WELCOME ABOARD
Congratulations!....
on your wise decision to purchase a Robalo boat. We welcome you to the
family of thousands of other Robalo boat owners. Since your boat is a
substantial investment, we are sure you selected your Robalo because of
its value, style, comfort, and performance. This manual contains valuable
information concerning your boat’s operation, maintenance, and care,
plus tips on boating safety and seamanship.
ABOUT THIS MANUAL
More and more people are joining the ranks of boat owners. This manual
is written for the first‐time boat owner or operator. Even if you are an
experienced boater, you will find much valuable information regarding
the safe operation and maintenance of your new Robalo boat. Keep this
manual on your boat for ready reference.
Due to our policy of continuous product improvement, the illustrations
used in this manual may not be identical to the components, controls,
gauges, etc. on your boat, as they are intended to be representative
reference views. Some controls, indicators, or information may be
optional and not included on your boat model.
The precautions in this manual cannot and do not cover every boating
situation. If a specific method or procedure is not covered, you must
make sure that what you do is safe for you and others. Always use
common sense when boating! Remember, too, that ever safe boating
excursion is a happy experience.
This manual is part of your boat’s equipment. Print a copy and keep it on
board the boat at all times. If you transfer ownership of this boat to
someone else, be sure to give this manual to the new owner.
Your owner’s packet contains the manual for the boat selected. Also, in
this packet are instruction manuals from the suppliers of standard and
optional equipment for your boat. Examples of these manuals include
the engine, electrical equipment, pumps, and cabin amenities. The
suppliers of these products maintain their own manufacturer’s warranty
and service facilities. Be sure to fill out each warranty card and mail it to
the manufacturer to validate the warrant. Record all information
regarding these products on the “Boat Date Record.” A copy of this form
is near the end of this chapter under Logs and Records.
Important: keep the complete Boat Data Record in a safe place at
home. Do not keep it aboard the boat.
Read this manual as well as the manuals for the systems and
components on your Robalo boat. They provide the information needed
for safe operation and proper maintenance. The information in the
manuals provided by the manufacturers takes precedence over any
information in this manual if there is a conflict.
