FUEL SAFETY CHECKLIST FOR BOARDING
This fuel safety checklist is designed to be used as a quick reference to minimize the risks associated
with fuel hazards. You should refer to this checklist every time you board your yacht. Read your
Owner’s Manual so that you have a full understanding of the fuel system on your yacht.
Fuel, especially gasoline is extremely
fl
ammable. Failure to follow these recom-
mendations and the rules of good common sense could result in
fi
re or explosion; which could
cause personal injury or death.
“HAPPY SAFE BOATING”
FROM THE SILVERTON TEAM
Before approaching your yacht,
extinguish all smoking materials
and make certain there are no other
sources of possible ignition near
your yacht.
Approach your yacht alone to make
the initial inspection. Have your
guests and crew standby a safe dis-
tance away.
From the dock visually inspect your
yacht for any fuel leaks from the
deck
fi
lls or hull vents and take no-
tice if there is any odor of fuel.
Once onboard, open cabin door and
sniff at doorway, then inside cabin,
for fuel odor.
Open the engine compartment hatch
and sniff for fuel odor.

Inspect the engine compartment and
all bilge compartments for fuel leaks
and sniff for fuel odor.
If there are any signs of fuel leak-
age, either visually or by odor, open
doors, hatches, and windows. Evac-
uate the boat and inform the Dock
Master. Have an authorized Service
Technician inspect your yacht.
If no signs of fuel are present, board
your guests and crew.
Run exhaust blowers for
fi
ve min-
utes before starting the engines or
generator.
Always be aware of the hazards as-
sociated with fuel and practice good
common sense.
