Question Am I missing something?

I was looking through my owners manual this morning. I have a 2005 150CC with a 50hp Yamaha 2 stroke. The owners manual shows a diagram of this boat, and under the port rear seat is something called the VRO tank. What is it, and where is it exactly, and what does VRO stand for?

Secondly, I also have the 2005 Triumph sales brochure. In the list of standard equipment is says I am supposed to have Horizontal Rod Storage (6), Vertical rod storage (4) and 2 cup holders. I see nothing where I can store 6 rods, except for laying them down on the floor, the vertical rod storage I am assuming is the rod holders on the sides of the center console, and I only see one cup holder on the starboard side of the console dashboard.

Am I missing something here, or am I plain dumb??

Again, as always, thanks for your help.

I finally got a response from Triumph's customer service rep regarding this post. I'll quote it below:

"Ok the manual that you have will be for all models even some of the old
ones so the vro tank isn't going to be in your boat sorry. Now the rod
holders for the 2005 year was offered on some of the boats but not all
the dealers were responsible for talk to the customer before purchase
about and the cup holders to. The reason why is because we change the
console and other things to price the boat in a cheaper market."


Apparently the owner's manuals have not been changed in quite a while, so....the VRO tank is no longer used, it was used only on older models.

The horizontal rod holders were standard equipment from Triumph, but it was up to the original dealer to ask the original purchaser if they wanted them, and if so, install them for the customer. And it sounded like the same was true for the cup holder....it was a call by the original dealer to install 2 or 1 or none, I guess.

Oh well, Live and Learn!
