If the battery is deeply discharged, the charger will deliver full output.
Output automatically decreases as the battery is charged. If the battery is
fully charged, the charger provides a trickle charge as needed.
Before you connect an extension cord to the battery charger 120 volt
power supply, secure the extension cord to the boat. Connecting the cord
to the boat fi rst will prevent dropping a “hot” cord into the water. When
you leave the dock remove the cord from the dockside power source fi rst.
If you have any questions, contact your Robalo dealer.
120 or 220 Volt AC Power
The alternating current (AC) electrical system operates off a standard 30
amp 120 or 220 volt, 60 or 50 cycle shore power system. The main distri-
bution panel is in the cabin area.
Lighting
Lighting operates off the 12 volt DC system. Turn lights on or off at the
main electrical panel in the cabin or at the light fi xture. See your Robalo
dealer for information regarding bulb replacement.
Electrolysis and Zinc Anodes
Many boaters are unaware of the problems associated with electrolysis
and how to properly address corrosion issues. Electrolysis is a reaction
between metal and electrical energy. Electrolysis occurs when electrical
current is “leaking” into the water, and can come from a variety of things
such as ship to shore power, sharing electrical wires, old electrical de-
vices in contact with the water, batteries in boats, etc.
Electrolysis can also be caused by “stray currents” due to a fault in an
electrical item, even though correctly grounded. Robalo boats that have
shore power are equipped with a galvanic isolator which isolates the boat
from the dockside electrical system.
Electrolysis/corrosion is a very real issue and expense for any boater,
and boat owners must be aware of the proper protection and mainte-
nance. Corrosion will directly affect the performance of your boat within a
very short period of time.
It is the boat owner’s responsibility to check for and replace damaged
parts due to galvanic deterioration. Refer to your Robalo dealer to inves-
tigate the source of stray corrosive currents.
Sacrifi cial anodes are installed on the outdrive and trim tabs to protect
underwater hardware on your boat. Metals used in sacrifi cial anodes are
less noble than the copper-based alloys and aluminum used in under-
water fi ttings; therefore, the anodes will deteriorate fi rst and protect the
more noble parts. Metals commonly used in sacrifi cial anodes include
aluminum, magnesium and zinc.
The type of metal needed for your boat’s sacrifi cial anodes will depend on
your use of the boat. For instance, the type of water where you commonly
CAUTION: Replace sacrifi cial anodes if they are corroded 50%
or more.
go boating is a major factor in determining your need. Robalo recom-
mends you consult your dealer and you engine manufacturer’s owner’s
manual to determine the proper metal needed in your sacrifi cial anodes.
Zinc anodes generally require replacement about once a year, but may
need to be replaced every six months in salt water areas. The need to
replace anodes more frequently may indicate a stray current problem
within the boat or at the slip or mooring. If zinc anodes are not replaced
annually, they may not be providing the necessary protection.
Note: Do not paint between the zinc and any metal it touches. Do
not paint over the zinc.
When an AC shore power system is connected to the boat, the underwa-
ter metal fi ttings will be connected through the water to grounded metals
ashore. The zincs will be consumed as a faster rate unless the marina
maintains a protective system to prevent this.
