Additional Underway Information

• Always be aware of local laws on noise limits. Noise means engine

noise, radio noise or even yelling by people on your boat. Good sea-

manship demands that you operate your boat quietly so as not to in-

fringe on the rights of others.

• You are responsible for any damage or injury caused by your boat’s

wake. Observe no wake speed zone warnings. Operate your boat with

regard for the safety of other boats and people in your boating area.

• Keep your engine well tuned to decrease exhaust hydrocarbon emis-

sions that pollute the air and water.

ANCHORING YOUR BOAT

Anchoring is necessary if you stop for recreation or an emergency. Prac-

tice anchoring techniques to make sure you know what to do when an

emergency occurs. The size and weight of your boat govern the weight of

the anchor and the diameter of the anchor line. Your Robalo dealer can

help you select the proper anchoring equipment for your boat.

Use a burying anchor, such as a Danforth or plow anchor, which grips into

the bottom and holds your boat secure. Holding power should be more

important than weight. For anchoring in relatively quiet waters, you can

use a mushroom anchor as an alternative.

WARNING: Check behind you before coming OFF plane. Many

accidents occur each year as a result of a driver coming off plane

while being followed by a boat that is unable to slow down in time

to avoid a collision.

The length of the anchor line should be six to eight times the depth of the

water to ensure that the anchor bites into the bottom. The bottom end of

the anchor line should be galvanized chain which holds up well as the

line moves back and forth on the bottom. The rest of the line should be

nylon anchor line which stretches to soften the impact of wind and waves

on your boat.

Following are general guidelines for anchoring your boat:

• Secure the anchor line to the bow eye or deck cleat. Do not tie line to

hardware not designed to support this stress.

• Use two or more anchors if anchoring overnight or extended periods of

time. Otherwise, make sure your boat has enough space to swing full

circle in case of shifting winds.

• Keep the anchor and line in an area where it will be readily available in

an emergency.

WARNING: Keep anchor secure while underway to prevent dam-

age or injuyr if boat’s attitude changes suddenly. If your boat has

a power winch, do not use it as the primary source for securing

anchor or anchor line. See the power winch instruction manual for

details about operation and maintenance.

Dropping Anchor

1. Have a crew member carefully lower anchor, keeping a slight tension

on the line as the anchor drops. Maintain tension after the anchor

reaches the bottom. Simply throwing the anchor overboard usually

fouls the line and requires starting over.
