Why can't my boat achieve the wide-open throttle r.p.m. spec.?
Several reasons contribute towards a boat loosing r.p.m. 1. The hull bottom and running gear need to be clean and free of growth. Even a small amount of growth on the bottom will cause drag. 2. Control cables over time will stretch not allowing the engine throttle linkage to fully open. 3. Old fuel (more than 60 days) will decrease the engine performance. 4. Added weight (such as a generator or flybridge enclosure) will decrease r.p.m Re-pitching the props will be necessary if added weight is the reason.

What does the 5 year hull warranty cover?
This warranty covers the structural integrity of the hull and hull stringer system. This does not include stress cracks to the deck or stress cracks from improper blocking or bumping bulkheads and pilings.

If I am away from my dealer and need warranty work performed, how can I get the work covered under warranty?
Call your selling Silverton Dealer on all warranty matters. Work can be sub-contracted out, but only by your selling dealer. This would apply to Silverton issues but major components like engines, generator, refrigerator, etc. can be handled by their respective service networks. Again, your Silverton Dealer can assist you with setting up warranty work.
