BILGE PUMP
The automatic electric bilge pump(s) removes water from the bilge area.
If the pump motor runs but does not remove any water, the pump may be
clogged. If there is no visible debris clogging the pump and water is still
not being removed, check the discharge hose for kinks or obstruction.
The bilge pump can also be operated in a manual mode by the switches
on the main electrical panel.
Note: The Federal Water Pollution Act prohibits the discharge of
oil or oily waste into or upon the navigable waters and contigu-
ous zones of the United States if such discharge causes a fi lm or
sheen upon, or discoloration of, the surface of the water, or causes
a sludge or emulsion beneath the surface of the water. Violators are
subject to a penalty.
RUNNING AND NAVIGATIONAL LIGHTS
If you operate your boat at night, the law requires you to turn your boat’s
running lights ON. Your Robalo boat has one white, one red (port), and
one green (starboard) light. Check running lights periodically for proper
operation. Check them before heading out after dusk.
There are various running light combinations for the types of vessels you
may encounter while boating. You should learn to identify what these
combinations are and the type of vessel they are associated with. Robalo
recommends participation in a “safe boating” course to learn more about
the various light combinations.
The running/navigation lights are controlled at the helm station by a three
position rocker switch. This allows for selection of the mast (white) light
ON when anchored or moored, or to have the mast (white), port (red) and
starboard (green) lights all ON while underway.
It is the boat owner’s responsibility to manage battery voltage while using
this feature, to ensure battery(s) are not drained to a point where engine
will not start.
Refer to owner ’s manual packet for instructions and warranty informa-
tion.
STEREO SOUND SYSTEM
The stereo in your boat is equipped with an AM/FM radio, MP3 Jack, and
premium water resistant speakers. The stereo also has an antenna lead.
The stereo will turn off when motor is cranked. This is normal operation.
The stereo memory has power at all times.
Note: It is the boat owner’s responsibility to manage battery voltage
while using this feature to ensure battery/batteries are not drained
to a point where engine will not start.
Refer to owner’s manual packet for instructions and warranty informa-
tion.
FIRE EXTINGUISHERS
As the boat owner, you are responsible for making sure you have the re-
quired number of fi re extinguishers. Fire extinguishers must be approved
by the U.S. Coast Guard.
Boats longer than 26 feet and shorter than 40 feet: Two Type B-1 or at
least one Type B-2 portable hand extinguishers. If your boat has a fi xed
fi re extinguishing system approved by the U.S. Coast Guard, one Type
B-1 extinguisher is required.
Boats longer than 16 feet and shorter than 26 feet: At least one portable
hand Type B-1 fi re extinguisher.
All fi re extinguishers should be mounted in a readily accessible location
away from the engine compartment. Everyone on board should know
where the fi re extinguishers are and how to operate them.
If your fi re extinguisher has a charge indicator gauge, cold or hot weather
may affect the gauge reading. Consult the instruction manual supplied
with the fi re extinguisher to determine the accuracy of the gauge.
