Position of the outboard engine:
The outboard motor must be so installed that in the normal running position, it
stands vertically in the water.
This means that the "cavitation plate" on the low side or the outboard engine is
horizontal in the water if the boat is lying in its normal position. All Quicksilver
boats are designed for using a short shaft motor The motor position is essential
for the right sailing features. Make sure the motor is trimmed properly,
eventually use the spacers (not delivered with all models) to determine the right
height of the motor.
A motor installed improperly, may cause spray water or cavitation (racing of the
motor).
Starting the engine:
Pull the boat into the water.
Secure the motor in the downward position
Stand securely and start the engine.
Avoid high speeds when running the boat backwards, water can come in
the boat over the transom.
Console Installation (Alu‑RIB Models)
We recommend to always use the expertise of a Quicksilver dealer for
installation of a console.
Place the console on the desired spot in the boat on the anti‑skid foam.
Mark the areas where the holes should be drilled through the aluminum
bottom.
Use grease while drilling the hole (it is possible to drill through the
anti‑skid foam).
Use aluminum flatserts to create a screw‑thread into the aluminum
bottom.
Use sealant to avoid corrosion of the drilled holes.
Install the console by bolting the console onto the flatserts.
Deflation
General information:
NOTE: Boat should be clean and dry before rolling up for storage. Remove any
sand and debris that may cling to the fabric.
When deflating the boat, do not deflate one chamber at once.
Deflate all chambers evenly; this prevents damage to the bulkheads in the
boat.
Deflating the boat:
Lay the boat down on the floor.
Push the valve once to open it.
Release some air from all chambers.
