tank is difficult to see during a visual
inspection. This type of corrosion typically
won’t reveal itself until a fuel leak actually
occurs. If any one of these conditions are
present, have an authorized Silverton
Service Technician inspect the tank imme-
diately. If a leak is found, immediately turn
off battery switches, disconnect shore
power (instructions in the electrical pages
of this section of the owners manual) and
disable any possible source of ignition.
Notify your Silverton Dealer or Silverton’s
Customer Service Department immedi-
ately.
NEVER operate your boat if a fuel leak
is present!
Fuel Tank Fill and Vent
The fuel tank is filled through the Fuel Fill
Fitting and the cap is marked GAS or
DIESEL, depending on the type of en-
gines that power your 43MY.
Using the wrong type of fuel will result
in severe damage to the engines.
The photo above shows the Port Fuel
Tank Fitting. It is located at the top of the
Access steps going from the swim plat-
form to the aft deck. The Starboard Fuel
Tank Fitting is located in the same posi-
tion, but on the starboard side. The fuel fill
fittings are connected to the fuel tanks
with the fuel hoses.
Each fuel tank has a hull vent fitting.
These fittings are located on the port side
and starboard sides of the hull. The photo
below shows the port side fuel vent.
The starboard side vent is in the same
location on the other side of the hull. The
vent fittings are connected to the fuel
tanks with the fuel vent hoses. These
vents allow air to pass through them when
fueling and when the engines are drawing
fuel from the tanks.
The fuel fill and fuel vent hoses, fittings
and connections should be inspected for
leaks and signs of dry rot or swelling at
least once a year. If any of these condi-
tions are present, have an authorized
Silverton Service Technician inspect the
entire fuel system immediately. If a leak is
found, turn OFF the battery switches,
