OPERATION
Rowing
Silver Marine® transom boats are great tenders and can be rowed easily.
Motoring & Safety
Silver Marine® boats are responsive and quick under power, and turn and track very well. All boats have
their maximum horsepower range, so take time to familiarize yourself with how your Silver Marine®
maneuvers in various conditions.
Basic seamanship is beyond the scope of this owner's manual, but we would like to go over a few
fundamentals. It is your responsibility to be aware of and comply with all relevant safety regulations. In
all water sports you should have reasonable swimming ability. Always respect the water and weather,
both can change rapidly and have surprised even the most seasoned mariner. Always carry approved
personal floatation devices (Life jackets) for every passenger. We strongly suggest that all boaters enroll
in at least one of the excellent water safety courses.
Towing
Tie each end of a small line to the front side D-Rings on your boat to form a bridle. Tie your towline to this
bridle, and not to the carry handle in the front of the boat. Using the bridle will distribute the force of
towing across the hull.
Stability and buoyancy
a) Stability is reduced by any weight added high up;
b) Air tanks shall not be punctured;
c) Breaking waves are a serious stability hazard.
