oncereleased. Always turn the key to the OFF position whenthe engine is not running. This will prevent discharging ofthe battery(s). The ACCESSORIES position allows theoperator to run the stereo without activating the othership’s systems. Additional information on ignition switchoperation is covered in Section A Operation, of this manual.
J. Emergency Stop Switch
This safety device automatically stops the engine if thelanyard is attached to the operator and the operator fallsfrom his work station. Refer to the engine manual fordetailed information about using this switch.
The emergency stop switch (Figure E7) incorporates ashutoff switch, switch clip, lanyard, and lanyard clip.The lanyard clip must be securely attached to theoperator’s PFD, clothing, arm, or leg. Be sure to attachthe lanyard to a place where it is free of obstructionsand to something that will move with the operator if he orshe leaves the helm station. If the engine shuts downbecause this switch was activated, the clip may have tobe reinstalled on the interrupter switch before the en-gine can be started.
Keep emergency stop switch lanyard free fromobstructions that could interfere with its opera-tion. Do not modify or remove emergency stopswitch or bypass its safety features. The properuse of the emergency stop switch will prevent arunaway boat situation which can cause severepersonal injury or death.
Page 8Section EFreedom™/Horizon™ Owner’s Manual
The hour meter is connected to the ignition switch. Thehour meter will be energized when the ignition switch isin the RUN position. Be sure the ignition switch is inthe OFF position when the engine is not operating orthe hour meter will record additional time. Turning theignition key to the ACCESSORY position will not acti-vate the hour meter.
L. Alarm Systems
Engine alarm systems are available on certain engineoptions. The alarm is audible and is actuated by variousengine sensors. The sensors monitor such things lowoil pressure, high water temperature levels and high ex-haust manifold temperatures. Consult your engineowner’s manual for information regarding the specificsystems monitored by the alarm if so equipped.
M. VHF Radio - (Optional)
Also available for certain specific models is an optionalVHF radio. The VHF radio option consists of a VHFradio, console mounting kit, an antenna, and antennamount. Please consult the manufacturer’s literature in-cluded in the owner’s packet for operation and mainte-nance of this communication system.
NOTICEFour Winns continually strives to improve its prod-ucts. Unit specifications, including standard andoptional equipment are constantly being modi-fied. Equipment availability is also subject tochange without notice. The most current andaccurate information available at the time of pub-lication is included in this manual. Some varia-tion in equipment, description, location, and de-tails can result.
N. Compass
A compass is available on many Four Winns® models.The compass can provide directional information whenoperating offshore, in unfamiliar waters, or in adverseweather conditions.
The compass must be properly calibrated after all per-sonal equipment is installed including all electronics (ra-dio, depth sounder, etc.). DO NOT rely on the compassreadings until initial adjustment (compensation) has beenperformed. The boat has a factory installed compass,the manufacturer’s instructions are provided in the owner’spacket. Most areas have local companies that special-ize in compass adjustment. If unsure of the proper com-
Figure E7: Emergency Stop Switch
The emergency stop switch can only be effective when ingood working condition. Observe the following:
1. Lanyard must always be free of entanglements thatcould hinder its operation.
2. Once a month, check the switch for proper opera-tion. With engine running, pull lanyard. If the enginedoes not stop, see your Four Winns dealer.
3. Once a month, inspect both the clip and lanyard forcuts, breaks or wear. Replace worn or damaged parts.
In an emergency situation, any occupant of the boat canrestart the engine. Just press in and hold the emergencystop switch button, then follow normal starting procedures.When the button is released, the engine will stop.
Avoid knocking or pulling the clip or lanyard fromthe switch during regular boating operation. Occu-pants may be thrown forward or possible enginedamage may occur by the sudden loss of en-gine power.
K. Engine Hour Meter
Engine hour meters are available on certain models andprovide a numeric record of elapsed engine operatingtime. This information is important in determining sched-uled maintenance intervals, ships log data, cruise infor-mation, etc. If so equipped, the hour meter will be lo-cated at the helm with the tachometer/hour meter com-bination gauge.

pensation techniques, consider having the adjustmentdone professionally to ensure accuracy and confidencein the compass.
NOTICEDuring use, keep all extraneous metal objectsaway from the compass. The close proximity ofmetal objects (e.g., beverage cans) can causecompass deviation.
O. Fish Finder
The fish finder is standard equipment on models withFish & Ski package options. The fishfinder mounts infront and to the right of the starboard helm console. Itcan swivel from helm seat to forward fishing seat allow-ing viewing from either position. If equipped, please re-fer to the manufacturer’s literature, included in the owner’spacket, for operational information.
P. Instrument Maintenance
Electrical protection for instruments and ignition circuitryis provided by fuses. The fuse block is located under-neath the starboard dash on most models or on the star-board side, below the throttle control, near the floor onother models.
Periodically, spray the ignition switch with a contactcleaner. The ignition switch and all instruments, con-trols, etc. should be protected from the weather whennot in use. Four Winns offers appropriate weather cov-ers for each model. Excessive exposure can lead togauge and ignition switch difficulties.
DO NOT use a product such as WD-40 as acontact cleaner. Be sure to read the label be-fore using any product.
Electronic gauges are affected by static electricity thatbuilds-up on the glass face. Periodic washing on thegauge face with warm water and mild liquid detergentwill help eliminate the static electricity problem and im-prove gauge accuracy.

F - 1 GENERAL
Control systems permit operation of the engine’s throttleand shift mechanisms. They consist of three major com-ponents; the shift control, throttle control, and the throttleand shift cables. Additional information on shift controloperations can be found in Section A-9.
Most Freedom™/Horizon™ models are equipped with asingle lever concealed side mount control. A gaffrig styleshift and throttle controls are featured on certain Hori-zon™ models only. See Figure F1 & F2. These con-trols allow you to select forward or reverse gear, regulateengine speed, and ensures shifting is done at low enginespeeds.
Figure F1: Gaffrig Shift and Throttle
A “start-in-neutral-only” feature which prevents starting ingear is included on both styles of controls. Refer to F-3Neutral Safety Switch in this section.
Also, the side mount control and gaffrig shift control hasa neutral lock button to prevent accidental shifting. Itmust be depressed to permit shifting from neutral to for-ward or reverse.
Built into the side mount control is a trim control switchwhich you can use to adjust the position of the out drive.This trim control switch is mounted in the gaffrig’s throttlecontrol. A twin engine application would have two trimcontrol switches. Pressing the switch in the UP posi-tion moves the outdrive out and away from the transom.Pressing the switch in the DOWN position moves theoutdrive in closer to the transom. The switch returns toits center neutral position when released. For additionalinformation see Section E-5.

Neutral is in the center or straight up position on the sidemount control. Placing the gaffrig shift control to thecenter or straight up position also places the engine(s)in neutral. Rotating the shift control forward shifts theengine into forward. Rotating the shift control aft shiftsthe engine(s) into reverse. Moving the lever further for-ward or aft increases engine speed on the side mountcontrol while an individual throttle control lever is usedon the Horizon™ models with gaffrig style controls .
NOTICEWhen shifting, ensure engine speed is below800 RPM to avoid damaging the shifting mecha-nism.
NOTICEAllow the engine to warm up before engagingthe shift control. Monitor all instruments whileengine is idling during warm-up.
Specific information on controls and their operation canbe found in the section on “Starting and Operation” in theengine manufacturer’s manual included in the owner’spacket.
F - 2 SIDE MOUNT CONTROL OPERATION

B. Fuel Injected Engines (EFI)
On fuel injected engines, starting the engine is mucheasier and faster. It is not necessary to use the throttlewhile in neutral to cold-start the engine. Simply turn thekey and allow the engine to warm up.
For additional information, refer to the section on “Start-ing and Operation” in the engine manufacturer’s manualincluded in the owner’s information packet.
F - 3 NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH
Control systems usually incorporate neutral safety switch-es within their design. This device prevents the enginefrom being started while the shift lever is in any positionother than the neutral position. If the engine will not start,slight movement of the shift lever may be necessary tolocate the neutral position and disengage the safety cut-out switch. Control or cable adjustments are required tocorrect this condition should it persist. See yourFour Winns dealer for necessary control and cable ad-justments.
F - 4 CONTROL SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
Periodic inspections of the control, cables, and all con-nections should be made. Signs of looseness, rust, cor-rosion, wear, cable jacket cracks or other deteriorationrequire immediate system servicing. Replace all dam-aged components.
Generally, periodic lubrication of all moving parts and con-nections with a light, waterproof grease is in order. Cablescan be lubricated by positioning them to their fullest ex-tension and applying light grease to the inner cable nearthe jacket. Working the cables back and forth will distrib-ute the grease in the inner cable. Reapply the grease ifnecessary.
Lubrication should be performed as often as necessaryto keep the system operating smoothly. Cable manufac-turers such as Teleflex® and Morse® often offer specialtools to make cable lubrication easier.
Cable and control adjustments may become necessary.Adjustment screws in the control, on the cables and inthe linkage are provided.
DO NOT attempt control adjustments unless youare familiar with control systems service proce-dures. Control misadjustment can cause lossof control.
Other lubrication, adjustment and maintenance instruc-tions are provided by the control manufacturer and areincluded in the owner’s information packet.

STEERING SYSTEMS
The tilt mechanism is spring loaded. Due to thevariation in steering wheel offerings, the wheelmay spring up rapidly when depressing the re-lease lever. ALWAYS KEEP ONE HAND ONTHE WHEEL DURING TILT ADJUSTMENT ORINJURY MAY OCCUR.
C. Power Steering
Power steering, featured on most models, is comprisedof an engine mounted pump, hoses and steering cylin-der. Power steering works in conjunction with the helmand steering cable to move the transom mount tiller armand vertical drive more smoothly.
This is a “power assist” system and can greatly reducesteering effort required. It is not, however, a full powersteering system as is used in automobiles. Some steer-ing tension remains in the system.
On models with power steering, restricting movement ofthe steering cable will limit or stop the steering system’shydraulic assist.
NOTICEDO NOT interfere with or restrict steering cablemovement through the last 90o of bend at theengine. DO NOT use cable retainers, clampsor tie straps. Using one or all of these couldrestrict the cable movement near the engine.DO NOT tie wiring harnesses or other controlcables to the steering cable. Make sure the deckcoaming pads and bulkheads allow for steeringcable movement in all positions of trim.
If the power steering becomes inoperative, steering willbe harder and more effort will be needed to steer theboat. Check for a broken or loose belt on the powersteering pump. Also, low fluid levels in the power steer-ing pump reservoir will cause hard steering. If theseitems are not the source of the problem, check for equip-ment or other items lying on or up against the steeringcable at the back of the boat. The cable must be freeand clear to slide back and forth. Any item blocking freemovement of the cable will result in harder steering andpossible damage to the steering cable.
G - 1 GENERAL
Four Winns® boats are equipped with rotary or hydrau-lic-type steering systems. Tilt and power steering areavailable on most models.
A. Rotary Steering
In the rotary system, a rotary drum assembly is mountedunder the dash behind the steering wheel with a onepiece cable running through the boat into the enginecompartment. At the transom, the cable turns and isconnected to the engine. Additional information on steer-ing operation can be found in Section A-9.
B. Tilt Steering
If equipped with tilt steering, depress the release lever(adjusting tab) with your thumb to tilt the steering wheel.Be sure to hold the top of the wheel to assist in position-ing. Release the lever once the steering wheel is in theposition desired. See Figure G1. Refer to the steeringmanufacturer’s literature, included in the owner’s packet,for additional information.
Figure G1: Tilt Steering Option
The tilt mechanism should not be adjusted whenthe boat is moving. Sudden boat movementmay cause loss of balance resulting in loss ofcontrol and/or injury.
Section GPage 2
Freedom™/Horizon™ Owner’s Manual
Figure G2: Hydraulic Steering
Upon commissioning the boat, it is necessary to purgethe system of air. This is performed by your Four Winnsdealer during pre-delivery service. Should steering diffi-culty increase with time, it is possible additional bleedingof the system is required. See your Four Winns dealerfor assistance. This and other adjustments on powersteering units are critical and should be performed onlyby a qualified service technician.
NOTICEIf equipped with the hydraulic system, a slightclicking sound may be heard as the wheel isturned. This sound is the opening and closingof valves in the helm unit; this is normal.
G - 2 PROPELLER TORQUE
The propeller rotation of a single engine installation willexert a directional force on the steering system. Thiscan cause the steering to be harder in one direction thanthe other, and is called propeller torque. If this occurs,adjust the drive or outboard’s trim tab (when applicable).Refer to the engine manual, included in the owner’spacket, for information on adjusting the trim tab.
Propeller torque can also cause the boat to wander (notfollow a straight line) when operated at low speeds. Thiscondition is normal and can be corrected only by increas-ing engine rpm. Wind, water currents and play in steer-ing components can cause equivalent effects.
If the power steering system cannot be corrected onboard, proceed at a reduced speed. The boat will besteerable, but with increased effort. Return the boat toyour Four Winns dealer as soon as possible to correctthe power steering system.
If equipped with power steering, check the fluidlevel in the reservoir periodically. Low powersteering fluid levels may increase steering diffi-culty.
After the first two hours of running time, checkthe entire steering system for loose bolts, nutsand fasteners which could adversely affect steer-ing control.
NOTICEWhen storing equipment in the engine compart-ment, be sure to avoid contact with the steeringcable. Cables may become kinked or damagedand may increase steering effort.
NOTICEDO NOT force the steering unit to either ex-treme. This can place undue strain on the unitand can lead to hydraulic line or seal failure.
It is important that the power steering fluid be maintainedat the proper level. Do not over fill the power steeringpump reservoir. Please consult the section in the en-gine manual regarding steering system and mainte-nance. The engine manual is included in the owner’spacket. Also included in you owner’s packet is the steer-ing manufacturer’s literature.
D. Hydraulic Steering
The hydraulic steering system is comprised of the helmpump and reservoir, hydraulic hoses, and the hydrauliccylinder. The helm assembly acts as a pump to movethe oil through the system. In many aspects this type ofsteering is similar to the mechanical system. Instead ofactivating a cable, turning of the helm causes fluid in thehydraulic hoses to flow and activate the hydraulic cylin-der causing the rudders or outboards to turn. See Fig-ure G2.

Section GPage 3
Freedom™/Horizon™ Owner’s Manual
Steering effort can vary significantly with engineacceleration, steering angle, trim angle, and seacondition. Be prepared for additional steeringloads at all times.
G - 3 STEERING SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
A. General Maintenance
A periodic inspection of all steering cables, linkage andhelm assemblies should be made. Signs of corrosion,cracking, loosening of fastenings, excessive wear, ordeterioration should be immediately corrected. Failureto do so could lead to steering system failure and corre-sponding loss of control.
NOTICECheck all bolts, nuts and fasteners for tightness.
B. Rotary System Maintenance
The helm and cable assembly should be so adjustedthat the steering wheel is centered with the drive or out-board engine in the straight ahead position. There shouldbe an equal number of turns to port and starboard fromthe straight ahead position. If adjustment becomesnecessary, see your Four Winns dealer.
Check all metal parts at the cable output end for corro-sion. Remove any old grease from the cable ram andmotor swivel connections using a mild solvent such asWD-40. Spray the cleaned areas with a moisture-dis-placing lubricant and apply a light coat of good qualitymarine grease. Do this with the ram fully extended. SeeFigure G3.
Figure G3: Steering Cable
C. Hydraulic System Maintenance
Hydraulic steering systems must periodically have all airpurged from the system. Review the information provid-ed by the hydraulic steering manufacturer for properspecifications and details on system service and mainte-nance.
D. Winter Storage
If the boat is placed in winter storage or used infrequently,clean the cable ram as instructed earlier. Cycle the steer-ing several times when applying lubricant. If at any timethe steering system becomes stiff, has an excessiveamount of freeplay or shows any change in its operatingcharacteristics, contact your Four Winns dealer to havethe system inspected.

to the “OFF” position when the boat is removed from thewater.
NOTICEDO NOT turn the battery selector switch to the“OFF” position while the engine is running. Al-ternator and wiring damage could result.
“1” - Turning the switch to position “1” will use battery #1to power the engine and 12 volt equipment. Battery #2will be isolated and remain in reserve. Only battery #1will be charged by the alternator.
“2” - Turning the switch to position “2” will use battery #2to power the engine and 12 volt equipment. Battery #1is isolated and remains in reserve. Only battery #2 willbe charged by the alternator.
“BOTH” - With the battery selector switch in the “BOTH”position, the batteries are connected in parallel. Bothbatteries will be used by the engine and all 12 volt equip-ment. Both batteries will be charged by the alternator.However, the batteries will charge at a slower rate com-pared to setting the switch in the other positions.
The use of one battery at a time is recommended. Posi-tion the battery selector switch to either the #1 or #2position.
Under normal conditions, avoid using the “BOTH” posi-tion. Use the “BOTH” position only when a single bat-tery is not capable of starting the engine.
Four Winns recommends alternating between batteriesduring boating. Depending upon boating use, this mayincrease battery longevity. Use battery #1 for the firstday of a cruise and switch to battery #2 on the secondday.
Position the battery selector switch to the battery thathas sufficient power to start the engine (normally posi-tion “1”). After the engine is running, turn the batteryselector switch to the battery that has the lowest charge.This will allow the alternator to charge the low battery.Utilizing the battery selector switch in this manner (in-stead of using the “BOTH” position) will supply a greatercharge to the battery.
FOR EXAMPLE: If battery #1 is fully charged and bat-tery #2 is in need of a charge, use battery #1 to start theengine. After the engine is running and warmed-up, turnthe battery selector switch to the #2 position. This willpermit the alternator to charge the low, #2 battery.

“OFF” - With the battery selector switches in the “OFF”position and the “SHIPS SYSTEMS” circuit breaker inthe “OFF” position, all 12 volt power to the boat is shutoff except to the automatic bilge pumps, stereo and wind-lass (if applicable). Always turn the battery selectorswitch to the “OFF” position when the boat is unattend-ed for an extended period.
NOTICETwelve volt power to the cabin panel is suppliedby the “SHIPS SYSTEMS” circuit breaker onthe battery selector panel. This must be turnedon to operate any 12 volt accessories on thecabin panel. The bilge pumps and stereo re-ceive power from the ships system battery andremain on at all time regardless of battery selec-tor or ship systems switch position.
NOTICEDO NOT turn the battery selector switch to the“OFF” position while its corresponding engineis running. Alternator and wiring damage couldresult.
“ON” - Turning the switch to position “ON” will use theengine battery to power the engine and 12 volt enginerelated equipment. The ships system battery will notbe used for any engine related equipment, but will powerall other 12V equipment on the boat (when “SHIP SYS-TEM” circuit breaker is on). The isolator will allow thealternator to fully charge the two batteries, but not al-low the operator to drain down the engine start battery.“ON” is the recommended switch position for normalboat operation. This position allows maximum use of12V equipment on the boat and leaves a full charge inthe engine battery(s) for starting.
“EMERGENCY START ONLY” - With the battery se-lector switch in the “EMERGENCY START ONLY” po-sition, the engine and ships systems battery are con-nected in parallel. Both batteries will be used by theengine and all 12 volt equipment. Both batteries will becharged by the alternator through the isolator.

H - 4 110(220) VOLT ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Certain Freedom™/Horizon™ models are equippedwith 30 amp, 110 volt, 60 Hertz (or 15 amp, 220 volt, 50Hertz) AC electrical wiring. When the boat is connectedto a shore power outlet, the AC system supplies electri-cal power to the following items if so equipped: batterycharger, refrigerator, and outlet(s). The dockside sys-tem uses three-wire, color-coded circuitry. The black orhot wire is the ungrounded current carrying conductor.The white or neutral wire is the grounded current carry-ing conductor. The green wire, referred to as the “equip-ment ground,” is a grounded conductor, and under nor-mal conditions is not a current carrying wire. The neu-tral wires are connected together at a buss bar. Theequipment grounds are similarly connected together atanother buss bar. Each hot wire is connected to, andprotected by, a circuit breaker in the AC panel. The ACpanel is located inside the head or starboard walk-thruhelm storage compartment.
Certain models equipped with a dockside system havea main circuit breaker which protects the overall distri-bution network. The MAIN dockside inlet is usually lo-cated on the transom. The MAIN circuit breaker pro-tects both the hot and neutral input leads. This breakeris sensitive. The resulting power surge which occurswhen connecting the shore power cord may cause theMAIN breaker to trip. To avoid this power spike, turn offthe MAIN breaker before plugging in the shore powercord. Securely connect the power inlet of the boat andthe shore power receptacle. Once the shore power issecurely connected, turn the MAIN breaker back on. Ifthe connection is broken and later re-secured, the cir-cuit breaker may trip. Connections must be secure foruninterrupted dockside service.
H - 5 DOCKSIDE OPERATION
If any abnormalities appear during dockside op-eration, DISCONNECT the system immediatelyto prevent electric shock hazards! Have theboat’s electrical system and the shore sidereceptacles checked as soon as possible.
A. Shore Power Connections
To prevent electric shock hazards, use only equ-ipment with approved three wire electrical plugconnections. Be sure each item being used hasbeen tested and is free of electrical shorts andground faults.
Fifty foot, ten gauge, three wire, shore power cords areprovided with dockside wiring. The shore power cordson 60 Hertz systems have 30 amp twistlock-type con-nectors. They have a power ”ON” indicator light to easein connecting and troubleshooting. This connector com-plies with the American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC)standards.
Some marinas are not equipped with approved twistlock-type receptacles. An adaptor is available from FourWinns which converts the twistlock shore plug to a threewire grounded household type plug. Use only an ap-proved adaptor when an adaptor is necessary.
DO NOT use a two-wire adaptor to connect to athree-wire system. These adapters do not pro-vide adequate grounding.
Shore power connection procedure is as follows:
1. Turn off the boat’s main breaker switch before con-necting or disconnecting the shore power cable.
2. Connect shore power cable at the boat first, thenconnect it to dockside shore power outlet.
NOTICEAlways connect the cord to the power inlet recep-tacle of the boat before making connections tothe shore power source.
3. Check for reversed polarity before turning on themain breaker. If the reversed polarity light is acti-vated, immediately disconnect the shore power cord.See Section H-6C Reverse Polarity Indicator.
4. To disconnect shore power, turn off the main breakerswitch on the AC electrical panel and disconnectthe power cord from the shore power dockside re-ceptacle first. Then, disconnect the cord from theboat.
Section HPage 7
Freedom™/Horizon™ Owner’s Manual
C. Reverse Polarity Indicator
Improper grounds or reversed polarity at shore powerare a source of serious electrical hazard. The reversepolarity light will indicate if a problem exists at the 110AC electrical system shore connection.
If a problem exists, the Reverse Polarity Indicator Lightwill come on when the shore power cable is attached tothe inlet. DO NOT activate the shore power breakerswitch in the cabin when the Reverse Polarity light ison.
ALWAYS check the Reverse Polarity IndicatorLight in the AC distribution panel immediatelyupon connecting the shore power cord beforeturning on the AC SHORE POWER circuit bre-aker. If the light is on, a problem with a reversedelectrical connection exists. Disconnect theshore power cord immediately. Notify the mari-na and have the dock’s shore power connec-tion inspected.
Under proper operating conditions, the Reverse Polar-ity Indicator Light will not be on. A green light is pro-vided for the shore power and will be ON when docksidepower is being used.
NOTICEAlways disconnect the shore power cord fromthe dockside first before disconnecting from theboat.
B. 110 Volt AC Equipment
All 12 volt equipment is isolated from the 110 volt ACsystem (except the refrigerator which is dual voltage).Appropriately labeled circuit breakers protect all AC sys-tems on the boat. The receptacles can be used for 110volt (220 volts on 50 Hertz models) household appli-ances. Refer to the following list for information on ap-pliances and other equipment.
Battery Charger - On models with battery charger, thebattery charger is controlled by a circuit breaker on theAC electrical panel and is labeled CHARGER/REFRIG-ERATOR. The circuit breaker must be on the “ON”position in order for the charger to charge the batterieswhen connected to shore power.
Refrigerator - The CHARGER/REFRIGERATOR circuitbreaker must be on to operate on 110 voltage. If thisbreaker is off, the refrigerator will automatically operateon the 12 volt system. This can deplete the battery.Excessive drain on the battery may cause irreparablebattery damage. The refrigerator will automatically op-erate on 110 volts when provided (with the circuit breakerin the ON position). Please refer to manufacturer’s op-erating instructions included with the owner’s packet.
Receptacles - The OUTLETS circuit breaker must beswitched to the “ON” position to supply power for thecorresponding receptacles in the AC system. (For thosemodels with the receptacles built into the AC panel,power is supplied to the receptacles when shore poweris provided.)
Most receptacle circuits are capable of handling 15 am-peres. Refer to Table III for a list of equipment and theelectrical currents usually required to operate theseitems. For 220 volt, 50 Hertz models, divide all of thecurrent ratings below by 2. Usually, the power require-ment is specified on the electrical item. This is only anapproximation of the electric current usage normallyexperienced.

D. Ground Fault Current Interrupters (GFCI)
The Ground Fault Current Interrupter (GFCI) is a devicewhich protects against hazardous electrical shock fromimproper ground. An appliance electrical cord with worninsulation or damp equipment may have stray currentwhich will run through electrical grounds. Stray currentas above will result in an electrical shock.
One GFCI receptacle will protect all of the receptacleson the circuit. A GFCI may be used as a receptacle aswell as an interrupter.To test:
Push the black test button and the red reset button shouldpop out from the inner surface. The receptacle and thecircuit are now off.
Push the red reset button in until it clicks to reset it. If itdoes not reset, there is either a short in the circuit or theequipment being used, or a ground fault in the equip-ment. Unplug all appliances and reset the GFCI. Oneat a time, plug the equipment back in and turn it on. Theitem that causes the GFCI to trip is the problem item andshould not be used.
H - 6 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
A. Battery Maintenance
Be sure to keep the batteries charged. Also, keep thebatteries clean, especially the terminals and connectionlugs. The battery cables must be fastened securely whilein use.
Check the battery fluid level often, especially when acharger/converter is being used. Recharge a batteryindicating a low voltage. Determine the reason for thedischarge. Alternating battery usage with dual batteriesis important. Refer to the engine manufacturer’s manualfor additional information on care and maintenance ofbatteries.
Batteries produce hydrogen and oxygen gaseswhen being charged. These explosive gasesescape through the vent/fill caps and may forman explosive atmosphere around the battery ifthe ventilation is poor. This gas may remainaround the battery for several hours after charg-ing. Sparks or flames can ignite the gas andcause an explosion.
Fire or Explosion Hazard!Only qualified personnel should install batter-ies and perform electrical system maintenance.Do not expose batteries to open flame orsparks. Do not smoke near batteries.
Poison!Sulfuric acid in batteries can cause severeburns. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, or cloth-ing. Wear goggles, rubber gloves and protec-tive apron when working with batteries. In caseof skin contact, flush with water at least 15 min-utes. If swallowed, drink large quantities ofwater or milk. Follow with Milk of Magnesia,beaten egg or vegetable oil. Get medical at-tention immediately.
Disconnect the battery before working on elec-trical or ignition system to prevent electricalshock and accidental ignition.
B. Electrical Wiring Maintenance
Periodically, inspect all wiring for nicks, chaffing, embrittle-ment, improper support, etc. Spraying the electrical con-nections with an electrical connection cleaner will reducecorrosion and improve electrical continuity.
DO NOT allow corrosion to build up on connec-tions. This can cause equipment to operate im-properly.

H - 7 STRAY CURRENT CORROSION
A. General
Electrically induced underwater corrosion occasionallyaffects boats and their related components. This is re-ferred to as “Stray Current Corrosion” and appears assurface pitting or deterioration. Stray current corrosionis the decomposition of chemical compounds by electriccurrent.
Stray current corrosion can be caused by the polarity ofthe dockside wiring system of the boat being reversedfrom the power source (reversed polarity) or surround-ing boats, an improperly wired battery installation, otherboats that are in close proximity that have electrical powerleakages, or any other source close to the boat that haselectrical power leakage into the water. Stern drive unitsare especially vulnerable to stray current corrosion.
Periodically inspect the drive components and thru-hullfittings to determine if stray current corrosion damageexists. If corrosion damage is found, determine and cor-rect the cause of stray current to prevent further dam-age. Consult an experienced marine electrician or con-tact your Four Winns dealer for assistance.
The use of some shore power battery chargers, whilethe boat is in the water and the battery is connected tothe system, can cause stray current corrosion. Have anexperienced marine electrician review any batterycharger installation to ensure a stray current corrosionproblem will not develop. An improper battery connec-tion is a common cause of stray current corrosion.
NOTICEUse only “Coast Guard” approved battery charg-ers. Consult your Four Winns dealer for his rec-ommendations.
Corrosion is usually more prevalent in polluted or saltwater than in clean water. It is also more likely to occurwhen dockage is in an area with steel piers, large metalboats, or where shore power is in use.
Note: Some of these colors can serve more than onetype of circuit.

The American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) has pub-lished a standard for the color coding of boat wiring.Four Winns voluntarily complies with these standardsso the owner of the new boat can install new equip-ment or troubleshoot the electrical system. The follow-ing table summarizes the color code system
Section HPage 10
Freedom™/Horizon™ Owner’s Manual
B. Galvanic Corrosion
Galvanic corrosion results from a potential electrical dif-ference existing between dissimilar metals immersed ina conductive solution (e.g., salt or brackish water). Ifthese metals touch or are otherwise electrically con-nected, this potential difference produces an electronflow between them. The attack on the more active metalis usually increased and the attack on the less activemetal is decreased, as compared to when these metalsare not touching.
C. Corrosion Prevention
Anti-corrosion anodes are attached to the bottom of thegimbal housing to prevent corrosion to your stern driveand underwater parts. These anodes will be slowlyeroded away by galvanic action and require periodic in-spection. Please refer to the section on “Anti-CorrosionAnodes” in your engine manufacturer’s manual for ad-ditional information. The engine manual is included inthe owner’s packet.

Freedom™/Horizon™ Owner’s Manual
The fuel fill fitting allows for venting below the fill cap.While the tank is being filled, the air displaced by the fuelescapes through the fuel fill/vent. This reduces theamount of fuel spillage. Always open the lid slowly toallow air to escape. See Figure I1.
Figure I1: Fuel Fill
The gasket seal on the fuel fill cap assists in sealingwhen closed. A missing or damaged gasket can allowwater on the surrounding surfaces to run into the tank.Periodically inspect the gasket and the fuel deck platefor damage.
DO NOT confuse GAS deck fill plate with WA-TER or WASTE deck plates. Deck fill platesare labeled according to the intended use.
Spilled fuel is a fire hazard. DO NOT overfill oroverflow the tank, or allow fuel spills into the hullor bilge. If spillage occurs, clean up immedi-ately and dispose of soiled rags/towels in a pro-per container.
NOTICEWhen fueling at a marina, DO NOT overfill. Fuelmay spill into the water.
I - 1 GASOLINE FUEL SYSTEMS
Gasoline fuel systems used in Four Winns® boats aredesigned to meet or exceed the requirements of the U.S.Coast Guard, the National Marine Manufacturers Asso-ciation, and the American Boat and Yacht Council in ef-fect at the time of manufacture.
Tanks on Four Winns® boats are located forward of theaft bilge compartment below the floor. Please see theFreedom™ or Horizon™ specifications included in yourowner’s packet for fuel tank capacities or visit ourwebsite at www.fourwinns.com.
NOTICEUse only clean fuel of the type and grade recom-mended by the engine manufacturer. Enginedamage resulting from the use of a lower oc-tane gasoline is considered misuse of the en-gine and will void the engine warranty. Refer tothe section on Gasoline Requirements in theengine manual for information on octane specifi-cations.
A. System Testing
All gasoline fuel systems have been factory inspectedand pressure tested in accordance with regulations ineffect at the time of manufacture. Additionally, each fueltank must pass rigid tests and inspections performed bythe fuel tank manufacturer.
Prior to taking delivery, it is important that a full inspec-tion be made of the entire fuel system by the sellingdealer. An entry on the Four Winns® Pre-Delivery In-spection Form portion of the Warranty Registration Cardwill attest to the dealer’s performance of this service.
B. Fuel Fills
Fuel fill deck plates are located either on the aft deck orside decks, and are marked “GAS”. To open, insert thedeck plate key into the holes on the cap and rotate coun-terclockwise. A bead chain connects the cap to bodyto help prevent loss overboard. Be sure to utilize theproper type and grade of fuel as recommended by theengine manufacturer. See Section I-3 for additional infor-mation.

Section IPage 2
Freedom™/Horizon™ Owner’s Manual
E. Fuel Senders
The fuel sender consists of a float which travels up anddown a stationary tube. The float measures the level ofthe fuel in the tank and sends a signal to the fuel gauge.See Figure I3.
Figure I3: Fuel Sender Operation
Due to the mechanical nature of the fuel sender, varia-tions in readings during various speeds of operation mayoccur. This system is merely a relative indication of theavailable fuel supply and not a calibrated instrument.With this type of sending unit a more accurate mea-surement of fuel level is obtained with the boat in alevel position.
The gauge readings will also vary with the trim angle ofthe boat. When sitting at a dock and the boat is nearlylevel, the fuel gauge will register accurately. Refer toFigure I3. When boating, the trim angle of the boatchanges and affects the gauge readings. Under theseconditions, the fuel sender will register “full” for the firstfew hours of running time until the fuel level drops belowthe 3/4 or 1/2 mark. This is caused by the angle of thefuel in the tank as shown in Figure I4.
Figure I4: Effects of Trim Angle
It is very important to keep track of hours and fuel con-sumption to obtain an average gallon per hour consump-tion figure. Refer to the fuel log located at the back ofthis manual. This will prevent any problems with run-ning out of fuel on the water.
After fueling, replace the fill cap, and wash the areasaround the fuel fill plate. Residual fuel left on the deckand hull sides can be dangerous, and will yellow the fiber-glass. It will also damage the tape stripes and logos.
C. Anti-Syphon Valves
The fuel withdrawal line is equipped with an anti-syphonvalve where the line attaches to the fuel tank. This valveprevents gasoline from syphoning out of the fuel tankshould a line rupture. See Figure I2 for anti-syphon lo-cation.
Figure I2: Fuel Tank Fittings
The fuel withdrawals are positioned in the fueltanks to achieve optimum fuel usage, and fuelline routing. At certain speeds and hull trimangles, the fuel supply at the withdrawal tanklocation can increase or decrease accordingly.Be extremely careful when attempting to oper-ate the boat on a minimum amount of fuel.Though some fuel may be in the tank, the rela-tive trim angle of the boat may cause the fuel toflow away from the withdrawal.
NOTICEAccess plates or lids are provided in the floorfor easier access to the fuel pick-up, anti-syphonvalve and sender.
D. Fuel Gauge
The fuel gauge indicates the amount of fuel in the tank.See Section E-7F - Fuel Gauge for additional informa-tion on fuel gauge use.
Section IPage 3
Freedom™/Horizon™ Owner’s Manual
Dealers are equipped with some general figures on con-sumption which can be used as a guide until specificinformation on your boat is determined. Because of boat-ing conditions, speed, weight and other factors commonto your situation, fuel consumption will vary between yourboat and consumption figures developed by Four Winns.
When the fuel gauge begins to register below the “full”mark, the gauge readings will drop much faster until itreads” empty”. When this occurs, the trim angle hasaffected the sender reading. When the gauge registers“empty”, the sender has bottomed out and there may be3 to 4 gallons of fuel in the tank. See Figure I5.
Figure I5: Trim Angle Effect with Low Fuel
F. Fuel Filters
Fuel filters are installed on each engine. Filters shouldchanged frequently to assure an adequate supply of fuelto the engine. Refer to the engine manual for additionalinformation. The engine manual is included in theowner’s information packet.
NOTICECanister-type filters should be changed annu-ally.
G. Use and Maintenance
DO NOT let the odor of gasoline go unchecked.If the odor of gasoline is noted, DO NOT STARTENGINE. If engine is running, SHUT OFF EN-GINE, ELECTRICAL AND HEAT GENERATINGEQUIPMENT. Investigate and correct the situa-tion immediately! Have all passengers put onpersonal flotation devices and keep fire extin-guishers at hand until the situation is resolved.
Avoid serious injury or death from fire or ex-plosion resulting from leaking fuel. Inspect sys-tems for leaks at least once a year.
To help guard against damage, avoid the stor-age or handling of gear near the fuel lines, fit-tings and tanks.
The warning label below is placed in aft areas of out-board boats that are large enough to accommodate asix gallon portable fuel tank.
No ventilation is provided. Fuel vapors are afire and explosion hazard. To avoid injury ordeath do not store fuel or flammable liquidshere.
I - 2 FUEL STANDARDS
Be cautious when using gasoline that contains alcohol.Refer to the section on gasoline requirements in yourengine manual for additional information.
To conform to Federal Air Quality Standards, thepetroleum industry reduced the amount of tetra-ethyl lead in gasoline. Alcohol is being blendedwith gasoline to help restore the octane ratinglost when the lead was removed. While blend-ing alcohol with gasoline increases the octanelevel of the fuel, it can also create certain safetyand performance related problems for boaters.
A. Problems With Alcohol In Gasoline
Below is a list of problems which may be experiencedwhen using blended gasoline.
1. Premature deterioration of fuel system componentsmay occur. Alcohol will attack rubber fuel hoses,fuel tanks, fuel filters, fuel pumps and rubber gas-kets. This deterioration will lead to fuel system leak-age.
2. Phase separation of fuel will cause contamination.Water which accumulates in the tank through con-tamination or condensation will be absorbed by thealcohol. This water-heavy alcohol will settle at thebottom of the tank. This phase separation will leadto fuel tank corrosion. This may also result in a leanmixture to the carburetor and cause engine stallingor possible engine damage.
Section IPage 4
Freedom™/Horizon™ Owner’s Manual
c. Put out all lights.
3. Before starting to fuel:
a. Ensure that boat is moored securely.
b. Be sure the proper type and grade of fuel asrecommended by your Engine Owners Manualis used.
c. Determine how much additional fuel is requiredto avoid overflow.
4. During fueling:
Keep the fill nozzle in contact with the fuel openingat all times to guard against possible static spark.See Figure I6.
Spilled fuel is a fire or explosion hazard. DONOT overflow the tank or allow fuel spills intothe hull or bilges. Avoid overboard spills. Visu-ally monitor the fuel vent located on either thetransom or side of the hull. When the tank isfull, fuel will flow from the fuel vent.
Figure I6: Grounding Fuel Hose
The use of alcohol additives in gasoline has become morewidespread. Regulations on public notification of the ex-istence of additives is currently controlled by the Environ-mental Protection Agency (EPA). Some states do re-quire that gasoline pumps display information on addi-tives (especially alcohol). If alcohol content is not posted,ask and avoid using fuel containing alcohol if possible.
B. Recommendations
Assume blended gasoline is being used and follow theserecommendations below.
1. Inspect fuel hoses often. A deteriorated hose con-taining alcohol blended gasoline will normally be softand swollen. A deteriorating hose containing no fuelwill normally be hard and brittle. In both cases thehose should be replaced.
2. Ventilate the engine compartment before starting theengine(s). Operate the engine compartment blowerfor four (4) minutes. Then, prior to starting theengine(s), check the bilge area for the scent of gaso-line fumes; DO NOT start the engine(s) if the odor ofgasoline is detected.
3. Frequently inspect the fuel system fittings. Inspectthe fuel tank, pump and filter for signs of leaks orcorrosion. Visually inspect for deteriorating metal fit-tings at the fuel hose connections.
Avoid serious injury or death from fire or explo-sion resulting from leaking fuel. Inspect sys-tem for leaks at least once a year.
If areas are found within the fuel system that appear ques-tionable, have a qualified marine technician inspect thesystem. A thorough fuel system examination should bemade by an experienced marine technician at least oncea year.
I - 3 FUELING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Avoid fueling at night except in emergencies.
2. When moored at fueling pier:
a. Do not smoke, strike matches, or throw switches.
b. Stop all engines, motors, fans, and devices thatcould produce sparks.
(Nozzle in contact with fuel opening)
(Nozzle not in contact with fuel opening)

WASTE AND WATER SYSTEMSNOTICE
DO NOT overfill the water tank. Tank damagemay result. Water capacity and tank location mayvary due to other equipment that may be instal-led on the boat.
For information concerning fresh water tank capacities,please refer to the specification sheet or visit our websiteat www.fourwinns.com.
The materials from which the components of the watersystem are made may give the water supply a peculiartaste, especially when new. This condition is normal andcan be reduced somewhat through the use of a waterfilter; such as that produced by PuriTec™. The tasteshould completely dissipate in time.
J - 2 DISINFECTING THE FRESH WATER SYSTEM
The fresh (potable) water system should be dis-infected prior to initial use.
The water system should be disinfected before first useand at the beginning of each season. The following infor-mation is a general guide to disinfecting the fresh watersystem.
1. Flush the boat’s water system thoroughly with freshwater. Make sure all non-toxic antifreeze is removedfrom the system.
2. The water system should be drained completely.
3. To disinfect the water system, use one gallon of wa-ter and 1/4 cup of Clorox® or Purex® householdbleach (5% sodium hypochlorite solution). This isrecommended for each 15 gallons of tank capacity.
4. Allow to stand for three (3) hours. If time is a factor,greater concentrations of chlorine solution will beneeded to disinfect the water system.
5. Drain the system.
J - 1 GENERAL
Some Four Winns® models are equipped with a freshwater supply system. This system consists of a watersupply tank, water distribution lines and a distributionpump. Refer to Figure J15 at the end of this section forgeneral water system diagram. The water fill deck plateis located either on the aft deck or side decks, and ismarked “WATER”. The location of the water fill deckplate for the fresh water system may vary depending uponthe model and optional equipment installed. See Fig-ure J1.
Figure J1: Water Fill
The water deck plate is appropriately labeledWATER. DO NOT fill the system with anythingother than water. Should the system becomecontaminated with fuel or other toxic solution,complete system or component replacementmay be necessary.
The water tank is equipped with an overboard vent. Main-tain a close visual watch on the overboard vent while fill-ing the water tank. Always fill the tank slowly. When thetank is almost full, water will spurt out of the vent.
NOTICEWhen filling the tank, never seal the hose to thedeck plate. The tank would become pressur-ized and could rupture.

6. Flush the system thoroughly with fresh water.
7. Fill the system with fresh water.
To remove excessive chlorine taste or odor which mightremain in the system, prepare a solution of one quartvinegar to five gallons water and allow this solution toagitate in the tank for several days during boating. Thendrain tank and refill with fresh water.
The cockpit sinks are equipped with traps, and the waterwill drain slowly. If the system is not operating properly,have it checked by your authorized Four Winns dealer.
J - 3 FRESH WATER SYSTEMS
A. Head Sink
Certain models have a sink placed in the enclosed headcompartment. Water will be drawn when the switch isoperated. See Figure J2. The switch to operate thefresh water system is located on the starboard helmand is marked FRESH WATER. After the tank has beenfilled, operate the pump switch until water comes out ofthe faucet. After all the air has been purged from thesystem and a steady flow of water is coming from thefaucet, turn off the pump.
Figure J2: Head Sink (Specific Models Only)
NOTICEIf the line is routed improperly, kinked or is dislo-cated, the water pump may not operate prop-erly. Inspect and correct the hose routing (ifnecessary). If a problem still exists, contact yourFour Winns dealer for assistance.
NOTICEDO NOT operate the pump with an empty tank.Damage to the water pump may result. Be surethe pump switch is off when not in use.
B. Cockpit Refreshment Center
Certain models come equipped with a refreshment cen-ter located inside the cockpit. The refreshment centerincludes common features such as a trash receptacle,sink with pressurized water system and Corian® countertop. Other features, on certain specified models only,include 110 volt ground fault current interrupter recep-tacle, refrigerator, drink holders and dual batteries. Theswitch to operate the fresh water system is located onthe refreshment center or starboard helm and is markedFRESH WATER. The same fresh water pump is uti-lized by both the head sink, cockpit sink, and transomwashdown. See Figure J3.

Section JPage 3
Freedom™/Horizon™ Owner’s Manual
C. Transom Washdown
The transom washdown is available on certain models.The washdown unit is typically located on the starboardside of the transom. The water supply system can beused for showering or washdown purposes at the tran-som. The switch to operate the water pump is locatedon the refreshment center or starboard helm and ismarked FRESH WATER. See Figure J4.
Figure J4: Transom Shower
The fresh water tank which supplies water to the tran-som washdown is usually located in the rear engine com-partment on the port side of the boat. Other specificmodels have the fresh water tank located on the star-board side. The fresh water fill deck plate is usuallylocated on the same side as the tank. The fresh waterdeck fills are clearly mark “WATER”.
A separate toggle switch to operate the pump is locatedat the helm or refreshment center and is wired directly tothe battery. An in-line fuse is included to protect the wa-ter pump. The pump is located in the rear engine com-partment usually near the vicinity of the fresh water tank.
Models equipped with the transom washdown option willuse the same fresh water pump used for the cockpitsink. With the “FRESH WATER” switch “ON”, push thespray nozzle button to purge any air that may be in thesystem. When a steady flow of water is coming from thewashdown nozzle the air has been purged. Release thespray nozzle when finished. As the pressure builds, thepump will automatically shut off at 35 psi.
When properly primed and activated, the pressurized watersystem can be used in the same manner as the watersystem in a home. An automatic pressure sensor in thewater pump keeps the system pressurized. Simply op-erate the spray nozzle and water will be delivered. If thesystem has been recently filled, or has not been used foran extended period of time, air bubbles may accumulateat the pump. If this should happen, re-priming may benecessary.
J - 4 HEADS
A. Enclosed Heads
On certain models, a fully enclosed fiberglass head is astandard feature built into the port console. These roomyheads offer an opening port light with screen, fiberglassliner, and overhead lighting. Depending on the model, aporta potti or Vacu-flush® toilet is available. Also foundin certain models with enclosed heads is a sink withpressurized water, 110 volt receptacle, storage locker,tissue holder and removable carpet. See Figure J2.

C. Vacu-flush® Sanitation System - (Specific Models Only)
The Vacu-flush® sanitation system eliminates the un-pleasant sulfide odors which plague saltwater systems.Flush water is no longer drawn through the through-hullfittings, seacock, and vented loop. It also extends thelife of the system components by eliminating salt waterand impurities from accumulating in the system overtime.
The Vacu-flush® toilet operates in a different way fromother marine toilets. Vacu-flush® systems use a smallamount of water (a little more than a pint) per flush inaddition to a simple vacuum. The toilet is connected tothe fresh water system. Fresh water is the key to anodor free bathroom compartment. Vacu-flush® toiletsare equipped with an intergrade vacuum breaker whichprevents the possible contamination of the potable/freshwater supply. See Figures J11 & J12. Also refer to themanufacturer’s literature included in the owner’s packet.
Recombine the unit. Align hinge with front interlockingtabs. To secure unit, press downward…it should click intoplace.
Fill fresh water tank by removing the water fill cap andfilling the tank with fresh water (Figure J7). (NEVER addholding tank chemical to the fresh water tankassembly.) Replace and tighten the cap securely.

D. Head Pump Out
The waste holding tank should be emptied when wasteholding tank level gauge indicator on the porta potti (mod-els with pumpout option only) has changed from greento red (Figure J13) or when the waste level indicator forthe Vacu-flush system reads almost full. DO NOT AL-LOW THE TANK TO BECOME OVERFILLED.
Figure J13: Porta Potti
If equipped with the head pump out, the waste can beremoved from the tank at a pumping station. A deck platefitting labeled WASTE, is provided for this purpose. Mostmarina fueling facilities provide service for waste pumpout. For waste holding capacities, please refer to thespecification sheet, manufacturer’s literature and/or ourwebsite.
To pump out the holding tank:
1. Connect the dockside pump out connection to theWASTE plate located on the deck.
NOTICEUsually the dockside pump out connection willscrew into the waste deck plate or has a rubbersleeve that inserts into the plate and must beheld in position during the pump out operation.
2. Have the pumping station operator activate the pump-ing equipment. The waste will be drawn from theholding tank and into the pumping stations disposaltank.
3. Remove the pump out connection from the deck plate.Add 1 gallon of clean water to the holding tank throughthe waste deck fitting using a dockside water hose.
4. Repeat steps 1 & 2 above to pump out the waterused in step 3 to flush the holding tank.
5. Add waste holding tank treatment chemical availablefrom the dockside pumping station operator to thehead. Flush at least twice.
NOTICEThe Vacu-Flush switch located in the head mustbe ON in order for the toilet to flush & recharge.
To operate:
1. To add water to the toilet before using, raise flushlever until desired water level is reached. Gener-ally, more water is required only when flushing sol-ids. See Figure J11.
2. To flush toilet, press flush lever sharply down to thefloor until contents clear bowl. A sharp popping noiseis normal when the vacuum seal is broken and theflushing action begins. Be sure to hold lever downfor 3 seconds. If flush lever is accidentally releasedbefore waste clears bowl, do not attempt to flushtoilet again until vacuum pump stops running. Asmall amount of water should remain in the bowlafter flushing.
3. Do not dispose of sanitary napkins or other non-dissolving items in toilet, such as facial tissue orpaper towels. These items can cause plugging ofthe system. Refer to the “Deodorants and SpecialTissue” section in the manufacturer’s manual formore information.

J - 5 GRAY WATER SYSTEM - OPTIONAL
The gray water system is optional on certain models only.The water from the galley sink and head sink drains intoa holding tank. The waste level indicator is located inthe head compartment. A pumpout fitting labeled WASTEbut designated for gray water is provided on the star-board side of the deck. The gray water tank is locatedin the engine compartment, center aft. See the specifi-cation sheet or our website for capacity.
NOTICECertain geographical areas have restrictions ongrey water being pumped or drained overboard.Be sure to check all local, state and federal lawsin the boating area.
J - 6 LIVEWELL
An aft livewell is available on models with Fish & Skipackage options. The livewell has a capacity of approxi-mately 7 gallons and comes equipped with an aeratorpump which is operated from a switch on the dash. Thewater is aerated as it is pumped into the tank. A hatch isincluded for access and the tailpiece regulates the waterlevel. To drain, remove the tailpiece as shown in FigureJ14.
Be sure the batteries in the boat are properly charged.Operating the pressure pump from a battery with a lowcharge will result in pump cycling. This could lead topremature pump failure.
NOTICEFailure to keep the livewell tank vent fitting cleanwill cause excessive pressure buildup within thetank during filling. This can cause water tankdamage.
Winter lay-up service procedures should include a thor-ough draining of the livewell system. Disconnect all ac-cessible fittings. Blow out all lines. Be sure the livewelltubs, aerator pump, and lines are completely dry. Freez-ing water can cause severe damage to all water systemcomponents.
J - 7 SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
Be sure the batteries in the boat are properly charged.Operating the pressure pump from a battery with a lowcharge will result in pump cycling. This could lead topremature pump failure.
The decomposition of waste produces a color-less, odorless gas, methane, that is lighter thanair, combustible, and extremely lethal. Alwaysprovide sufficient ventilation when effecting repairsto the waste system and allow no odor from thewaste system to go unresolved.
A. Clean Vents and Screens
Periodically, inspect the water tank vents and thru-hullvent fittings for any dirt, wax, etc. Carefully remove anyobstruction with a pipe cleaner or similar device. Besure not to puncture any screens. The stainless steelvent cap is not removable.
NOTICEFailure to keep the water tank vent fitting cleanwill cause excessive pressure buildup within thetank during filling. This can cause water tankdamage.
Section JPage 7
Freedom™/Horizon™ Owner’s Manual
NOTICEBe sure to wipe up any antifreeze that has beenspilled on the fiberglass surfaces to prevent pos-sible discoloration or damage to the gel coat.
Depending upon options and model, additional informa-tion by the equipment manufacturers is included in theowner’s packet. Also, refer to Section R for Maintenance.
B. Winterizing the Water System
Winter lay-up service procedures should include a thor-ough draining of the water system. Disconnect all ac-cessible fittings. Blow out all lines. Be sure the watertank, waste tank, pumps and lines are completely dry.Freezing water can cause severe damage to all watersystem components.
NOTICEIt may be necessary to disconnect the hose be-low the faucet to remove excess water in thelines to prevent freeze damage.
NOTICEAlways winterize the fresh water system prior towinterization of the hull drainage (bilge pump)system.
Draining the system as mentioned can be very tediousand an incomplete job can result in expensive repairs.The use of nontoxic antifreeze (such as R.V. antifreeze)designed for fresh water systems considerably reducesthe work necessary and is a more positive means ofwinterizing the system. Follow the directions includedwith the antifreeze solution.
To winterize:
1. Turn on the water pump/faucet and drain the watertank. The water tanks on some models can bedrained by removing the withdrawal hose from thetank and allowing water to drain into the bilge.
NOTICEDO NOT run the water pump without water inthe system. Pump damage can result. Bewatchful and turn the pump off as soon as thetank becomes empty.
2. Add 1/2 gallon of R.V. non-toxic antifreeze to thewater tank.
3. Turn ON the pump until undiluted antifreeze is seen.
Use only nontoxic antifreeze solutions such asR.V. antifreeze. DO NOT use ethylene glycolsolutions; the type that is used in engine cool-ant systems. These are toxic.

Freedom™/Horizon™ Owner’s Manual
K - 1 ENGINE COMPARTMENT VENTILATION
All Four Winns® stern drive models are equipped withengine compartment ventilation. This system is designedto meet or exceed the requirements (in effect at the timeof manufacture) of the U.S. Coast Guard, the NationalMarine Manufacturers Association, and the American Boatand Yacht Council.
A. Gravity Ventilation System
This system includes air intake and exhaust components.The exhaust ducting reaches to the lower bilge area. Thisprovides adequate air movement while underway and dur-ing bilge blower operation.
B. Forced Air Ventilation
All Four Winns® models except outboards are equippedwith an electric bilge blower. The bilge blower providesthe ventilation required prior to starting the engines andwhile at idle. See Section H - Electrical Systems forblower operation instructions.
Gasoline vapors can explode resulting in injuryor death. Before starting the engine, check theengine compartment bilge for gasoline or vapors,and operate blower for four (4) minutes, and verifyblower operation. Run blower when vessel isoperating below cruising speed. ALWAYS oper-ate the bilge blower while the engines are at idle.
C. Engine Ventilation System Maintenance
Periodic inspection and cleaning of the ventilation ductsis necessary to ensure adequate air circulation. A buildupof leaves, twigs, or other debris can severely reduce ven-tilation. Be sure bilge water does not accumulate to alevel that would obstruct the ventilation ducts.
Blower operation can be tested by placing a hand overthe vents. DO NOT rely on the sound of the blower. Besure a substantial amount of air is being exhausted bythe bilge blower. Check the bilge blower system often,preferably before each cruise.
Should blower noise and vibration be excessive, loosen-ing the bilge blower mounting screws and then tighteningevenly usually reduces noise considerably.
K - 2 HULL DRAINAGE SYSTEMS
A. Transom Drain
A transom drain with plug is provided in the engine com-partment to allow water drainage. When the boat is outof the water, the boat and trailer should be positioned soany bilge water accumulation during dry storage will flowtowards the transom.
Be sure the drain plug is securely in place priorto launching the boat. Upon shipment of the boat,the drain plug is usually taped to the steeringwheel.
B. Bilge Pumps
Bilge pumps are provided in the bottom of the hull to re-move miscellaneous water accumulations that might oc-cur during normal boating or weather conditions. Thebilge pump is controlled by the bilge pump switch on thedash panel. See Section H-3 for a detailed description ofthe bilge pump switches.
Bilge pumps equipped with automatic switches are stan-dard on all Freedom™ and Horizon™ models. As thewater level rises, the automatic float switch will activatethe pump.
When leaving the boat unattended for long periods of timeor during excessive rain storms, it is a good idea to checkon the boat for excessive water accumulation. Be sureboth the bilge pump and automatic float switch are oper-ating properly. The operating time of the bilge pump willbe limited to the battery capacity.
VENTILATION & DRAINAGE SYSTEMS
Section KPage 2
Freedom™/Horizon™ Owner’s Manual
NOTICEWhile at rest, any bilge water accumulation mayflow forward. Therefore, operate the bilge pumpshortly after getting underway and while the boatis at a substantial running angle. DO NOT allowbilge water to accumulate. Damage to the en-gine or other components may result.
Periodically, clean the bilge pump strainers. DO NOTallow dirt and debris to clog the bilge pump intakes. Checkoperation of the bilge pump float switch often to ensuremovement of the switch is not restricted by debris, por-tions of the hull, etc.
Wipe up any oil accumulation in the bilge prior to activa-tion of the bilge pump. Pumping oil overboard will pollutethe water, and is subject to fine.
After winterization of the fresh water systems, be surethe bilge area, bilge pump and associated hoses are thor-oughly dry. Damage to the hull, bilge pump and otherequipment could occur if water is allowed to freeze in thebilge.
C. Liner Drains
Fiberglass liners are typically standard on most Free-dom™ and Horizon™ models. Liner drains are providedon these models with fiberglass liners. Fiberglass linerscan be cleaned easily by hosing the floor. The water willdrain into the bilge and be pumped overboard by the bilgepump.
D. Bilge Compartment Drainage
Certain bulkhead areas of Four Winns® boats are sealedin accordance with U.S. Coast Guard regulations effec-tive at the date of manufacture. Drainage is provided andwater can be removed with the bilge pump.

To prevent personal injury, DO NOT sit on thetransom walk-thru backrest door.
M - 5 ANCHOR & ANCHORING
Anchors are available in different shapes, sizes andweights to fit different boats, uses, and conditions. Theweight of the anchor and diameter of anchor line shouldbe governed by the size and weight of your boat. FourWinns recommends a “Danforth style” 8-pound, Attwood®“Penetrating” anchor, with a 3/8” line be used on mostthe Freedom and Horizon™ models. The recommendedline length is 100-150 feet. Larger Horizon™ models(28 feet or larger) require the 13-pound Attwood® “Pen-etrating” anchor, with a 1/2” line. The recommended linelength is 150-300 feet. A Horizon™ equipped with thewindlass option (certain models only) receives a 14-poundDelta Fast Set™ by Simpson Lawrence® with 150 feetof rope and chain. Because of differences in style, a largeranchor may be needed for different bottom or boating con-ditions. Your Four Winns dealer can tell you which an-chor will work best for your boat.
Keep anchor secure while underway to prevent damageor injury due to sudden shifting in the boat’s attitude.
Use two or more anchors if anchoring overnight or forextended periods. If not using two anchors, make cer-tain there is sufficient clearance for your boat to swingin a full circle to prevent damage in case of shifting winds.
Make certain you have enough anchor line (or scope) forthe depth of water. Your anchor line should be 6 to 7times the depth of water anchored in. For example, ifyou are in 20 feet of water, use 120 to 140 feet of anchorline.

M - 6 BOW ROLLER
The bow roller assembly is standard equipment on se-lect Horizon™ models only. The bow roller extends be-yond the bow and is integrated with the anchor chute.The function of the bow roller is to allow easier retrieval ofthe anchor. It also protects the hull/deck from surfaceabrasions or gouges while either anchored or when re-trieving the anchor. Refer to Figure M9. Refer tomanufacturer’s literature for operation, care and mainte-nance included in the owner’s packet.
To prevent a possible man overboard situation,NEVER stand on, or try to utilize the bow plat-form area in any way while the boat is underway.
Figure M9: Bow Roller
M - 7 WINDLASS OPTION - (Specific Models Only)
The windlass is optional on certain Horizon™ models.A windlass is an electrically controlled winch mechanismutilized in conjunction with the bow roller for the retrievalof the anchor. The mechanical winch portion is mountedinside the anchor locker. The windlass can be controlledby either a set of switches mounted on the helm con-sole or by the foot pedals at the anchor locker. SeeFigure M10. The windlass option also comes with arope, chain, and anchor. Refer to the manufacturer’sliterature included in the owner’s packet for operatinginstructions. Please contact your Four Winns dealerfor more information.
Secure anchor line to bow eye or deck cleat.Never tie anchor line to a rail, rail fitting or otherhardware not designed to support this stress.
To drop anchor:
Approach your selected anchoring site from downwindand come to a dead stop over the spot where you wantto drop anchor. Lower the anchor.
Maneuver the boat slowly backwards until length of an-chor line is 6 or 7 times the depth of the water.
Fasten the anchor line around the bow eye or deck cleat.Anchor flukes should dig in and catch. Watch for an-chor drag by checking shoreline landmarks at the timethe anchor is dropped and one-half hour later. If the boathas drifted away from these reference marks, the an-chor is dragging and must be reset.
To weigh anchor:
Start the engine running before pulling in anchor.
Slowly maneuver the boat forward to reduce tension onthe line and make retrieval of the anchor line easier.
Raise and secure the anchor.
Always be sure to raise and secure the an-chor prior to operating your boat. Failure toraise and secure anchor before getting under-way could result in severe injury or damage toboat from rebounding anchor.
If the anchor becomes stuck, attach the vertical line tothe mooring cleat. Wave action on the bow may lift flukesfrom the bottom and free the anchor. If the anchor is stillstuck, feed out a few feet of line and attach it to the bowcleat. Maneuver the boat around the anchor, keepingthe line firm. Determine the angle that will work to pullthe anchor free.
Anchors are usually a dealer installed option. Pleasecheck with your Four Winns dealer for recommendations.

Weather covers for the cockpit areas are available on allFreedom™ and Horizon™ models. Four Winns® cov-ers are designed and intended to provide protection of thecockpit seating areas.
Four Winns utilizes acrylic-type material for all its cov-ers. All Freedom™ and Horizon™ canvas except moor-ing covers consist of 100% acrylic material and is colormatched to the boat. The mooring covers are made of 10ounce acrylic and come in dark tan (mica) only.
Never use any form of open flame cooking de-vice while under, in any area fully enclosed, ornear any acrylic weather cover. This material isflammable.
During the manufacture of the weather covers, the small-est possible needle and highest quality UV stabilized,bonded polyester thread is used in the stitching.
The weather cover is water repellant but not water proof.During a hard rain, you may notice a light mist permeat-ing through a weather cover. This is normal. If the seamsleak, they can be sprayed with Scotchguard™ or similarwater repellent or a seam sealing compound can be ap-plied. Keep objects from contacting the inside of thecover. Leakage may occur at point of contact.
Weather covers must be installed taut or will be dam-aged by accumulation of rain water.
NOTICEPeriodically check weather covers for accumu-lation of water. Damage to the bow assembliesmay otherwise result. Make sure cover is tautto avoid puddling of water.
After use, the top canvas should be rolled up into the boot(if supplied) and secured.
NOTICENEVER fold or store a wet weather cover. Thiscan lead to mildew or shrinkage. Roll rather thanfold the enclosure curtains. Sharp folds increasethe chance of cracking the clear vinyl.
NOTICEDO NOT use the weather covers for outdoor win-ter storage. The weight of the snow or heavyrain can cause severe damage to the material ortop structure. Refer to O-3 Winter Storage inthis manual for more information.
When snapping covers to the boat, apply direct down-ward pressure on the snap. When unsnapping, rotatethe snap and cover upward at each snap location.
NOTICERemove snaps one at a time to prevent damage.DO NOT rip off or pull the weather cover as awhole; acrylic material may tear at snaps.

O - 2 TRAILERING
High winds encountered during trailering your boat canseverely damage most weather covers. If an extendedtrip at highway speeds is planned, the top and otherweather covers should be in the down position or removedentirely. This will prevent damage and loss.
NOTICEDO NOT tow your boat at highway speeds withweather covers in place. High winds encoun-tered during trailering your boat can severely dam-age most weather covers. Damage to weathercovers incurred as a result of trailering your boatis not covered under warranty.
O - 3 WINTER STORAGE
The boat must be properly protected during winter drydock storage. A winter storage cover is advisable. Manymarine dealers offer shrink-wrap enclosures for outdoorstorage. See a Four Winns dealer for information on theavailability of winter storage covers or other alternativesfor storage.
When storing outdoors, make sure the supporting frame-work keeps the weight of the snow and rain from accu-mulating on the storage cover. Proper ventilation mustalso be provided or dry rot and mildew will occur. SeeSection R - General Maintenance for additional winterstorage information.
O - 4 USE OF WEATHER COVERS AND CARBONMONOXIDE
When an engine is running, a natural vacuum may existwith the right wind and sea conditions to allow exhaustgases (which includes carbon monoxide) to seep intothe boat. When canvas is utilized, this compounds thepossibility of this occurring and inhibits natural ventila-tion. For more information, refer to Section B-2 - CarbonMonoxide in this manual.
The carbon monoxide in exhaust fumes can be hazard-ous. It is important for you and your passengers to beaware of the potential safety hazard created by exhaustfumes. Familiarize yourself with the symptoms of indi-viduals overcome by carbon monoxide, and most impor-tantly, ways you can protect yourself and your guests.See Figure O9 - Carbon Monoxide Canvas Warning La-bel and Figure O10 - Carbon Monoxide Warning Label.

O - 5 MAINTENANCE
Figure O11: Canvas Care & Maintenance Tag
Moisture, dirt, chemicals from industrial fallout, heat, ul-traviolet rays and in some cases, salt water are factorswhich affect the longevity of acrylic covers. See FigureO11.
1. Moisture can cause shrinkage and mildew. Allowthe 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.
2. Dirt creates a starting point for mildew when mois-ture is present. Clean the top with a sponge or softscrub brush and mild detergent when the cover isinstalled. Make sure cover is snug to help preventshrinkage.
3. Chemicals cause decay if allowed to accumulate forlong periods of time. Keep the cover clean to preventdecay.
4. Heat can cause cracks in vinyl components and stiff-ening of fabric when enclosed in plastic or polyethyl-ene. DO NOT store the weather cover in polyethyl-ene under direct sunlight or high temperature situa-tions.
5. Ultraviolet degradation may occur under prolongedexposure to direct sunlight. Store the top in the bootwhen not in use.
6. Salt water can corrode brass, aluminum, or stainlesssteel fittings and fasteners. Keep fittings clean, lu-bricated, and waxed to prevent corrosion.
Clear vinyl curtains and windows demand extra care toprevent scratching. DO NOT use cloth or chamois skin.Dirt or grit in the cloth will scratch the vinyl window. Hoseclean water onto vinyl to rinse off salt, dirt, or grime.
NOTICEDO NOT use hot water. DO NOT dry in an auto-matic dryer. DO NOT dry clean or steam press.
Leakage after cleaning may be the result of insufficientrinsing. Re-rinse. If leakage continues, apply a coat ofsilicone air drying water repellent, such as Scotchguard™.See your Four Winns dealer for additional information onweather covers.
Section PPage 1
Freedom™/Horizon™ Owner’s Manual
Fiberglass cockpit liners and seat base are constructedsimilar to the hull. Balsa core or coremat laminations areutilized when necessary.
In addition to a thorough visual inspection of each fiber-glass component, samples are measured using specialequipment, for fiberglass reinforcement to resin ratio, lami-nate configuration, weight and thickness. By these pro-cedures Four Winns ensures proper composition.
P - 3 EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION
Many boats are used for specific purposes or under con-ditions which require the addition of special equipment tothe hull or deck. Special care must be taken during theinstallation of any equipment to a fiberglass component.A polysulfide or butyl based sealant should be used toseal installations below the water line. Silicone “marine”seal or similar bedding compound should be used else-where.
NOTICEDO NOT install any item onto or through the hullwithout adequately sealing the hull area penetrat-ed by the installed item or related fasteners.Improper installations could cause leakage orallow water absorption and thus cause serioushull damage.
Always predrill fastening holes with a proper sizebit. Predrilling will help prevent the fiberglassfrom splintering and thus causing unsightly dam-age. Also, countersink holes to prevent the gelcoat from chipping.
Any equipment which will be subjected to cyclic loadingor significant force should be through-bolted to a fiber-glass component. A butt block or backing plate shouldbe used to strengthen any area onto which an item willbe mounted.
P - 1 HULL DESIGN INFORMATION
Four Winns® boats are designed using the sound engi-neering and mathematical principles of hydrostatics, hy-drodynamics, structure, and strength of materials. Thematerials utilized provide optimum strength at the light-est possible weight. The exact fiberglass laminate sched-ule and construction techniques of each part is deter-mined in accordance with the strength and rigidity re-quired.
All Four Winns Freedom™ and Horizon™ models in-clude our patented Stable-Vee® hull design. Pods oneither side of the outdrive extend the running surface be-yond the transom. These pods, plus the unique distri-bution of deadrise from transom to bow, allows Four Winnsto place more hull in the water than deep-vee designs ofsimilar length and beam. This results in better boat han-dling whether on plane, during turns, or at rest.
P - 2 FIBERGLASS CONSTRUCTION
The fiberglass components of Four Winns® boats are ofthe finest quality materials, workmanship and construc-tion techniques available. This ensures the structural in-tegrity to provide years of boating enjoyment with mini-mal maintenance.
The construction of a Four Winns® hull begins with theapplication of gel coat to the mold. The gel coat is ap-proximately 25 mils thick. A coat of resin and choppedfiberglass is then sprayed into the hull and carefully handrolled until it is securely affixed to the gel coat.
A number of fiberglass layers and woven roving are ap-plied to the above laminate. Each layer is hand laid andhand rolled. The keel and chine areas have fiberglasswoven roving overlapped in these areas to provide addi-tional strength. Some models utilize encapsulatedend-grain balsa core or coremat laminates to achieveadditional rigidity. Others utilize additional laminations ofwoven roving to maintain strength and rigidity.
The hull support stringers are located using special tools,and are fiberglassed into place. This ensures a strong,rigid hull, permanently formed into a solid assembly, freeof distortions.
FIBERGLASS AND HULL INFORMATION
Section PPage 2
Freedom™/Horizon™ Owner’s Manual
P - 4 FIBERGLASS CARE & MAINTENANCE
Fiberglass is affected by weathering processes and re-quires maintenance on a periodic basis to help maintainthe beauty and shine. The effects upon the gel coat willbe dependent upon boating conditions, storage, type ofuse, and the care given to the boat during the boatingseason.
Four Winns utilizes fade-fighting gel coat in the exteriorfinish. It is specially formulated to resist fading and yel-lowing, and retain more of its original gloss than bettergrade gel coats. However, it is still important to maintainthe gel coat to protect the finish.
A. General Maintenance
For fresh water use, the boat should be washed once ortwice a month. When using in a salt water environment,considerable more care will be necessary. Be carefulwhen selecting a cleaning agent. Hand dishwashing de-tergents are usually gentle and are recommended forcleaning gel coat. Cleaning products such as Ivory™ orDawn™ hand dishwashing liquid can be safely used. Al-ways read the label before using any product.
NOTICEDO NOT use acetone, paint thinner, solvents, orstrong alkaline based detergents, nor cleanerswith a “gritty” and abrasive texture. Avoid prod-ucts which contain sodium phosphate. Com-mon examples of these types of household clean-ing agents are: Tide™, Oxydol™, Janitor-in-a-Drum™, Fantastik™, Clorox™, etc. Always readthe label before using an agent.
There are several products available which are specifi-cally designed to clean fiberglass exterior finishes. Manycompanies like Johnson & Johnson®, Turtle Wax®, etc.manufacture cleaning fluids mild enough to clean withoutstripping the wax.
NOTICETreading on a soiled fiberglass surface can se-verely scratch and mar the finish. Keep the fi-berglass as clean as possible.
When cleaning nonskid areas, DO NOT attempt to use awire brush or sandpaper because this will remove thenonskid gel.
Apply wax once or twice a year to maintain gel coatlustre. Read the label before using any product. Makesure product is applicable to fiberglass. Also, consult aFour Winns dealer for his recommendations.
NOTICEDo not use carnuba based waxes. This type ofwax yellows over time and makes the fiberglassappear yellow.
Waxing decks, cockpit floors or other areas onwhich one walks is not recommended. Waxingwill produce a very slippery surface, especiallywhen wet. Wax may also buildup in the nonskidsurfaces. Be sure all persons wear deck shoeswhile aboard the boat. Footing will be improvedand feet will be protected from accidental cutsand bruises.
A darkening or discoloration of the nonskid surfaces cansometimes occur as a result of wax buildup. Exposureto the sun and elements can turn the wax darker, or oc-casionally can cause it to become flaky or powdery. Toremove, use fine rubbing compound and a low rpm buffer(1200 to 2000 rpm). Apply light pressure and keep thebuffer moving at all times to prevent heat build up. Readthe directions before using any equipment.
B. Weathering Effects on Gel Coat
Weathering occurs from direct sunlight, water, chemicals,and dust. Some of the terms below describe the changesthat can occur to the gel coat surface.
Chalking is a result of the gel coat’s top surface beingbroken down into an extremely fine powder. When thishappens, the color whitens. The chalk is present on thesurface only.
Fading is the uniform change in color. This happens whenthe actual pigments have changed color, especially fromexcessive chalking, or when the gel coat has either beenstained or bleached by something.
Yellowing is gel coat which has a yellow cast and strea-king usually deals with a stain or contact with anothersurface.
Gloss refers to the shine of the surface. This can changefrom sanding action, chalk, residues, or exposure.
Section PPage 3
Freedom™/Horizon™ Owner’s Manual
Blistering refers to a condition in which the unprotectedgel coat surface below the waterline has absorbed waterand formed bubbles. See Section P-5 for additional infor-mation.
Follow the instructions below for boats that have weath-ered and chalked.
1. Wash.
2. Wax. If this does not work, then use a fine rubbingcompound. If this does not work use 400 or 600 wetor dry sandpaper, followed by fine rubbing compoundand wax.
When using wax or fine rubbing compounds, make sureto read the label and follow the directions. Some helpfultips are listed below.
1. Avoid working in direct sunlight. This dries out thewax or compound, and can stain the surface.
2. Use clean pads or cloths to apply a thin coating ofwax or rubbing compound to a small area such asthree feet by three feet. Remove any excess, andthen rub the area with a buffing pad, or power buffer.Apply pressure only as necessary to restore the sur-face finish. Applying too much pressure or buffing inone place too long can permanently damage the sur-face.
3. After applying compound, always follow with waxing.
NOTICEIf using a power buffer, use a low rpm buffer withlight pressure. Keep the pad wet and the buffermoving at all times to prevent heat build up.
NOTICETo prevent gouges, uneven areas, or other dam-age from occurring, DO NOT use a power or beltsander when sanding. For best results, blocksand the gel coat.
C. Stains
Stains can appear anywhere on the exterior of the boatand may be a result of contact with tar, plant sap, leaves,rust from metal fittings, and other materials. Surfacestains may be removed with hand dishwashing soap, mildcleansers, or some household detergents. DO NOT usechlorine or ammonia products. These products can af-fect the color of gel coat. Commercial car washes usestrong cleaners and should be avoided.
To remove stains, refer to the procedures below.
1. Wash area with hand dishwashing soap.
2. Begin with a small area such as three feet by threefeet and apply a mild cleanser.
3. Rinse with clean water.
4. Follow with compound and waxing as outlined in pro-cedure above.
If the stain is not removed by the hand dishwashing soapor mild cleanser, then the next procedure is to use eitherdenatured or rubbing alcohol. If this does not work, con-sult your Four Winns dealer for professional assistance.
NOTICEDO NOT use acetone, ketone, or other solventsto remove stains. These chemicals are flam-mable and may damage the gel coat.
P - 5 FIBERGLASS REPAIRS
Fiberglass is one of the most durable, strong, and forgiv-ing construction materials afloat. It is resilient and nor-mal repairs can be made without affecting the strength orstructural integrity of the boat.
Striking docks, other boats, or submerged ob-jects could create a very hazardous situation orseverely damage the fiberglass. In the event anobject is struck below or near the waterline, pro-ceed directly and cautiously to the nearest ser-vice facility and remove the boat from the water.Closely inspect the hull for damage. If the outerfiberglass laminate was penetrated, repairs mustbe made prior to relaunch.
Section PPage 4
Freedom™/Horizon™ Owner’s Manual
Occasionally, blisters, crazing, scratches, or damage tothe fiberglass can occur. Repairs may be necessary tocorrect the problem.
A. Scratches
Scratches occur during normal use. Below is a step bystep procedure to repair scratches.
1. Clean area with soap and water.
2. Apply a fine rubbing compound and buff.
3. Wax.
If this does not work, clean the area and sand lightly with400 to 600 wet or dry sandpaper and follow with rubbingcompound and wax.
B. Gouges & Cracks
Stress cracks and crazing are the appearance of hairlinecracks in the gel coat surface. When present, these prob-lems usually occur in the gel coat finish or the outer “skincoat” fiberglass laminate. The appearance of these cracksdoes not pose a threat to the structural integrity of theboat. In most cases, they are cosmetic and can be treated.
Cosmetic surface damage can be repaired as follows:
1. Sand the surrounding area with medium or fine gritsandpaper. Clean all marine growth, dirt, antifoulingpaint, etc. from the immediate area. DO NOT exces-sively scratch or gouge the surrounding area.
2. Use a hard, pointed tool to open the gel crack. Takecare not to damage the surrounding gel coat.
3. Sand the crack or gouge so the edges are smoothand will allow proper “feathering” of the area.
4. Clean the area thoroughly. Make sure the area is drybefore proceeding.
NOTICEBe sure the structure and the ambient tempera-ture are above 60 degrees F (15 degrees C) andthe relative humidity below 70% immediately be-fore, during, and after the repair.
5. If the nick or gouge is deep and penetrates throughthe gel coat, fill the area with fiberglass patchingpaste. Follow the directions on the can when mix-ing the paste with the catalyst.
6. After the gouge is filled and has dried, sand thepatched area. Begin by using medium-fine gradesandpaper. Progressively use finer grade sandpa-per until the surface is very smooth. If necessary,add filler and then sand the surface again.
7. Apply two or three light coats of matching fiberglassgel coat to the repaired area. Enough gel coat shouldbe used so that the entire area is covered.
The gel coat must be catalyzed using up to 2% MEKPeroxide which can be purchased at a supplier han-dling fiberglass reinforced products. Contact yourFour Winns dealer for assistance.
8. After ample drying time, sand the area using veryfine wet/dry sandpaper. If the appearance of the areais still not satisfactory, repeat steps 2 through 8 asnecessary.
9. If above the waterline, polish the area using a fiber-glass rubbing compound and then wax. If the re-paired area is below the waterline, the area shouldbe primed and painted in accordance with the anti-fouling paint manufacturer’s instructions.
Gel coat, like paint, will change colors with time andexposure to sunlight (ultraviolet). For this reason, “match-ing” gel coat obtained from Four Winns may not matchthe gel color of a boat that has been exposed. However,this is the closest match commercially available. A fi-berglass technician can tint the gel to be used in therepair to provide a closer color match.
More severe fiberglass damage, especially when struc-tural, requires the expertise of an experienced fiberglassrepair technician. See your Four Winns dealer for as-sistance.
NOTICEImproper repair techniques can lead to furtherfiberglass component damage.
Section PPage 5
Freedom™/Horizon™ Owner’s Manual
C. Osmotic Blistering
Osmotic blistering or “boat pox” is an unfortunate but notuncommon occurrence in fiberglass boats. Fiberglassis water retardant, not waterproof. When a boat is left inthe water for a period of time, the fiberglass will absorbwater. It is a natural process that can not be eliminatedin production methods or material selection and usage.However, there are ways to control and possibly preventblisters (see Section P-6). If you do encounter blisters,be assured that the blisters are merely cosmetic. Theydo not indicate a defect in the boat structure or lamina-tion. Four Winns, along with most boat manufacturers,regard gel blisters as a standard maintenance item.
The repair procedure for gel coat blisters is similar to theprocedures outlined in the previous section on cracksand gouges. There is an exception however, in that thehull must dry out for several days or possibly weeks be-fore repairs can proceed.
To determine if the hull has dried sufficiently, tape onesquare foot of household plastic wrap securely to the hullbottom. Make sure all edges are sealed and let it standfor twenty-four hours. If condensation has accumulatedunder the plastic, the hull is still “wet” and must be al-lowed to dry longer before repairing.
When the repair is completed, an application of an ep-oxy barrier coat should be considered. This will helpprevent the possibility of reoccurrence of blisters. YourFour Winns dealer or local ship store will have informa-tion on barrier coat products.
P - 6 ANTIFOULING PAINT
Four Winns recommends antifouling or bottom paint forboats which will be kept in the water for extended peri-ods of time. Antifouling paint reacts with water to retardthe growth of algae, barnacles and other marine growthon the hull. In addition to marine growth, it offers protec-tion against excessive water pollution.
Antifouling paint begins reaction upon contact with wa-ter. After a season’s use or sooner under certain condi-tions, the antifouling paint may appear to be dissolving.This is due to the paint’s chemical emission that in turnretards marine growth. When this occurs, refinishing isin order.
Four Winns recommends reapplication of the antifoulingpaint seasonally. The effectiveness of the paint will bedrastically reduced if used longer. Though Four Winns
has found the antifouling paints used to provide good marinegrowth protection in most water, other paints may be moreeffective in certain water conditions. See a Four Winnsdealer for recommendations on antifouling paint use inyour area.
NOTICEDuring surface preparation, the hull should besanded only enough to remove any foreign mat-ter, and loose paint. DO NOT sand deeply intothe gel coat, fiberglass cosmetic problems couldlater result. After sanding, the surface should bewiped with a rag treated with a cleaner recom-mended by the antifouling paint manufacturer. Thesurface must be clean and slightly rough to en-sure paint adhesion.
Prior to application of the antifouling paint, the boat ownermay consider coating the hull bottom with an epoxy coat-ing. Four Winns recommends this procedure as a pre-ventive and effective means of controlling osmotic blister-ing. Most major antifouling paint manufacturers also sup-ply a line of epoxy undercoatings. Consult your FourWinns dealer for recommendations on epoxy undercoat-ings.
P - 7 HULL SUPPORT
Proper support of the hull while it is out of the water isimperative. Due to the design complexities, Four Winnsdoes not recommend trailers or storage cradles be home-made. The boat is a valuable piece of equipment. DONOT risk permanent damage to the hull structure in anattempt to save the cost of an adequate support. Improp-er support can lead to serious and permanent hull defor-mation.
Failure to adequately support the hull mayresult in permanent hull structure damageand will invalidate the hull structure war-ranty.
NOTICEWhen attempting to raise the hull, never allowone end of the boat to rise first, while letting theopposite rest momentarily on the outdrives or un-derwater gear. Serious damage to these compo-nents could result. DO NOT place lifting strapson underwater gear. Be sure the strap is againstthe hull surface only.
Section PPage 6
Freedom™/Horizon™ Owner’s Manual
A trailer, or storage cradle designed for a larger or smallerboat will not provide proper support for the hull. This couldlead to hull deformation and thus serious performancedeficiencies.
Four Winns® trailers are available for the Freedom™ andHorizon™ models. Refer to Section S - Trailer Informa-tion for additional information.

WOODWORK AND COMPOSITES
Q - 1 HIGH-PRESSURE LAMINATE CARE
Some table tops, galley counter tops, shelving and drawerfaces consist of a high pressure laminate, “formica” likematerial. The laminate may have either a matte textureor smooth finish and can be cleaned with mild dishwa-shing soap and water or other cleaning solutions such asFantastik™. Always read the label before using any prod-uct.
NOTICEDO NOT use abrasive cleaners or solvents onformica. DO NOT use Soft Scrub™ soap or simi-lar cleaning products; they will scratch the sur-face and remove the shine.
NOTICEDO NOT use table tops as a cutting board. Theknife will leave gouges/marks in the surface ofthe table.
Q - 2 STAR BOARD
Star board is a high density polyethylene (plastic) and isvery durable and fade resistant. Star board requires littlemaintenance, and is being used in place of wood in manyareas of the boat. The fill-in cockpit table is one ex-ample of where star board is used.
To clean star board, use a solvent-free, nonabrasive cleanersuch as dishwashing soap or Fantastic™. Read the la-bel before using any cleaning product.
NOTICEStar board will stain when exposed to certain oilsor chemicals. Always wipe up any spills immedi-ately.
Q - 3 BURLWOOD MAHOGANY ENHANCEMENTS
Mahogany enhancements are available on the Free-dom™/Horizon™ models. They consist of a finishedsynthetic burlwood mahogany. This synthetic burlwoodmahogany may be found in the instrument gauge pan-els, switch panels and ignition switch panels. Addition-ally, an optional woodgrain steering wheel is availablefor most models. See Figure Q1.
Figure Q1: Woodgrain Helm Representation
To clean, a damp cloth will usually suffice.

R - 1 WINTERIZATION
A. Prior to Lifting for Winter Lay-up
1. Pump out the head (dockside discharge if applicable),and be sure the holding tank is empty. Flush thehead holding tank with soap, water and a deodorizer(e.g., Lysol Liquid™). Add more water if necessary.Have the cleaning solution pumped out.
2. Have the fuel tank either full or completely empty.See the Engine Owner's manual for recom-mendations. Also, check with the dry dock opera-tors for recommendations. If winter storing with a fullfuel tank, gasoline winterizer such as Sta-bil® FuelConditioner will reduce varnishing, condensation, etc.
NOTICEIf the fuel has been treated with winterizer, runengines for ten minutes to make sure the treatedfuel is present in all lines and parts of the engine.
3. Drain water from the fresh water system (if applicable).
4. Winterize the engine and drive systems as recom-mended in the Engine Owner's manual. Portions ofthis winterization procedure may require that the boatbe lifted.
5. If the boat is to be lifted or taken off the trailer, seeSection P-7 - Hull Support in this manual for addi-tional details.
B. After Lifting
1. Remove the drain plug.
2. Thoroughly wash the fiberglass exterior, especiallythe hull bottom. Remove as much marine growth aspossible. Wax lightly.
3. Lower boat onto cradle properly or place boat on trailer.Be sure boat is adequately supported. The boatshould be raised slightly under the forward supportsor trailer tongue to improve drainage to the transomdrain.
4. Be sure all the water is completely drained from thefresh water system. Disconnect all hoses, checkvalves, etc. and blow all the water from the systemusing very low air pressure. The use of nontoxic,fresh water system antifreeze is recommended asan alternative to disassembling the water system.Refer to Section J-7 System Maintenance in thismanual for information on winterizing the water sys-tem.
5. Winterize the head as recommended by the headmanufacturer. If the boat is equipped with a holdingtank, mix some antifreeze solution and pour it intothe head. Transfer some of the antifreeze to the hold-ing tank by flushing the head. Also, refer to SectionJ-7 - System Maintenance for additional information.
6. Ensure that all water is removed from the bilge pumpand bilge pump lines. Dry the hull bilge, andself-bailing cockpit drain troughs. Water freezing inthese areas could cause damage. See Section K-2- Hull Drainage Systems.
7. Remove the battery(s) and store in a cool place. Cleanthe batteries using clear, clean water. Be sure thebattery has sufficient water and clean terminals. Keepthe battery(s) charged throughout the storage period.DO NOT store the battery(s) on a concrete floor orother damp or conductive surface.
8. Remove the alcohol/butane canister from the stove(if applicable) and store in a cool, dry place awayfrom heat or spark.
9. Clean the boat interior thoroughly. Vacuum and/orshampoo carpets.
10. Wash exterior fiberglass components, wax lightly.

C. Prior to Winter Storage
1. Remove as many cushions as possible. Removestorage lids or hatches. Open as many locker doors,as possible. Leave these areas open to improve ven-tilation.
2. Spray the weather covers and the boat upholsterywith Lysol Spray Disinfectant™. Enclosed areassuch as storage locker areas should also be sprayedwith Lysol Disinfectant™.
3. Place small dishes of rodent poison such as D-Con™in a number of areas around the boat. Be sure dishesare placed near the head and the engines, as ro-dents will destroy upholstery, water intake and dis-charge hoses.
4. If the boat will be in outside storage, properly supporta storage cover and secure it over the boat. DO NOTsecure the cover tightly to the boat. This does notallow adequate ventilation and can lead to dry rot.DO NOT store the boat in a damp storage enclosure.Excessive dampness can cause electrical problems,corrosion, and dry rot.
5. DO NOT use the bimini top or camper top as a winterstorage cover. The life of these covers may be signifi-cantly shortened if exposed to harsh weather ele-ments for long periods.
Placing an electric or fuel burning heating unit inthe bilge of the boat during cold weather couldcause fire or explosion and is not recommended.
NOTICEBoats stored outside in areas with heavy snowaccumulation are more susceptible to damage,and should be inspected regularly during the win-ter months
6. Engine should be winterized according tothe engine manufacturers manual.
R - 2 ENGINE FLUSH OUT
The optional engine flush out (if applicable) should beused to clean the engine of unwanted salt, mud, sludge,etc. which may have accumulated in the engine coolingsystem. Before winterizing the engine, flush out the sys-tem for at least five minutes.
Make sure that no section of flush hoses are incontact with moving or hot engine parts or abra-sive surfaces such as screw threads, sharpedges, etc., which could damage the hoses.Damage to the hoses could cause leaks andpossible flooding of the engine compartment. Pe-riodically check hoses for abrasions.
NOTICEThe Four Winns flush out kit may be used withthe boat in or out of the water and the engineOFF. If engine comes with flush out kit from theengine manufacturer, refer to engine operator’smanual.
To flush out the engine with Four Winns installed flushout kit, follow the instructions below.
1. Do not run engine during flushing procedure.
2. Remove cap from coupling and attach swivel con-nector.
3. Attach water supply hose to swivel connector.
4. Turn water on and allow water to flush the engine andexhaust manifold for five to ten minutes.
5. Turn water off. Disconnect hose; replace and tightencap securely.
Reinstall cap onto coupler after flushing. Floo-ding of the engine compartment will occur if thecap is not installed and tightened.

Freedom™/Horizon™ Owner’s Manual
Laws covering such items as trailer brakes, lights, safetychains, etc., will vary from state to state. Please contactthe motor vehicle department in your state for additionalinformation.
B. Load Carrying Capacity
The certification label shows the maximum load-carryingcapacity and is located on the port forward side of thetrailer. The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) is theload-carrying capacity plus the weight of the trailer itself.DO NOT exceed the GVWR rating for the trailer.
NOTICEWhen using or choosing a tow vehicle with thecorrect GVWR, you must consider not only theweight of the boat and trailer but also the weightof the fuel, water, equipment, etc. Refer to Table1 below:
If selecting a trailer from another manufacturer, check theload-carrying capacity. A trailer with a load-carrying ca-pacity that is too low will be unsafe on the highway andcould cause sudden failure of critical trailer componentsor abnormal tire wear. A trailer with too high of a load-carrying capacity that is sprung for heavy loads can dam-age a lighter boat.
NOTICEDO NOT overload your trailer by placing cam-ping gear or other heavy equipment in the boat.DO NOT exceed the GVWR rating. Damage tothe hitch, coupler, or trailer may occur.
S - 1 GENERAL TRAILER INFORMATION
The trailer must properly “match” the boat’s weight andhull design. Four Winns® trailers are designed specifi-cally for each boat model. Four Winns® trailers meet orexceed the National Marine Manufacturers Association’strailer requirements.
Four Winns manufactures bunk type trailers. The bunksare located specifically for Four Winns® boats and ad-equately support all parts of the boat. It is a “drive-on”type trailer which means winching the boat from the wa-ter is not necessary.
NOTICEWhen winching the boat onto the trailer, be surethe bunks are wet to prevent damage to theboat or trailer. DO NOT attempt to winch theboat forward when out of the water. Damage tothe winch stand/assembly or tongue could oc-cur.
Four Winns offers both painted and galvanized trailers.The painted trailer is intended to be used in fresh waterand the galvanized trailer in salt/brackish water.
NOTICEFour Winns does not recommend the usage ofpainted trailers for salt/brackish water condi-tions, as trailer life may be substantially re-duced.
A. Regulations
Federal law requires that the trailer and tire registrationinformation be compiled and recorded. The Four Winns®boat registration card includes trailer registration informa-tion. A trailer tire warranty card included in the owner’spacket, is to be filled out and returned to the tiremanufacturer.
NOTICEThe warranty of the tire is administered by themanufacturer of the tire. The manufacturer ofthe tires on your trailer is Carlisle Tire. Pleasecall 1-800-260-7959 regarding any warranty con-cerns relating to your tires.

Improper weight distribution can place excessive strainon the towing vehicle and trailer. It can also cause thetrailer to “fishtail” (sway side to side). Be sure gear andother items are distributed evenly in the boat.
C. Hitches
The load-carrying capacity of trailer hitches will vary be-tween manufacturers and must equal or exceed theGVWR. Four Winns® trailers use surge disc brake sys-tems and require a fixed hitch. Refer to Section S-2ESurge Disc Brakes for more information.
Before hitching the trailer to the vehicle, make sure theproper size hitch ball is installed to match the coupler.The ball size is determined by the Gross Vehicle WeightRating or GVWR. The GVWR is printed either on thetrailer plate or embossed on the tongue, coupler or ac-tuator. For trailers with a GVWR of 7000 pounds or lessa 2” ball is used. For trailers with a GVWR over 7000pounds a 2 5/16” ball is used. This information mayalso be obtained on our website at www.fourwinns.com.Refer to Section S-3 Operation for additional informationon hitches. Also, consult your Four Winns dealer for hisrecommendation before purchasing a trailer hitch for yourtowing vehicle.
To help guard against a sudden failure while inuse, do not use a worn hitch ball. Replaceall worn or damaged parts.
S - 2 TRAILER COMPONENTS
A. Bunk Supports
All bunk boards are made of pressure treated wood. Thiswood is rot resistant. All boards are covered with a highquality exterior grade carpet to protect the boat from dam-age during normal use.
Bunk supports run parallel to the keel and support thehull, extending beyond the transom. See Figure S1.
Figure S1: Trailer Bunks
Outer bunk supports provide stability for the boat. Theinside bunks are the main weight bearing members. Sideguide-on supports help to keep the boat straight whiledriving the boat onto the trailer. Keeping the tie-downstightly fastened will prevent the boat from bouncing againstthe bunk supports.
NOTICEImproper trailer setup can cause hull damage.
B. Tongue
Four Winns® trailers are designed with tongue weightsbetween 5% and 10% of the total weight of the boat, fuel,gear and trailer. If the downward weight on the couplingball does not fall within this range, coupler failure andtowing instability may occur. If using anothermanufacturer’s trailer, have the dealer check the tongueweight before trailering.
NOTICEDO NOT use a bent or damaged tongue or cou-pler. Replacement parts may be ordered througha Four Winns dealer.
The trailer tongue is hinged or removable on our paintedtrailers and galvanized trailers. This allows for easierstorage. The tongue is attached with clevis pin(s) withlocking hair pin(s) or clevis pin keeper(s) to the trailerframe. Refer to Figure S2.

D. Coupling Assembly
To unlock the coupler, pull the locking trigger upward withyour index finger and lift the locking lever. To lock, pushthe locking lever down. See Figure S4.
This is also applicable to the Surge Disc Brake Actuatorand Coupling Assembly.
E. Surge Disc Brakes
Surge disc brakes are available on model trailers manu-factured by Four Winns. Surge disc brakes operate auto-matically when the tow vehicle’s brakes are applied.When the tow vehicle slows down or stops, the forwardmomentum or “surge” of the trailer against the hitch ballapplies pressure to a master cylinder in the trailer cou-pler. The master cylinder supplies hydraulic pressurethrough the hydraulic system which activates the trailer’sdisc brakes. See Figures S5 and S6. Please refer tothe manufacturer’s literature included in your owner’spacket for further details regarding operation and main-tenance.
The benefits of disc brakes in comparison to drumbrakes:
• Fewer moving parts.• Longer life due to fewer moving parts.• Friction pads are easily accessible.• Easy access to caliper for cleaning and mainte- nance.• Calipers are self-adjusting allowing smoother braking operation.• Braking performance less likely to be affected by dirt, water, or rust contamination.• Fade resistant.
Figure S4: Coupling Assembly
Figure S5: Brake Actuator & Coupling Assembly and Brake
For boat models with the Surge Brake Actuator and Cou-pling Assembly shown in Figure S6, lift the release handleto unlock the coupler. Push down on the release handle/locking lever to lock the trailer to the ball hitch. The lock-ing pin, provided with the trailer, or a padlock must beinserted in the locking lever hole. This ensures thecoupler’s locking lever remains in the locked position dur-ing towing of the trailer. Refer to Section S-3 Operationfor additional information on couplers and hitching to thetow vehicle.
NOTICEAnti-sway devices as used on recreational vehi-cles (RV’s) are not applicable to surge brake sys-tems and should not be used on Four Winns®trailers.
DO NOT use a trailer hitch with moving parts. Thebrakes could activate when traveling downhill. Al-ways use a fixed hitch.

1. Place two fingers on spring-loaded release, and pullrelease away from spindle/gear.
2. Bring both handles together. Both handles shouldride on the inner gear.
3. Open (to approximately 110°) and close handles toratchet. Leave in closed position to maintain pres-sure on line.
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 toprevent damage to the hull. The boat may shift or bounceagainst the bunks or hull supports if not secured. It mayalso 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 yourboat in place is located on the winch stand. It shouldbe positioned so that the winch line pulls straightand is parallel to the trailer frame. A separate tie-down should then be attached to hold the boat. SeeFigure S10.
Figure S10: Bow Tie Down Strap
NOTICEDO NOT rely on the winch cable (or line) aloneto 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 transomis resting securely on the bunk supports at the rearof the trailer. Rear tie-downs are provided to securethe boat to the trailer. Tighten the tie-downs to pre-vent the boat from moving. See Figure S11.
Section SPage 9

Freedom™/Horizon™ Owner’s Manual
NOTICETo prevent back injury, DO NOT PHYSICALLYLIFT the trailer tongue when loaded.
6. The locking pin, provided with the trailer, or a pad-lock must be inserted in the locking lever hole. Thisensures the coupler’s locking lever remains in thelocked position during towing of the trailer. Use of apadlock will help to deter theft.
7. Connect break-away cable S-hook securely to oneof the tow vehicle hitch’s safety chain connectionpoints. The cable should hang clear of trailer tongueand be long enough to permit short radius turns with-out pulling break-away cable forward. DO NOT loopthe break-away cable around a bracket and loop itback onto itself.
8. Make sure the break-away lever is fully rotated tothe rear with the break-away catch pin securely lo-cated under the break-away spring. The break-awaycatch pin will be in the lever’s uppermost notch.See Figure S12.
Figure S12: Break-away Cable
The Break-away system is not designed to op-erate if the trailer does not separate completelyfrom the tow vehicle, or if the trailer tongue “sub-marines” and goes beneath the tow vehicle. DONOT use break-away cable as a parking brake.
9. Safety chains or cables (depending on which modelyou have) are provided and must be used. Crossthe safety chains/cables under the coupling and at-tach to the towing vehicle’s frame or bumper. SeeFigure S13. Always allow slack for turns. FourWinns provides securement clips for the safetychain/cable hooks and recommends you use them.Regulations vary from state to state. Please checkthe local laws in your state.
S - 3 OPERATION
A. Hitching Trailer
Before towing, the trailer must be properly hitched to thetow vehicle.
To ensure proper engagement of the actuator’scoupler to the tow ball, DO NOT use a multi-piece ball, an incorrectly sized ball, or a worn/damaged ball. Please refer to the trailer’s certi-fication plate, coupler or actuator on the trailerfor Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or visitour website at www.fourwinns.com. Trailers witha GVWR of 7000 pounds or below require a 2”tow ball and trailers above a GVWR of 7000pounds require a 2 5/16” tow ball.
1. Position actuator ball socket above ball hitch.
2. Lift up on release handle fully (approximately 30o fora trailer with brake actuator and coupler assembly)to allow the ball latch to rotate open. The handle willremain up to indicate that it is not yet attached tothe ball. See Figure S6.
3. Lower trailer tongue until ball is seated or rests in ballsocket.
4. Close release handle. If it is a trailer with brake ac-tuator and coupler assembly the handle will snap toits closed position when properly seated.
The release handle will close freely with finger pressurewhen ball is properly seated in socket. If the handledoes not close freely or does not snap to its closedposition properly, do not tow trailer. DO NOT forcehandle into closed position, otherwise damage could re-sult. Inspect actuator for bent parts or cause of improperoperation.
NOTICEKeep the coupler clean and lubricated to preventdamage to the coupler.
5. Make sure the actuator is secure. If unsure, extendthe trailer tongue jack to the ground and lift (with thejack) the car and trailer combination approximately2" to 4". If the ball does not disengage and remainssecured, the actuator is latched properly.
Section SPage 10
Freedom™/Horizon™ Owner’s Manual
Be sure the tow vehicle and trailer are level andhave a positive tongue load. This will allow thebrake actuators to function properly on trailermodels having such braking systems.
Be sure to read the manufacturer’s literature, included inthe owner’s packet, before towing your Four Winns® boatand trailer.
B. Backing Up With Surge Disc Brakes
Follow the steps listed above for hitching the trailer beforebacking up.
1. Before backing up a slope or through soft ground,pull the trailer forward slightly to assure the actuatorsocket is in the fully forward position.
2. Back the trailer up.
Avoid sharp turns. This could bend, create ex-treme stress or fracture either the actuator ortrailer tongue.
NOTICEBe sure to check for obstacles or persons be-hind the trailer before backing up. Also, adjustyour mirrors for clear view of the area behind thetrailer.
3. If the trailer is to be uncoupled from the tow vehicleafter backing, block all trailer wheels and pull forwardslightly to take strain off the actuator.
Uncouple the actuator by lifting the release handleand raise the trailer tongue with the jack.
For most trailering conditions, the brake actuator willallow you to back up normally. However, if the coupleris not wired or if there is a failure the trailer can still bebacked up by using the manual brake lockout.
To use your lockout, check that no force is being ap-plied to the actuator. This is achieved by positioning thetowing vehicle and the trailer on a flat service, or with thetrailer downhill from the tow vehicle. Set the vehicle’sparking brake.
The trailer’s safety chain/cable length MUST beset short enough so the actuator’s break-awaycable is NOT pulled if the coupler separatesfrom the tow vehicle’s hitch but remains con-nected by the safety chains/cables. The break-away system should only be activated afterBOTH the trailer’s coupler and safety chains/cables have failed and allowed the trailer to com-pletely separate from the tow vehicle. Providejust enough slack in the trailer safety chains/cables to allow short radius turns. The chains/cables should not drag on the ground. Safetychains/cables must be used.
Figure S13: Crossing the Safety Chains/Cables
To reduce the risk of Break-away accidents, besure coupler is seated and safety chains/cablescrisscrossed before trailering.
NOTICERubber safety chain straps are included on the“S” hooks to prevent chains/cables from bounc-ing off of the tow vehicle and must be used.
10. Retract jack fully and place in trailering or horizontalposition.
11. Check for proper tow vehicle-trailer hookup. The towvehicle and trailer should be level with a positivetongue load. Four Winns® trailers are designed withtongue weights between 5% and 10% of the totalweight of the boat, fuel, gear and trailer. The trailershould be close to level. If unsure of tongue load andtrailer position, consult your Four Winns dealer be-fore proceeding.
Section SPage 11

Freedom™/Horizon™ Owner’s Manual
Rotate the lockout assembly forward and up. See Fig-ure S14. Then push it rearward, so the pin ends will restin the notches in the sides of the outer case. The ac-tuator is now “locked out” and will not apply any notice-able pressure to the trailer brakes as you back up. Ifyou can not rotate the assembly forward enough to reachthe notch, make sure the actuator’s coupler case as-sembly is pulled fully forward out of the outer case.
Figure S14: Brake Lockout Mechanism
NOTICETrailer components may be different betweenmodels and may change during the model year.Be sure to read all manufacturer’s literature sup-plied with your Four Winns® trailer.
S - 4 TRAILERING
A. Checklist
Before trailering, the trailer should be inspected for thefollowing:
1. Check tires for proper inflation. Under-inflated tiresheat up rapidly and may blowout or cause uncon-trolled swaying. Also, make sure lug nuts are tight.
2. Be sure the coupler is secured to the trailer hitch andsafety chains are attached.
3. Be sure trailer taillights and turning signals areoperational.
4. Check the brakes for proper operation prior to depar-ture.
5. Check lug nuts for proper tightness.
6. Check tie-downs and make sure boat is secured tothe trailer.
7. Check the springs and under carriage for loose parts.
8. Before towing, close and secure all hatches, doors,and windows. Securely store all equipment and can-vas. Installed tops, side curtains, and aft curtainscan be damaged while towing.
9. Carry a spare tire for both the trailer and towing ve-hicle. On extended trips, carry spare wheel bearings,seals, and races. Be sure and carry the proper toolsto complete the repairs.
To avoid bearing failure and possible wheel loss,keep wheel bearings properly lubricated. Insp-ect the wheel bearings periodically and checkfor damage.
10. Before trailering, inspect the bearings for wear andadequate lubrication. When traveling, check the wheelhubs during stops at gas stations, restaurants or otherplaces. If the hub feels abnormally hot, the bearingshould be inspected before continuing the trip.
B. Tactics
NOTICEBe sure to check the towing vehicle manufactu-rer’s literature for recommendations on towing.
1. Install outside rear view mirrors on both sides of thetowing vehicle to improve vision. Check the rear viewmirrors at frequent intervals to be sure trailer and boatare riding smoothly.
2. Allow at least one car and trailer length between ve-hicles for each 10 mph. DO NOT tailgate.
3. Use low gear (on manual transmissions) when travel-ing up steep hills or over sand, gravel, or dirt roads.
4. Use care if shifting to a lower gear while travelingdownhill. This could activate the trailer’s surge brakesfor the duration of the downhill run and cause over-heating. Extended overheating could result in com-plete loss of the trailer brakes.
To help prevent overheating, slow down while approach-ing the crest of a hill and maintain a slow, controlleddownhill speed. Apply brakes in short intervals toallow time between braking for the brakes to cool off.
5. When rounding turns on highways or streets, DO NOTcut corners. Also, travel slowly over railroad tracks.
Section SPage 12
Freedom™/Horizon™ Owner’s Manual
For more information on maintenance, refer to themanufacturer’s literature included in the owner’s packet.
D. Brake Actuator & Coupling Assembly
When storing or parking your trailer, keep the brake ac-tuator and coupling assembly (coupler) off the ground toprevent dirt buildup in the ball socket. Keep the couplerclean of dirt, tar, and mud. Lubricate the coupler withSAE 30 weight oil every six months or as often as neces-sary. Replace any worn or defective parts. If the coupleris damaged, contact your Four Winns dealer for replace-ment parts. DO NOT use a damaged or bent couplerassembly.
For more information on maintenance, refer to themanufacturer’s literature included in the owner’s packet.
NOTICEThe trailer should be set up at a slight angle toallow for water to drain aft in the boat.
E. Winch
The winch should be kept clean of dirt, ice, paint, etc.,and the spur gears should have a film of grease on themat all times. Apply several drops of SAE 30 weight oil tothe ratchet pawl mechanism, bushings and pinion shaftthreads twice per season.
Replace any worn or damaged parts. For more informa-tion on maintenance, refer to the manufacturer’s litera-ture included in the owner’s packet.
F. Lights
Inspect wiring for cuts or bare wire which could causeelectrical shorts. Repair or replace defective wiring. Re-place cracked or damaged lens and always carry sparebulbs. Replacement parts may be ordered through a FourWinns dealer.
G. Tie-downs
Replace frayed or damaged tie-downs. Periodically, lu-bricate the ratchet mechanism with a fine oil or siliconespray. Replacement parts may be ordered through a FourWinns dealer.
6. If the trailer begins to “fishtail” when accelerating, re-duce speed until it ceases. If the trailer “fishtails”again during acceleration, stop to investigate thecause of the problem. Check for improper trailer loadand uneven weight distribution inside the boat. Checkthe winch line and tie-downs. Also check the tiresfor proper inflation or damage. If necessary, redis-tribute the load before continuing.
For additional information on trailering, refer to the “Boat-ing Basics” manual included in the owner’s packet.
S - 5 MAINTENANCE
A. Care of Exterior Finish
When using the trailer, keep in mind the paint can scratchand become marred during normal use. In most cases,touch-up paint can be ordered. Please contact a FourWinns dealer for assistance.
Some maintenance is required to maintain the finish andminimize rusting. The trailer should be washed and rinsedwith clean water immediately after each use. On galva-nized trailers, rinse only with clean water. Dependingupon use, waxing is recommended twice a year. Usepaste wax designed for enamel paint.
B. Bunks
The bunks should be replaced if they are cracked, warped,or evidence of dry-rot is found. The replacement boardsshould be treated lumber of the same length and width.
DO NOT burn damaged or broken bunks. Toxicfumes will be released. Dispose of bunks prop-erly.
C. Swivel Jack
Keep the swivel jack clean of dirt, tar, and mud. Lubri-cate every six months. The swivel jack’s inner ram shouldbe lubricated with SAE 30 weight oil. The top cover maybe removed to lubricate the gears with wheel bearinggrease.
Replace all worn and damaged parts. ALWAYS use themanufacturer’s replacement parts. Replacement partsmay be ordered through your Four Winns dealer.
Section SPage 13
™
Freedom™/Horizon™ Owner’s Manual
H. Wheels
Some maintenance is required to maintain the finish andretard rusting of painted rims. The wheels should becleaned with dishwashing soap and water and rinsed withclean water immediately after each use. Waxing is recom-mended three to four times each year.
Aluminum wheel rims may be cleaned with dishwashingsoap and water. However, cleaning products specificallyfor aluminum are available and can be used. Cleanersmay be obtained from Four Winns dealers and your localauto parts stores. The Mag wheel manufacturer recom-mends a product by Priority One® called Pro-Long Alu-minum/Chrome Wheel Protectant™. Galvanized rimsshould be rinsed only with clean water immediately aftereach use.
NOTICEALWAYS read the manufacturer’s instructionson the label before using any product.
I. Brakes
Keep the actuator clean of dirt, tar, and mud. The actua-tor and internal parts should be lubricated at all timeswith SAE 30 weight oil. The hitch ball may be lubricatedwith automotive grease or lubricant made for hitch balls.
Periodically inspect the brake system for leaks. Checkall hoses for cuts or wear. Replace all defective hoses.The master cylinder should be filled within 1/2 inch fromthe top of the reservoir.
At the beginning of each year, inspect the brakes for ex-cessive wear, have linings replaced if necessary.
If the brakes need bleeding, consult your Four Winns dealerfor assistance. If unavailable, a brake or auto repair facil-ity can perform the repair.
Refer to the manufacturer’s literature included in theowner’s packet for additional information on the brakesystem.
J. Bearings
Wheel bearings and seals should be inspected at thesame time as brakes. Have worn or defective parts re-placed. Grease bearings and seals at this time and atthe end of the boating season. Bearing Protectors shouldbe greased three to four times a year. A grease fitting isprovided.
Four Winns uses the Accu-Lube™ bearing protectionsystem on its trailers. The Accu-Lube™ design is sub-mersible and provides for grease flow that completelyrepacks and protects the bearings. This lubrication sys-tem disallows water entry, thus extending the life of thebearings, spindle and hub.
Lubricate the bearings as follows:
1. Remove the rubber plug.
2. Insert the grease gun into the grease fitting. Pump grease until old grease comes back out the front.
3. Remove old grease and reinstall rubber plug.
NOTICEMost bearing failures are due to improper main-tenance. Be sure to inspect bearings and sealsas noted in Section S-6B and refer to themanufacturer’s literature included with your trailer.
S - 6 AXLE INSPECTION & REPAIRS
As a general rule, repairs and maintenance should beperformed by qualified servicing personnel. Our axlemanufacturer recommends that a certified mechanicshould be consulted on the following items:
1. Broken axle2. Broken spring3. Worn spring eye bushing parts4. Sagging springs5. Welding fatigue6. Serious leakage of seal7. Tire wear8. Loose or worn suspension parts9. All brake related adjustments, inspections and prob-
lems
A. Removal of Hub
The following instructions pertain only to trailers manu-factured by Four Winns. To remove the hub to inspectthe bearings and seals, refer to Figure S15 and the fol-lowing instructions:

PRE-LAUNCH AND UNDERWAY
T - 1 LAUNCH AND CRUISE CHECKLIST
Get a current weather report. If the weather will not be favorable, postpone your trip.
If your boat has been out of the water, check to see that all bilge water has drained out.
Install hull drain plugs.
Inspect the hull and propeller for damage. Excessive dirt or marine growth will effect your boat’sperformance and fuel efficiency.
Check the electrical system and navigation lights.
If your boat has been in the water, run the bilge pump until the flow of water stops.
Check that all required safety equipment is on board and in good working condition. Examplesinclude personal flotation devices (PFDs), horn, fire extinguisher, visual distress signals, etc. Takealong a gallon of drinking water.
Check that other important equipment is on board. Examples include mooring lines, anchor andline, tool kit, first aid kit, etc.
Open engine compartment. Inspect for fuel odors and visible leaks in the fuel, oil, coolant, exhaustand power steering systems.
Visually inspect engine for cracked hose, defective belts, or other signs of engine problems. Checkengine oil and battery water levels. Check power steering fluid level. Check battery electrolyterange.
Check fuel level. Fuel tanks should be filled to slightly less than capacity. Allow for fuel expansion.
Check that all engine drains are closed (stern drives).
Make sure navigation charts and equipment are on board.
Check operation of steering system, navigation lights, and operation of horn.
Make sure passengers and crew know what to do in case of an emergency and how to operatesafety equipment.
Make sure all required documents are on board.
File a float plan with a responsible party ashore.
Keep an eye on the weather. Be aware of possible changing conditions by monitoring localweather broadcasts prior to departure. The captain or first mate should personally monitor strongwinds and electrical storms.

Freedom™/Horizon™ Owner’s Manual
T - 2 FUELING
Do not smoke, extinguish all open flames, STOPall engines and other devices that could causesparks, including the bilge blower. Do not useelectrical switches or accessories. Shut OFFall stoves that may produce a spark or flame.Close all openings into the cabin area of the boat.
A. Recommendations
When fueling or having your boat fueled by anattendant, be sure the waste pump-out or freshwater fitting is not mistaken for the gas fill.
Although alcohol boosts the octane level of gasoline, italso attacks the rubber fuel distribution lines and evenmetal fuel system components. Alcohol will permeatemost fuel hoses and other components such as fuelpump, gaskets and seals, and can also contribute tofuel system contamination.
The hoses we use in our boats are alcohol-resistant asare the materials used by the engine manufacturers. Ifonly fuel containing alcohol is available, or the presenceof alcohol is unknown, you must perform more frequentinspections for leaks and abnormalities. Any sign ofleakage or deterioration requires your immediate atten-tion. Refer to the engine manufacturer’s recommenda-tions on fuel type and octane ratings.
B. Preliminary Guidelines
1. Safely secure your boat to the dock.
2. Close all hatches, windows, doors and compartmentsto prevent accumulation of fuel vapors.
3. Ensure that a fire extinguisher is readily available.
4. Do not store fuel in areas that are not adequatelyventilated.
5. Use only fuel lubricants recommended by the enginemanufacturer.
C. Pumping Fuel
Follow engine manufacturer’s recommendationsfor types of fuel and oil. Use of improper productscan damage the engine and void the warranty.
1. Be sure to fuel in a well-lit area gasoline spills areunnoticeable under poor lighting or in the dark.
2. Remove the gas fill cover.
3. Insert the fuel supply nozzle, keeping it in contactwith the fuel fill plate to guard against static producedsparks.
4. Stand away from the fuel tank vent and gas fill duringfueling. Splashback may occur and can be an eyeirritant and/or a fire hazard.
5. Avoid spillage. Wipe up any excess fuel immedi-ately.
6. After pumping approximately 10 gallons of fuel intothe fuel tank, inspect the engine and fuel tank areafor any signs of leakage. If no leaks or other prob-lems are detected, resume fueling.
7. Allow space at the top of the tank for thermal expan-sion.
8. If fuel cannot be pumped in at a reasonable rate,check for fuel vent blockage or a kink in the line.
D. After Fueling
1. Replace the gas fill cover and wipe up any fuel spilled.Discard rags used in a safe place ashore.
2. Open the engine compartment and all hatches, win-dows, doors and other compartments that wereclosed during fueling. Inspect these areas for theodor of fuel vapors and visible fuel leakage.
Investigate and correct any sign of fuel leakageor indication of vapors before starting engine.Do not run blower or operate any electricalswitch until problem is corrected. Fire or explo-sion may result.

Freedom™/Horizon™ Owner’s Manual
interfere with operation of the boat. Passengers shouldboard the boat one-at-a-time and be seated. Passen-gers should remain seated during loading of the boat tomaintain an even trim.
Passengers seated in the bow area shouldnot obstruct the driver’s vision.
IMPORTANT: Passengers are prohibited from riding onthe bow with feet hanging over the side or ride whilesitting on the stern, gunwales or seatbacks. The CoastGuard considers these acts to be negligent or grosslynegligent operation. They are prohibited by law becausefalls from moving boats are a major cause of fatal recre-ational boating accidents.
T - 3 LOADING PASSENGERS AND GEAR
NOTE: All boats under 20 feet in length must have acapacity rating plate showing the recommended per-son capacity as well as the maximum capacity of theboat including persons and gear.
When loading your boat, remember to distribute the loadevenly. Keep the load low and do not overload. Thecapacity plate affixed to your boat states the maximumload capacity. The plate shows in pounds, the amountof persons and gear that the boat will safely handle un-der normal conditions. U. S. Coast Guard regulationsestablishes these load capacity ratings. Position pas-sengers and gear so that the load is balanced.
When loading, always step into the boat, never boardby jumping. Have someone on the dock pass your gearaboard. Secure all gear firmly so it doesn’t move or

3. Attach the ignition interrupt lanyards securely toyour body. In the event that you move away fromthe helm area and beyond the length of the lanyard,the engine will be turned off.
4. If your boat has fuel injection, turn the key to startthe engine. Engine will not turn over if throttle is notin the neutral position.
If your boat does not have fuel injection, depressthe engine warmup button to advance the throttleseveral times and leave it in the SLOW/START po-sition. This will actuate the carburetor acceleratorpump and feed fuel to the engine. Turn ignition keyto START position.
5. When engine is cold, run engine approximately one(1) to two (2) minutes at fast idle speed (1200 to1500 rpm). This step is not necessary with fuelinjected engines.
6. Once engine has warmed up, check water tempera-ture gauge to ensure engine temperature stayswithin optimum range. If temperature reading isabnormally high, stop engine immediately and in-spect for cause of high reading.
7. With engine running, voltmeter should show a read-ing between 12 and 15 volts.
8. Check steering operation. Turn steering wheel fullto port and starboard while observing outdrive move-ment.
9. Inspect for fuel odors and visible leaks in the fuel,oil, coolant, exhaust and power steering systems.
10. Make sure boat is securely moored to the dockand engine is idling. Then move the throttle forwardand then aft and back to neutral to check for properoperation of the shifting motion. Be careful. Leavethe engine in gear for only a second or two.
T - 5 MANEUVERING
Boat steering is not self-centering. Steering iseffected by engine and propeller torque, trimtab setting, wave and current action and thespeed of the hull through the water. Constantattention to steering is required for safe opera-tion.
IMPORTANT: The presence of the capacity plate doesnot relieve the boat operator from the responsibility ofusing common sense or sound judgment. Turbulent wa-ters and adverse weather conditions will reduce the maxi-mum load capacity rating of the boat.
T - 4 STARTING PROCEDURES
The operation and maintenance manual supplied withyour engine provides pre-start, starting and cold-startinginstructions. The following information is merely a guideand not intended to explain in detail all starting proce-dures and instructions. Refer to your engine owner’smanual.
A. Preliminary Checks
1. Secure boat to the dock before attempting to startengine. The boat should be kept secure until theengine is running and warmed up.
2. Operate the bilge pump until the flow of water stops.
3. Make sure the throttle is in the neutral position andstern drive or outboard is lowered into water.
4. Make sure passengers seated in the bow area donot obstruct the driver’s vision.
B. Starting
To prevent excessive exposure and reduce thepossibility of carbon monoxide accumulationin the cockpit areas of the boat, the operatorshould provide adequate ventilation in each ofthese areas. Utilize hatches, doors, windowsand side vents to increase air movement. SeeSection B-2 for information about the dangersof Carbon Monoxide.
Notice: Additional starting information is located in Sec-tion A.
1. Check all electrical systems and navigation lights.
2. If your boat is equipped with an optional battery se-lector switch, turn the battery switch to 1, 2, or BOTHor ON or EMERGENCY START ONLY position (de-pending on which model you have. )
Section TPage 5
Freedom™/Horizon™ Owner’s Manual
Once the boat has slowed and motor is idling, place theshift in REVERSE. Gradually increasing reverse powerwith the throttle will allow you to stop the boat in a veryshort distance.
NOTE: A boat will not respond to steering in reversenearly as well as it does when going forward, so do notexpect to accomplish tight turning maneuvers whenbacking up.
Remember that all boats steer by the stern (the feelingis much like steering your automobile in reverse). Thismeans that the stern of your boat will swing in the direc-tion opposite to your turn. For example, when you turnthe helm wheel to the left, the stern of your boat willswing in the direction opposite to your turn. This isespecially important to keep in mind when docking, op-erating in close quarters with other boats, or when ap-proaching a swimmer or downed skier in the water.
Always look behind you and to both sides of the boatbefore slowing down. Tell your passengers your inten-tions to allow them time to make adjustments to theirbalance or positions.
Slowly pull back on throttles, glance back and see if alarge following wave is approaching the transom. If sogive the engines a little throttle as the wave arrives tokeep wave from rolling over the transom.
Once you have spent enough time practicing maneu-vers and have a feel for how the boat handles, you willbe ready to run in open waters.
T - 6 ACCELERATION
Before accelerating to bring you boat on plane,be sure that the area in front of your boat isclear. The bow will rise out of the water mo-mentarily before you plane and may temporarilyobstruct your vision.
If you have never had your boat on plane before, choosea calm day for your first on plane experience. Neverboat beyond your ability and experience.
Before bringing your boat “on plane”, check the entirearea to make sure you have a clear, safe path. As youthrottle up to accelerate, your boat will increase its angleof trim, causing the bow to ride high. From a maximumangle, the boat will level out to its planing attitude with
When all your pre-departure checks have been com-pleted and the engine has warmed up, you will be readyto leave the dock. Take into account the amount ofwind, tide current, and other forces that may affect yourmaneuvering as you leave the dock. Idle speeds workbest when maneuvering to and from the dock. Do notforget to release the mooring lines.
A. Leaving the Dock
You are ready to leave the dock after the engine haswarmed up. Check all gauges for appropriate readingsbefore casting off. If oil pressure is abnormally low orengine temperature is abnormally high, stop the engineimmediately. Check voltmeter to be sure the chargingsystem is working properly. Check for fuel, oil, andexhaust leaks. Correct the cause of any abnormal con-dition before getting underway.
Make sure passengers sitting in the bow areado not obstruct the operator’s vision when cast-ing off or while underway.
After making sure your boat is ready, check wind, tide,current and other forces that will affect the way youmaneuver your boat away from the dock. Throw moor-ing lines off to your boat. Shift your boat’s engine intoforward or reverse depending on whether you want tomove the bow or the stern away from the dock first.Run your engine at a slow speed as you move awayfrom the dock. If you move the bow out first, watch thatthe stern of the boat does not swing into the dock or apiling.
Once away from the dock, devote some time to learn-ing how to maneuver. Practice docking using an imagi-nary dock. Practice stopping and reversing.
B. Stopping
Boats have no brakes. Stopping is accomplished bybacking down on the throttle. Practice stopping ma-neuvers and learn early how your boat reacts. Fromforward motion, pull the throttle back towards NEUTRAL.Depending on your speed, the distance the boat travelsuntil it comes to a complete stop will vary. The ability tomeasure the distance will only be acquired through ex-perience.

point your boat will be plowing through the water withthe bow down too far. Trim the lower unit up slightlyuntil the bow comes up. If you trim the lower unit outtoo far, your boat will porpoise or the propeller will cavi-tate, and the bow will slam up and down on the water.Your boat is trimmed correctly when it is just short ofporpoising or propeller cavitation, under ideal runningconditions.

continued acceleration. This maximum angle is knownas the “hump”. Because visibility, handling, and perfor-mance are reduced, it is advisable to get “over the hump”as soon as possible. A few seconds at full throttle shouldget the boat over the hump and into its planing attitude.
After getting over the hump, accelerate until reaching acomfortable plane, then throttle down to cruising speed.This also will provide for better fuel efficiency.
T - 7 TRIMMING YOUR BOAT
A. Trim Tabs
Trim tabs are used to add lift to the boat’s stern, therebychanging the boat’s attitude (see Figure T2). This liftcan help the boat get on plane faster and remain on planeat slower speeds than if no tabs were used. Used inde-pendently, tabs can also correct listing conditions causedby crosswinds, unbalanced loading and quartering seas.Trimming your boat properly involves two separate pro-cedures, trimming or tilting the lower unit and setting thetrim tabs.
When you are sitting dead in the water, your drive shouldbe down and the trim tab switches are in the BOW UPposition. Accelerate until you get onto plane. At this

ate within the recommended rpm range with a heavyload.
The power unit should never be trimmed up to apoint where the propeller cavitates (or slips). A rapidincrease in engine rpm’s is evidence of cavitation.If this occurs accidentally while running at fullthrottle, immediately lower the drive trim and re-duce the throttle until the slipping stops. If neces-sary, have your dealer reset the trim limit switch (ifprovided) to avoid overtrimming in the future.
If the prop slips at lower planing speeds, the drivemay be trimmed too high. Immediately lower thedrive unit until the prop grabs again to restore effi-ciency.
7. Trimming out, in addition to raising the bow, alsolifts the boat higher, gaining speed because lesshull is in the water.
8. The trailering position of some stern drives is con-trolled by a separate switch on the dash switchpanel or throttle/shift control. Do not activate thisswitch while engine is running. Doing so canseverely damage the lower unit and engine.
NOTE: Refer to the control instructions regarding thepower trim controls installed on your boat.
Remember that most boats react very slowly to trimtabs. Often boat owners do not give trim tabs time towork. Press the trim tab switches for only one secondat a time and then allow some time for the boat to react.If the boat is still listing after a minute or two, press thetrim tab switch again for a one second interval. Thelabels on the trim tab switches indicate what you wantyour boat to do, not what you want the tabs to do.
It is a good idea to take your boat out onto open watershortly after you get it and experiment with the trimtabs. After you get your boat onto plane, set the tabs invarious positions and note how your boat reacts. Thiswill give you a feel for how the trim tabs work.
It is possible to extend the cylinder life expectancy onyour trim tabs. To do this, keep the cylinders retractedwhile at dockside. Press both trim tab controls downuntil tabs reach their full up position.
B. Tilt/Trim Control Switches
NOTE: Trim refers to the angle of the lower unit in rela-tion to the bottom of the boat. With respect to trim-ming, the words in, down, under, and forward, have thesame meaning as do up, out, and aft.
1. The standard trim control switch is located on thecontrol lever handle.
2. The switch controls the position of the stern drive.Proper trim is very important in boating.
3. In the case of low or heavy bow attitude, the boattends to “plow” (Figure T3. The lower unit is trimmedtoo far under or forward. Trim the unit UP (out) tocorrect this situation.
4. If the bow is too high, the boat tends to “porpoise”(Figure T5). The drive unit is trimmed up or out toofar. Trim DN (in) to correct.
5. A good practice is to get underway (especially whenfully loaded or pulling a skier) with the unit trimmedall the way DN (under). After the boat is on plane,adjust the trim out slightly to obtain the proper bowattitude and engine speed.
6. Trim also affects propeller selection and fuel effi-ciency. All models should be “propped” to be in theupper half of the maximum rpm range with the boatlightly loaded and the drive trimmed up to maxi-mum. This configuration allows the engine to oper-

T - 8 NAVIGATION LIGHTS
Although night activities are limited, cruising at night canbe very pleasurable. It can also be dangerous if youdon’t pay close attention to water levels and obstacles.Be especially careful of shallow waters and watch forsubmerged debris, rocks and other obstacles in the water.Your navigation lights are intended only to prevent colli-sion, not to improve your night vision. You may chooseto use a spotlight instead.
NOTE: It is illegal to use your spotlight as a headlight.Use it only temporarily to check the position of your boatand the surrounding area.
Your boat has one white (stern), one red (port) and onegreen (starboard) light. The stern light may be a remov-able pole light. To use the light, line up the two-prongplug in the pole with the receptacle in the base. Plugthe light in, and lock it into place with lever/slide lock.When not in use, stow the light inside your boat for safe-keeping. This light can be turned on or off at the helm.
Check lights for proper operation before heading out atnight. You should also learn to identify the running lightcombinations for other vessels. We recommend thatyou participate in a boating safety course to further learnabout navigation lights and safe boating practices.
The anchor lights and navigation lights are controlled bya switch at the helm. The anchor light switch allows youto turn on just the stern (white) light when anchored ormoored. While underway, use the navigation light switchto turn on the stern (white), port (red) and starboard(green) lights. Lights are off when switches are in theOFF position.
T - 9 HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS
A. Storms
Storms sometimes appear without advance notice. Al-though weather information from meteorological obser-vation and reporting stations is available, weather bu-reaus are known to have failures in their predictions orinformation gathering equipment. There is no substitutefor a strong understanding of what action to take whenthe weather takes a turn for the worse. Many marinasfly weather signals. You should learn to recognize thesesignals and monitor your local weather forecasts beforeleaving port.
The present and forecasted weather conditions are ofprimary consideration, but a threat of possible stormsshould always be a concern. Observance of the follow-ing information will help in your safety afloat if stormsdo occur:
• Keep a watch on the horizon for approaching stormindicators.
• Turn radio ON. Dial in local weather station andmonitor forecast. If your boat has a VHF radio,check the weather channels.
• The best possible situation is to return to a safeport if time allows.
• Close and secure all portals and hatches. Stow allloose gear below deck and tie down any gear re-quired to remain on deck.
• Reduce speed as the seas build. Make sure allpassengers are wearing their PFDs.
• If you lose power, keep the boat headed into thewaves by rigging a sea anchor off the bow. If thereis no sea anchor on board, use a canvas bucket orany object that will offer resistance.
• Radar reflectors (if installed on your boat) shouldbe 18 inches diagonally and placed 12 feet abovethe waterline.
B. Fog
Fog is a result of either warm surface or cold surfaceconditions. You can judge the likelihood of fog forma-tion by periodically measuring the air temperature anddew point temperature. If the spread (difference) be-tween these two temperatures is small, you likely willincur a fog situation. Remember the following guide-lines:
• Turn on running lights.
• As fog sets in, take bearings and mark your posi-tion on the chart while continuing to log your courseand speed.
• Make sure all persons aboard are wearing theirPFDs.
• If your boat has depth finding equipment, takesounding and match them with soundings on yourcharts.
Section TPage 9
Freedom™/Horizon™ Owner’s Manual
• Station a person forward on the boat as a lookout.
• Reduce your speed. From time to time, stop en-gine and listen for fog signals.
• Sound the proper horn or fog bell at proper intervalsto warn other boaters.
• If there is any doubt in continuing boat movement,anchor. Listen for other fog signals while continu-ing to sound the proper fog horn or bell for a boat atanchor.
C. Running Aground
To prevent boat damage, DO NOT use deckhardware or water ski pylon for towing. Use acommercial towing service.
Operating in shallow water can present a number ofhazards. Sand bars in narrow inlets are constantly shift-ing, making it difficult to mark them with buoys. Some-times sand bars are indicated by waves as they forminto breakers when passing over sand bars. In coastalareas, tides can change water levels by as much as 30feet. Check with local marinas or Coast Guard stationsfor tide tables and current charts.
If your boat runs aground, first check persons aboardfor injury. Then check for damage to the boat. If thedrive unit strikes an underwater hazard, check for boatand drive unit damage. If the engine vibrates exces-sively after striking an underwater obstruction, it mayindicate a damaged propeller. If vibration is noticeable,return to port slowly to prevent further drive and enginedamage from an out-of-balance condition. Watch thetemperature gauge to make sure you do not overheatthe engine.
If the boat is not taking on any water, it may be possibleto rock the boat by shifting the weight of the passen-gers and gear and by raising the drive unit while revers-ing the engine.
If you ground your boat on a sand bar, shut down theengine and seek help from another boater or radio forhelp. See your dealer as soon as possible, as sandingested in the engine cooling system can cause majorengine damage.
D. Warning Markers
It is a good idea to find out about hazardous areas andhow they are marked by asking your local authorities.
• Boaters must also recognize the flag designs whichindicate that scuba divers are present and keep wellclear of the area.
• Watch for swimmers. Swimming areas may not bemarked. Steer clear from the area and always re-main alert.
• Distress flags indicate a fellow boater is in need ofassistance.
• Navigation markers serve as a means of identifyingnavigable routes and indicate water hazards. Boat-ers should become familiar with navigation markersand stay within marked boundaries and clear ofhazards.
T - 10 REACTING TO EMERGENCIES
Be prepared to deal with emergencies before they hap-pen. Try to formulate a plan for each type of emergencyin advance so that decisions can be made quickly andwithout hesitation. Precious moments lost can meanthe difference between losing and saving a life.
A. Flooding
If your boat starts taking on water, activate the bilgepump immediately. Make sure all passengers are wear-ing their PFDs. Open the engine compartment, look forthe cause of the flooding. Check all hoses, through hullfittings, seacocks and strainers. If flooding occurs as aresult of collision or grounding damage, call for assis-tance and head for shore if possible.
B. Capsizing and Man Overboard
By far, the largest number of boating fatalities involvecapsizing and falling overboard accidents. By beingprepared ahead of time with an appropriate plan of ac-tion, you can greatly lower your chances and your pas-sengers’ chances of becoming seriously injured.
Section TPage 10
Freedom™/Horizon™ Owner’s Manual
5. Shore up the hole with a spare PFD or bunk cush-ion from your boat.
6. While blocking the hole, trim the boat so that thehole is out of the water.
F. Fire
Most fires are caused by electrical problems or care-less fueling practices. A fire on board your boat is aserious emergency. You must work quickly to imple-ment safety procedures. If a fire occurs, immediatelystop the engine.
1. Make sure all persons aboard are wearing theirPFDs.
2. If the fire is small, attempt to put it out with your fireextinguisher. If the fire is in the engine compart-ment, turn off the bilge blower. Do not open theengine compartment. This feeds oxygen to the fireand may cause it to flare up.
3. If the fire gets out of control, execute a distresssignal and call for help if equipped with a ship-to-shore radio.
4. All persons aboard should jump overboard and swima safe distance away from the flames.
IMPORTANT: All persons aboard should know the lo-cation and proper operation of the fire extinguishers.
Guidelines
• Use only approved marine cooking and heating sys-tems.
• Open flames demand constant attention.
• Keep flammable materials in approved containersin a overboard vented locker sealed from the interiorof the boat.
• Ensure ventilation systems are unobstructed.
• Remove mooring covers before starting engine.
• Check the bilge for fuel leaks.
• Extinguish smoking materials carefully.
• Use special care with flame or high temperaturesaround urethane foam.
C. Capsizing
Wear PFDs or have them readily available at all times. Ifyour boat capsizes, and others were on board, locatethem and guide them to the safety of the hull. Even if theboat floats in an upside-down position, stay with it. Theboat hull is much easier for rescuers to spot than a hu-man head sticking out of the water. DO NOT attempt toswim ashore, it may be further than it looks.
D. Man Overboard
Think through and follow these procedures if someone inyour boat falls overboard.
• Remember, every second counts, you must act fast.
• Move throttles to idle position immediately and yell“MAN OVERBOARD. ”
• Throw some floating object overboard immediately.Keep your required Type IV PFD accessible at alltimes for such an emergency.
• Keep the person in the water in sight at all times.Have a passenger do nothing but watch the person.Do not go into the water to help the victim. Oneperson in the water is enough trouble.
• Circle around quickly, approaching into the wind andwaves. When the person is alongside, put the en-gine in neutral and throw them a Type IV PFD with aline attached or extend a paddle or boat hook withinhis/her reach.
E. Collision
If a serious collision occurs, you should first check thecondition of all passengers aboard, then inspect yourboat to determine the extent of damage.
1. Make sure all persons aboard are wearing their PFDs.
2. If you need help and your boat has a ship-to-shoreradio, first contact the U. S. Coast Guard (VHF Chan-nel 16) or other rescue authorities immediately.
3. Prepare to assist the other vessel unless your pas-sengers and/or boat are in danger.
4. If the bow of the other boat penetrated your boat’shull, prepare to block the opening once the boatsare separated.
Section TPage 11
Freedom™/Horizon™ Owner’s Manual
• Check cleaning products for flammability.
• Ventilate when cleaning or painting.
• Disconnect electrical system from its power sourcebefore performing maintenance.
• Replace breaker or fuse with same amperage de-vice.
• Electrical appliances must be within rated amper-age of boat circuits. Observe the boat carefullywhile the electrical system is being energized.
• Allow only a qualified marine electrician to servicethe boats electrical system.
G. Medical Emergency
Accidents while boating can and may happen. Be pre-pared to handle these emergencies when they happen.Keeping a first aid kit and dry blankets on board canassist during these situations. It is also a good idea tocontact your local Red Cross for information and train-ing on first aid and CPR.
H. Propulsion Failure
Before you call for help regarding an engine or drive unitfailure, it is a good idea to eliminate the possibility ofsimple problems. Turn off the engine and check to seethat (1) there is fuel in the tank; (2) the engine coolingintakes on the outdrive are not clogged; (3) props areclean and free of weeds, netting, etc. ; (4) no hoses areleaking; (5) there is oil in the engine.
Once you have checked out the possibilities listed aboveand find they are not the problem, call for help givingyour position and a detailed description of your boat.
I. Control Failure
In the unlikely event of a shift/throttle failure, shut downthe engine immediately. Carefully check the controlconnections in the engine compartment to see if theyare secure. If not, try to locate the attaching hardwareand reassemble. If that is not possible, try to use what-ever is available such as paper clips, hair clips, tape,etc. , to secure the connections. If a temporary repairis made, return to port at the slowest steerable speedand be prepared to take emergency action should thetemporary repair fail also. Have your dealer make re-pairs before using the boat again.
J. Steering Failure
If a problem with the steering occurs, shut down theengine immediately. Check the connections to the driveunit in the engine compartment. Some boats have apush/pull cable while others will have hydraulic hoseconnections. With cable connections, check the at-taching hardware and tighten it if necessary. If you havehydraulic hose connections, check to see if they areleaking. If so, tighten the connections and check thehydraulic fluid reservoir level. Most stern drives are powerassisted and have their own hydraulic reservoir and en-gine mounted drive pump; check the level of reservoirand drive pump belt. If the steering is not operatingproperly, do not operate the boat and call for assistance.
K. Additional Underway Information
• Always be aware of local laws on noise limits. Noisemeans engine noise, radio noise or even yelling bypeople on your boat. Good seamanship demandsthat you operate your boat quietly so as not to in-fringe on the rights of others. Don't use thru-tran-som exhaust unless you are well off shore.
• You are responsible for any damage or injury causedby your boat's wake. Observe no wake speed zonewarnings. Operate your boat with regard for thesafety of other boats and people in your boatingarea.
• Keep your engine well tuned to decrease exhausthydrocarbon emissions that pollute the air and wa-ter.
T - 11 RETURNING TO SHORE
A. Docking
Always approach the dock slowly. Think before acting.If you are wondering whether your boat will fit in a spaceagainst a dock, remember that pilings are often (but notalways) spaced 10 feet apart.
Remember that it is easier to control a boat in reversebecause a boat steers from the stern. When backinginto a slip, back so that bow swings into the wind ifpossible. You will have more control.
If possible, come in against the wind or current, which-ever is stronger. Approach the dock at a 30-45° angle.As the boat nears the dock, slowly swing parallel to it.Tie the bow line first; then the stern.
Section TPage 12
Freedom™/Horizon™ Owner’s Manual
If wind or current is moving toward the dock, move parallelto the dock further out. Let the wind or current push youin. Tie the stern first, then the bow.
Use extreme caution if wind or current is from your stern.Back in towards the dock slowly at a slight angle withengine in slow reverse. Gently swing parallel. Tie sternfirst, then the bow.
If the weather looks bad, use spring-lines from the bowand stern to dock amidships of the boat. Tie up on thedownwind side of the dock. If the wind is changeable,place fenders over the side between the boat and the dock.
B. Mooring
After you have positioned your boat next to the dock, youmust secure it with mooring lines to keep it in position.Mooring lines must be long enough to secure your boat inany docking situation. For example, the length of thelines for a 16-foot runabout should be at least 15 feet. Aneye splice at the end of each line works well with bow orstern cleats.
The mooring lines you will use most often are the bowline, the stern line, and spring lines as shown on FigureT6. Each line has a specific purpose. The bow line andthe stern line secure your boat’s bow and stern. Thetwo spring lines keep your boat from moving forward orbackward when you are moored alongside a dock.
If you are mooring your boat for a short time, bow andstern lines may be the only lines you will need. If youare mooring your boat for a longer time or the currentsare swift, you should use spring lines. The stern springline leads from the boat’s stern cleat forward to the pil-ing or cleat on the dock. The bow spring line leads fromthe bow cleat aft to the dock.
If you are mooring your boat in a slip, bow and springlines, port and starboard, will keep your boat in posi-tion.
NOTE: If tides are a consideration, be sure to leaveslack in the lines to make up for the rise and fall of thewater while your boat is docked.
