The location of thru-hulls and related shut-off valves are indicat-

drainage.
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.
CAUTION! Despite self-drainage, water may find its way into the
bilge through motor well openings and inspection
doors. Check the bilge level before setting out to the
sea and drain it with the bilge pump provided.
In the Silver Shark and Silver Hawk models, 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
