Always keep the bow high-
er than the stern every time the yacht is
lifted. DO NOT lift the stern higher than
the bow at any time as this may cause
water to enter the engines. Engine failure
is possible if water enters the engine
cylinders. The water can cause “hydro-
static lock” and bend the piston rods.
“Hydrostatic lock” is a situation where
the piston cannot travel to its full upward
position due to the presence of a liquid
above the piston and extreme pressure
is forced downward as the piston moves
upward. Even a small quantity of water
can cause rust or other internal engine
damage.
NOTE: Silverton recommends an optional
storage cradle with the purchase of your
yacht. The cradle is factory made to conform
to the bottom of your yacht for safe storage
and minimizes the risk of hull distortion.
