In the event of an engine/generator com-
partment fi re, the following steps should
be taken to avoid the likelihood of personal
injury or death and to minimize property
damage:
• Remain calm and avoid panic.
• Immediately turn OFF all electrical power,
including the engine ignition and the engine
compartment ventilation blowers.NOTE: DO
NOT turn OFF power to your VHF radio.
• DO NOT open the engine/generator
compartment for at least ten (10) minutes
to allow the Halon 1301 vapor to extinguish
the fi re.
• Remove your portable fi re extinguisher
from its mounting bracket and prepare it for
use, if necessary.
• Instruct all passengers to put on their Per-
sonal Flotation Devices (PFD’s) and move
away from the source of the fi re.
• Contact the United States Coast Guard
on your VHF radio and advise of your situ-
ation and location. Maintain radio contact
until the crisis has ended and assistance
has arrived.
• If the fi re is successfully extinguished, ex-
amine the engine compartment components
for damage. DO NOT restart your engines
if any damage is noted. Request towing as-
sistance to a safe harbor and contact your
Silverton dealer for a thorough inspection
and repairs.
• When replacing parts of the fi re fi ghting
instillation only matching components shall
be used, bearing the same designation or
being equivalent in their technical and fi re
resistant capabilities.
