To ensure that the self-draining works properly, make sure that any
extra baggage and equipment is removed from the floor and from
the container boxes before you leave the boat to the dock. Make
sure that the boat floats sideways as balanced as possible by bal-
ancing other load items.
Silver boats are lined with a self-draining fibreglass interior.
The self-draining outlets in the aft corners of the interior must be
kept open and free from debris to ensure drainage.

doors. Check the bilge level before setting out to the
sea and drain it with the bilge pump provided.
On Silver Eagle, Silver Shark, and Silver Hawk, the deck
self-draining outlets can be closed with ball valves. On
the other models they can be closed with plugs. If the
boat is to carry a heavier-than-normal load, close the
self-draining outlets to prevent the ingress of water.
