1. Lie your inflatable boat on a clean flat surface, then deflate the buoyancy chambers.
2. Remove oars or paddles and removable rowing seat.
3. Fold the aft cones towards the transom.
4. Fold the buoyancy compartments inwards, i.e. towards the center of the boat.
5. Close the caps over the valves in order to avoid any damage to the hull material.
6. Fold the boat around the transom from the back.
7. Fold the bow section on top of the previously folded rear part of the boat.
Place the boat inside your Silver Marine® carry bag or protective covering. When storing your inflatable
boat, ensure protection against rodents and other vermin, as they feed on the fabric of the boat.
OPERATION ON YOUR SILVER MARINE®
Rowing
Silver Marine® transom boats can be rowed easily.
Motoring & Safety
Silver Marine® transom 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 enough
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.
