Fire protection

All Silver boats come with a 2 kg hand-held fire extinguisher
(13A70BC). Moreover, boats with petrol inboard motors have a fixed
extinguishing system in the engine compartment.
Fire extinguishers need to be serviced annually. Extinguishers old-
er than 10 years may not be used unless a new pressure test is car-
ried out. If the extinguisher is replaced, the new device must have the
same extinguishing capacity.
Keep the bilge clean and check the systems for any fuel or fuel va-
pour leaks regularly.
Do not suspend any freely hanging curtains or other fabrics above or
in the vicinity of the stove. Nor keep any flammable liquids in the en-
gine compartment. If any non-flammable materials are stored in the
engine compartment, secure them in place to ensure that they can-
not fall off or hit the machinery or block access to or from the space.
Never
− leave the boat unattended when the stove or heater is in operation.
− make any modifications to any boat systems (particularly the
electrical, fuel or gas system) or allow any unauthorised person
to do so.
− fill any fuel tanks or change gas bottles when the engine is running
or the stove or heater is in operation.
− smoke when handling fuel or gas.
− obstruct or make any modifications to the boat ventilation system

Electrical system

The wiring diagrams of the boat are shown in a special appendix.
Location and operation of the main circuit breaker:
− On the right-hand side of the steering position
− "OFF": Both batteries are off.
− "1": Battery 1 being used as service battery, charger recharging
both batteries.
− "2": Battery 2 being used as service battery, charger recharging
both batteries.
The locations of the instruments and switches for the electrical
equipment are shown in Fig. 6. The circuit fuses are located next
to the appropriate switch and the fuse sizes are indicated in Fig. 6.
The Finnboat ce model features resetting fuses that can be recon-
nected after being blown by flipping up the tipping switch.
If you leave the boat for a longer time, switch off the current from
the main circuit breaker.
When removing or re-installing batteries, take care not to touch the
poles of the battery with any metal object simultaneously or the
pole and the metal hull of the boat.
Use only the charger installed in the boat or a device of equal
capacity to recharge the batteries. Excessive recharging current
causes a risk of explosion.
When connecting the system to shore power, first connect the boat
outlet and then the jetty outlet.
WARNING! Never touch any part of a live AC system.
