HYDRAULIC STEERING SYSTEM
Your boat has a hydraulic steering system. This system has two basic
elements: helm pump and cylinder. The steering wheel is mounted to the
shaft of the helm pump. Turning the steering wheel pumps hydraulic
fl
uid
to the steering cylinder. Extra hydraulic
fl
uid prevents air from entering
the system. A relief valve protects both the mechanical portion of the rud-
der (in case the rudder strikes a hard object) and the hydraulic system.
This is a manual system, not a power steering system. The effort required
to turn the wheel will increase as the system is called on to exert more
force on the engines. At no time, should anyone expect this system to
turn as easily as a car’s power steering.
Check the level of hydraulic
fl
uid in the helm regularly and replenish if
necessary. All other maintenance should be performed by your dealer.
Power Steering Unit
Your boat may have an optional or standard power steering unit for the
hydraulic steering system. This unit is powered off of one engine only. If
you lose power to the power steering system due to an engine or electri-
cal 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 multi-function navi-
gational displaysystems, packed with power and performance features.
Boat owners will have access to 3D chart-plotting, HD Digital technology,
Sirius Satellite Weather and more.
CAUTION: Acceleration at full throttle is not recommended for
certain periods of the engine “break-in period.” Refer to the en-
gine owners manual for details.
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 forward from center
moves the boat forward. Moving the throttle aft moves the boat back-
ward. 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 specifi c 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. Fac-
tors 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 shal-
low water. Control your trim setting with the trim switch on the control
handle. Section 5 discusses the importance of proper trim while operat-
ing your boat.
Note: Refer to your engine manufacturer’s owner’s manual for in-
formation concerning maintenance and operation.
