OPERATING YOUR
YACHT
Most people who purchase a Silverton yacht
have boat handling knowledge and experi-
ence with other types of vessels. This sec-
tion of the Owner’s Manual provides basic
information concerning the safe operation of
your yacht and is a review of the information
contained in each of the “Systems Sections”.
Be certain to read and have a thorough
understanding of all systems described in
this Owner’s Manual BEFORE you operate
your yacht. Even if you are an experienced
yachtsman, you can bene
fi t from reviewing
the information contained in this section.
The fi rst cruise on your new Silverton yacht
should be a time for you to become ac-
quainted with the vessel. Before you depart
on your
fi rst cruise, you should be able to
answer YES to the following questions:
Has your Silverton Dealer completed the
“Pre-Delivery Service Inspection”?
Have you and your Silverton Dealer
signed the “Pre-Delivery Service Record”?
Have you completed and mailed all war-
ranty registration cards?
Have your read and do you have a com-
plete understanding of this Owner’s Manual
and the O.E.M. Manuals included with your
owner’s packet?
Does your yacht’s safety equipment com-
ply with all United States Coast Guard and
local regulations?
Is your safety equipment in operable con-
dition and accessible, if needed?
Has your Silverton Dealer reviewed the
operation of your yacht and its systems with
you?
Has your Silverton Dealer answered all
of your questions concerning the operation
of your yacht and all of its systems?
If you have completed the above preliminary
steps, you are ready to take your
fi rst cruise.
Before you depart, give some thought to the
cruise itself. Choose a calm day, if possible,
and take only those people who will be mem-
bers of your regular crew. Leave guests on
shore, so that you are able to concentrate
on learning as much as possible about your
new Silverton yacht without unnecessary
distractions.
