The placard must also contain the warning that a person violating these 
requirements is liable for civil and criminal penalties. The placard must 
also  state  that  local  regulations  may  further  restrict  the  discharge  of 
garbage.  You  may  purchase  these  placards  from  local  marinas,  boat 
dealers, or marine equipment suppliers. 

The U.S. Coast Guard has also issued regulations requiring boats to have 
sanitation system on board to control pollution. Wastes are to be stored 
in a holding tank or other device, such as Porta‐Potti, until the device can 
be pumped out or otherwise disposed of at a shore facility. Discharging 
this waste overboard is in most cases prohibited. Check with the Coast 
Guard regarding regulations in your area.

as soon as possible to determine whether correcting the problem may be

and  necessary  model  numbers  on  hand  for  the  items  that  may  need 
service or repair. Your hull identification number is below the rub rail on 
the starboard aft corner of your boat.

$100.00  deductible  per  occurrence  for  claims  filed  in  accordance  with 
the Robalo Limited Warranty Policy. The Ownership Transfer fee varies

Transfer Record for details and associated fees. YOU are responsible for 
your safety and your boat, as well as the safety of passengers and other
