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 a sanitation system on board to control pollution. Wastes
are to be stored in a holding tank or other device, such as a Porta-
Potti, until the device can be 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.
OWNER’S LOGS AND RECORDS
At the end of this chapter are three forms which you will find very
helpful.
Use the Boat Data Record to record all important information about
your boat and the major components installed. After you have
entered all the data, remove this form from your Owner’s Manual
and store in a safe place. Do not keep this form aboard your boat.
The Travel Plan Log provides a record of your destination, depar-
ture and return times, boat description, passenger list, and other
information about the trip you have planned. At the bottom of the
form is space for listing emergency telephone numbers in case your
return is delayed past the expected time. It also has space for indi-
cating information about the person filing this report. Leave the
completed form ashore with a responsible person. We recommend
you make several copies of this form each boating season to ensure
an ample supply.
The Fuel Usage Chart is a handy way to record information cover-
ing engine hours, fuel consumption, miles traveled, as well as RPM
(revolutions per minute), Average MPH (miles per hour), and GPH
(gallons per hour).
WARRANTY POLICY TRANSFER
Your Robalo boat is backed by a Limited Express Warranty. It is
important that you are aware of its terms. If a problem arises with
your Robalo boat as a result of workmanship or materials, contact
your dealer as soon as possible to determine whether correcting the
problem may be covered by the warranty. Please have your hull
identification number and necessary model numbers on hand for the
items that may need service or repair. Your hull identification num-
ber is below the rub rail on the starboard aft corner of your boat.
The Robalo Limited Warranty Policy may be transferred to subse-
quent owner(s) providing the Ownership Transfer Record (OTR) is
completed and returned to the Robalo Customer Service Office. The
OTR is located at the end of this chapter. Subsequent owner(s) will
receive the balance of warranty available subject to a $100.00
deductible per occurrence for claims filed in accordance with the
Robalo Limited Warranty Policy. The Ownership Transfer fee is
$500.00 for boats with hull lengths less than 24 feet and $1,000 for
boats with hull lengths of 24 feet or more.
