STEP FIVE: SELF-BAILING DRAIN VALVE
Push the plug into sleeve located in the transom.
Note: Always make sure the plug is secured into the valve before launching the boat and
do not open while afloat.
MOTOR INSTALLATION
Most outboard motors can be mounted directly onto the transom engine mounting plate. Read the
instruction manual supplied by separate outboard motor manufacturer. All outboards are slightly different,
and some require special installation procedures. Below is a general outline:
1. Set the motor on tilt and tilt the mounting bracket.
2. Place the motor in the center of the transom.
3. Screw the mounting brackets securely to the transom.
WARNING
1. Read the entire manual before mounting or operating the outboard motor.
2. Gasoline (Petrol) is highly flammable, and its vapors are flammable and explosive. Handle and store
gasoline (petrol) carefully. Make sure there are no gas fumes or leaking fuel before starting the engine.
3. Improper mounting of the outboard motor could result in hazards such as poor handling, loss of
control, or fire.
4. If any item in the pre-operation check is not working properly, have it inspected and repaired before
operating the outboard motor. Otherwise, accidents may occur.
DEFLATION AND DISASSEMBLY
You only need to turn the Joint Screw Gasket counterclockwise for easy deflation.
IMPORTANT: Do not deflate one chamber completely while keeping others fully inflated. This could
damage the bulkheads of your boat.
PRESERVATION
You should endeavour to keep your Silver Marine® in good condition. Preferably store it deflated. If you
leave it outside, raise it off the ground and cover it from the elements especially strong sunshine, or
heavy, cold, raining, conditions. If you leave it in the water, use a boat cover. If you store it in a closet,
basement or garage, we suggest you pick a cool and dry spot. Keep the boat clean and dry.
Every boat now includes a boat cover to keep it protected while not in use.
