THANK YOU FROM THE PRESIDENT
________________
Dear Silverton Owner,
Congratulations and welcome to the Silverton Family! As a Silverton owner, you will
enjoy the quality and the attention to detail for which our Silverton yachts are renowned.
Silverton and your dealer are committed to your service and total satisfaction.
This Owner’s Manual will acquaint you with the proper operation and maintenance
of your new Silverton yacht, as well as boating safety, which is our primary concern,
whether docked or at sea.
Please mail in all manufacturers’ registration and warranty cards to ensure that your
Silverton and Original Equipment Manufacturer (O.E.M.) warranties are valid. The indi-
vidual warranty cards are contained in the Owner’s Packet along with all of the O.E.M.
manuals. Please remember that all information contained in the O.E.M. manuals super-
sedes the information contained in this Owner’s Manual.
Finally, if you are new to boating, be certain to learn the proper rules of seamanship
to ensure your safety and the safety of your passengers. Refer to Chapman’s Piloting,
Seamanship and Small Boat Handling Manual for important and useful information
concerning this aspect of boating. Attend a safe boating course offered by the United
States Coast Guard Auxiliary, United States Power Squadron or any enterprise expe-
rienced in conducting safe boating courses.
Thank you for choosing a Silverton. I am confident your new yacht will provide you and
your family with years of enjoyable cruising.
Richard Cerami

THE SILVERTON STORY
SILVERTON YACHT OWNERS
AND FOUNDERS
WARREN LUHRS
JOHN LUHRS
________________
Hailing from East Orange, New Jersey, John
and Warren Luhrs’ ancestry goes back to
their great-grandfather, Henry, who helped
pioneer the development of railroading and
clipper ships in America, and to their great-
uncle, John, who helped build the famous
St. Petersburg-to-Moscow railroad for Rus-
sian Czar Alexander II.
Henry Luhrs owned shares in twenty-two
different ocean-going vessels - barques,
brigs and schooners - and was the princi-
pal owner of the barque, Sophia R. Luhrs,
named after his wife. He was also a partner
with Albert Sprout, who managed a shipyard
in Melbridge, Maine, where the Sophia R.
Luhrs was built.
The Luhrs’ family sea tradition was carried
on during the great Depression by John and
Warren Luhrs’ father, Henry, who worked at
a small boat manufacturer in Morgan, New
Jersey and later started his own company.
When war broke out in Europe, the United
States Coast Guard asked Henry Luhrs to
repair their boats and install ice sheathing
on their bows.
After World War II, Henry built 27-foot fish-
ing boats and in 1948, he began to construct
custom-built pleasure craft. He then turned
to skiffs and in 1952, incorporated as “Henry
Luhrs Sea Skiffs”. He constructed lap strake
sea skiffs using assembly-line techniques.
Henry personally “shook down” his proto-
types with family trips up the Hudson River
to Lake Champlain.
Henry Luhrs’ basic philosophy was to
emulate the late Henry Ford in building an
inexpensive boat for the average man, thus
enabling him to enjoy the luxury of boating.
He was both designer and engineer, creat-
ing innovative and progressive new models.
He designed the change in the line of the
bow from straight to curved at a time when
all boats were being built with the straight,
square effect. It is believed he was also the
first designer-builder to popularize a small
boat with a flybridge.
In 1960, Henry Luhrs acquired the Ulrich-
sen Boat Company, located in Marlboro,
New Jersey. It was here, too, that the Luhrs
Alura Fiberglass Division was located. In
1965, Henry sold his company to Bangor
Arrostook Railroad, which was to become
the recreational conglomerate, Bangor-
Punta. It was also during this period that
the Silverton Company, Toms River, New
Jersey was purchased by his sons, John
and Warren Luhrs.
Today John and Warren, own Silverton
Marine Corporation, Hunter Marine Cor-
poration, Mainship Motor Yachts Corpora-
tion and Luhrs Fishing Boats Corporation,
known as the “Luhrs Marine Group.”
In January, 1996, John and Warren trans-
ferred a portion of the Luhrs Marine Group to
its employees through an Employee Stock
Ownership Program, ensuring a personal
interest in the construction of your Silverton
yacht.

WARRANTY INFORMATION
________________
Silverton Yacht Dealers
Your Silverton yacht dealer is a trained
professional with facilities and resources
available to serve you to your complete
satisfaction. Your dealer can assist you in
all phases of yacht service and you should
bring to his attention any problems you may
not be able to correct. All warranty claims
and subsequent service must be approved
through your Silverton dealer. The Silverton
warranty is reproduced in its entirety at the
end of this section.
Pre-Delivery Service Record
Your Silverton yacht was thoroughly in-
spected before it was shipped from the
factory. Your dealer also inspected it during
the pre-delivery service inspection. Please
take time to discuss these inspections, the
Silverton warranty, component warran-
ties and operation of your yacht with your
dealer.
Your Silverton dealer completes a Pre-
Delivery Service Record before you take
delivery of your yacht. It is the dealer’s
responsibility to both you and to Silverton
to give your yacht a final inspection. The
purpose of this inspection is to assure the
proper adjustment and operation of all com-
ponents installed on your yacht. Your dealer
should provide you with the Pre-Delivery
Service Record at the time of delivery. After
you and your dealer have signed the form,
the original copy, along with your warranty
card, is forwarded to Silverton.
Silverton will not pay warranty costs for
items that should have been corrected
during the pre-delivery service inspection
and recorded on the Pre-Delivery Service
Record.
Warranty Registration
All Silverton yachts are shipped to the dealer
with a warranty registration form for the
yacht. The warranty card should be com-
pleted and returned to Silverton, together
with signed copies of the Pre-Delivery Ser-
vice Record, within ten (10) days of delivery.
Failure to do so may void the warranty.
Warranty Conditions
To avoid any misunderstanding of Silver-
ton’s warranty policy, we suggest that you
discuss the following with your Silverton
yacht dealer:
 All customer warranty claims and
sub-sequent repairs must be approved
through your Silverton dealer.
 Your yacht must be returned to your
selling dealer for warranty repairs unless
other arrangements between the dealer
and the customer have been made before
delivery. Silverton will not pay travel time or
mileage for warranty claims.
 Silverton allows a set hourly rate for
labor. If you use any service facility other
than a Silverton dealer for warranty repairs,
either the owner or the dealer must absorb
any difference between what Silverton al-
lows and what the “service contractor” may
charge.
 Silverton will not assume any re-
sponsibility or liability for parts replaced or
labor completed by anyone other than an

14
authorized Silverton dealer without prior
authorization from Silverton.
 Silverton will not warrant items that
should have been covered during the pre-
delivery service inspection.
 Silverton will not be responsible for
any problems or inconveniences that may
be caused as a result of a defect.
 Silverton will not be responsible for
any losses caused as a result of a defect
for any reason.
Second Owner’s Warranty
Some Silverton yacht owners trade up to a
newer or larger yacht before the warranty
on their current yacht has expired. Silverton
will transfer the remaining warranty on your
new yacht to its new owner. Conditions of
the warranty transfer are stated in their en-
tirety at the end of this section.
Owner’s Responsibilities
Silverton service and support does not end
after you purchase your yacht. Our dealers
are committed to your total satisfaction with
your yacht. They cannot accomplish this
objective without your assistance. You are
responsible for:
 Obtaining state registration or federal
documentation.
 Providing and maintaining all safety
equipment required by the United States
Coast Guard.
 Completing and forwarding all Origi-
nal Equipment Manufacturer’s warranty
registrations.
 Performing and completing Required
OEM maintenance.

LIMITED WARRANTY
According to the U.S. Public Law No. 93-637, effective July 4, 1975, the following limited
warranties apply to all 1999 Model Year boats produced by SILVERTON MARINE CORPO-
RATION.
LIMITED ONE YEAR WARRANTY
SILVERTON MARINE CORPORATION warrants to the first-use purchaser and any subse-
quent owner during the warranty period that any part manufactured by SILVERTON will be
free of defects caused by faulty workmanship or materials for a period of twelve (12) months
from the date of delivery to the first-use purchaser under normal use and service. During this
period, SILVERTON will repair or replace any part judged to be defective by SILVERTON.
LIMITED FIVE YEAR WARRANTY ON HULL STRUCTURE
SILVERTON warrants to the first-use purchaser and any subsequent owner during the war-
ranty period that the hull of each boat will be free from structural defects in materials and
workmanship for a period of five (5) years from the date of delivery to the first-use purchaser
under normal use and service. This limited warranty applies only to the structural integrity of
the hull and the supporting pan/grid or stringer system. Hulls, pan/grids or stringers modified
in any way or powered with engines other than the type and size installed or specified by
SILVERTON are not covered by this limited warranty. The obligation of SILVERTON under
this limited warranty is limited to the repair or replacement of hulls that it determines to be
structurally defective. This is your sole and exclusive remedy.
RESTRICTIONS APPLICABLE TO WARRANTIES
These limited warranties do not cover:
1. Bottom paint, paint, window glass, gelcoat, upholstery damage, plastic finishes, engines,
engine parts, bilge pumps, stoves, blowers, pressure water pumps, propellers, shafts, rudders,
controls, instruments and equipment not manufactured by SILVERTON. Any warranty made
by the manufacturer of such items will be, if possible, given to the first-use purchaser.
2. Fiberglass blistering attributable, in the opinion of SILVERTON, to water penetration
of the fiberglass (osmosis).
3. Problems caused by improper maintenance, storage, cradling or blocking, normal wear
and tear, misuse, neglect, accident, corrosion, electrolysis or improper operation.
4. Speeds, fuel consumption and other performance characteristics because they are
estimated and not guaranteed.
5. Boats used for commercial activities, including charter.

16
THESE LIMITED WARRANTIES ARE YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES AND
ARE EXPRESSLY IN LIEU OF ANY AND ALL OTHER REMEDIES AND WARRANTIES
EXPRESSED AND IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY
AND FITNESS. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IM-
PLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. THE
PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT NO OTHER REPRESENTATIONS WERE MADE
TO HIM OR HER WITH RESPECT TO THE QUALITY AND FUNCTIONS OF THE BOAT.
ANY CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHICH MAY BE INCURRED ARE EXCLUDED AND
PURCHASER’S REMEDY IS LIMITED TO REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF ANY PART(S)
JUDGED DEFECTIVE BY SILVERTON. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION
OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION
MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. THIS WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND
YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS WHICH VARY FROM STATE TO STATE.
WARRANTY REGISTRATION
These limited warranties shall not be effective unless the SILVERTON Warranty Registration
Form and Pre-Delivery Service Record, which are furnished with each new boat, are filled out
completely and returned to SILVERTON within ten (10) days of delivery.
The return to SILVERTON of the fully signed Warranty Registration Form is critical. Warranty
coverage cannot be initiated until the completed form is received at SILVERTON.
All repairs and/or replacements will be made by an authorized SILVERTON dealer, or at the
option of SILVERTON, at the SILVERTON plant. If the repairs are of such a nature that the
warranty work must be performed at the SILVERTON plant, transportation costs to and from
the SILVERTON plant shall be paid by the owner. The labor cost reimbursement will be based
on the Labor Allowance Schedule established by SILVERTON and where not applicable, on
a reasonable number of hours as determined by SILVERTON. Any repairs and replacements
must be approved in advance by an authorized SILVERTON Service Representative.
TRANSFER OF LIMITED WARRANTIES
Effective with 1993 model year boats, these limited warranties will be transferred to a subse-
quent purchaser of the boat if:
1. A notice of the transfer of ownership of the boat is given by the subsequent purchaser
in writing to SILVERTON within thirty (30) days of the transfer.
2. The notice shall include the name, address and telephone number of the subsequent
purchaser, the date of purchase, the hull number and the name of the seller of the boat.
SILVERTON will mail to the subsequent purchaser notice of the expiration dates of the limited
warranties. The transfer of the ownership of the boat will not extend the expiration dates of
the limited warranties.

RECORD KEEPING
________________
Boat Record
Use the Boat Record (included at he end
of this manual) to record all important in-
formation concerning your yacht and its
equipment. After your dealer has recorded
all the information, remove the record from
your Owner’s Manual and store in a safe,
convenient location. Do not keep this form
aboard your yacht.

The Float Plan (included at the end of this
manual) provides a record of your desti-
nation, departure and return times, yacht
description, passenger list and other infor-
mation about the trip you have planned. At
the bottom of the form is a space for listing
emergency telephone numbers in case your
return is delayed past the expected time. It
also has space for indicating information
about the person filing this report. Leave a
copy of the completed form ashore with a
responsible person. Carry the original form
with you on your cruise and if you deviate
from your original plan, be certain to notify
the person with whom you left the copy
of your change in plans. Silverton recom-
mends you make several copies of this form
each yachting season to ensure you have
an adequate supply.
Maintenance Log
The Maintenance Log (included at the end
of this manual) provides the means to keep
maintenance records in one location. Using
this log will allow you to track maintenance
work completed and to determine when spe-
cific maintenance is required. Your Silverton
dealer will also find this information helpful
if you decide to sell or trade your yacht.

ACCIDENT REPORTING
________________
No one likes to think about having a boating
accident, but unfortunately, they do occur.
You must file an accident report after a
boating accident just as you would after an
automobile accident. A copy of the United
States Coast Guard Accident Report is in-
cluded with this Owner’s Manual. You can
obtain more copies of the report by calling
the United States Coast Guard Boating
Safety Hotline at 1-800-368-5647.
You are required to file an accident report
with the United States Coast Guard within
forty-eight (48) hours after the occurrence
of an accident resulting in any one of the
following:
• Loss of life.
• A person disappears from a vessel
under circumstances that indicate the pos-
sibility of death or injury.
• Personal injury requiring medical
treat-ment beyond first aid.
• Damage to the vessel or damage to
prop-erty.*
• Complete loss of the vessel.
* State statutes determine whether you must
file an accident report in this case. An ac-
cident report must be filed if the damage ex-
ceeds a threshold dollar value as established
by the state in which the accident occurred.
In most states, the threshold is $100.00 to
$200.00. Contact the United States Coast
Guard Boating Safety Hotline to verify the
threshold for a particular state.
Note: State and local agencies may also
have accident reporting requirements.
Check with local enforcement agencies or
with your local Silverton dealer regarding
local requirements.
yacht a more desirable purchase because
it tells prospective buyers that you have
maintained the proper care of the vessel on
a regular basis.

GETTING FAMILIAR WITH
YOUR 352 MOTOR YACHT
________________
This section of your Owner’s Manual will
give you a virtual tour of your new 352 MY.
The following areas will be described: Hull,
Deck, Interior and Engine Compartment.
HULL AND TRANSOM
The photograph below displays the transom
area of the 352 MY . This is a typical layout
displaying the drive mechanism. The pho-
tograph contains the following components
as viewed from the Port side:
• Shaft
• Strut
• Propeller
• Rudders
Note: On diesel powered yachts, there is an
additional strut forward of the one displayed
below. The purpose of this extra strut is to
provide additional support to the shaft.
The Shaft is connected to the engine trans-
mission with a coupling and extends through
the bottom of the hull, where it is connected
to the propeller.
The shaft is supported forward of the pro-
peller by one or two Struts, depending on
engine model. The struts support and sta-
bilize the shafts.
The rotation of the Propellers propels the
yacht in the selected direction, controlled
from the helm station.
The Rudders provide steering for the yacht
to Port or Starboard, depending on the di-
rection they are turned by the operator from
the helm station steering wheel.
The Zinc Anodes are dealer installed on
the shafts, rudders and transom for the
purpose of preventing electrolysis and gal-
vanic corrosion, which is discussed in the
Winterization and Storage Section of this
Owner’s Manual.

2
Engine Seawater Pickup
The photograph below displays the Engine
Seawater Pickup as shown on the Star-
board side. The Engine Seawater Pickups
are located on the bottom exterior of the
hull forward of the engines and are used
for “scooping” water for the engine cooling
system.
Transom Anode Plate
The photograph below displays the Tran-
som Anode Plate, which is a sacrificial
zinc anode that is bolted to the transom and
connected to the electrical bonding system.
Its purpose is to prevent electrolysis and
galvanic corrosion of the underwater com-
ponents in your yacht, which is discussed
in the Bonding System Section of this
Owner’s Manual.
Trim Tabs
The photographs below display the Port
and Starboard Trim Tabs, which are factory
installed on the lower edge of the transom.
The purpose of the Trim Tabs is to assist
you in controlling the angle, both longitudi-
nally and athwartships, that your yacht rides
in the water during forward movement. The
control panel for the Trim Tabs is located at
the helm station.
