5.7.3 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
engine compartment. If any non-flammable materials are stored in
the engine compartment, secure them in place to ensure that they
cannot fall off or hit the machinery or block access to or from the
space.
Boats fitted with a fixed extinguishing system have an indicator
light on the switch panel. If the light goes out when the ignition is
on, either the extinguishing system has been triggered or there is a
malfunction.
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
