Four Winns is committed to customer satisfaction. If you are not completely satisfied with any aspect of your boat’s condition upon delivery or if it does not meet your expectations at any time during your ownership experience please contact your Four Winns Dealer or our customer service department.
In the event they are unable to assist you, or if you do not receive the response you expect, I invite you to contact me directly. Your feedback is invaluable to us as we strive to become the world’s most customer-focused recreational boat brand. A thorough review of this Owner’s Manual will help you make the most of your boating experience. It not only includes information specific to the model you have purchased, but guidelines for better boating as well.
