engine or electrical issue, you will still maintain your normal
hydraulic steering system.
MULTIFUNCTION NAVIGATION DISPLAY SYSTEM
An optional high performance multifunction display is available on
select models. Robalo provides one of the most powerful multifunc-
tion navigational display systems, packed with power and
performance features. Boat owners will have access to 3D chart-
plotting, HD Digital technology, Sirius Satellite Weather and more.
THROTTLE
The throttle controls the boat’s speed and the direction the boat
travels. If the throttle is in its center neutral position, the boat will not
move forward or aft with the engine running. Moving the throttle for-
ward from center moves the boat forward. Moving the throttle aft
moves the boat backward. The speed at which the boat moves is
directly related to how far the operator pushes the throttle.
Note: The throttle must be in its center neutral position before
the engine will start. See your engine manufacturer’s owner’s
manual for specific starting instructions.
CONTROLS
Steering
Other than the common sense and good judgment of the operator,
the steering system is the most important safety system on your
boat. Factors requiring operator attention for safe steering include
engine torque, trim tab settings, waves and speed.
POWER TRIM
The power trim system allows the operator to raise and lower the
engine to adjust the drive angle while underway. It also allows the
operator to raise and lower the engine for trailering, beaching, and
operation in shallow water. Control your trim setting with the trim
switch on the control handle. Section 5 discusses the importance of
proper trim while operating your boat.
Note: Refer to your engine manufacturer’s owner’s manual for
information concerning maintenance and operation.
STOVE
Note: Some boats may have an optional or standard electric
or butane stove. Please refer to your stove manual for proper
usage, maintenance and caution statements. The electric stove
operates off the shore power system or onboard generator, and
has a circuit breaker labeled “range” on the main electrical
control panel.
Important: The operator’s manual and safety instructions
explain special safety precautions, maintenance, safety and
proper operating procedures. Robalo Boats cannot overem-
phasize the importance of operating your stove safely.
CAREFULLY READ and understand the instructions before
operating the stove.

CAUTION: Acceleration at full throttle is not recommended for
