WELCOME

Dear New Cobalt Owner,

From all of us at the factory and from your authorized Cobalt dealer, thank you for

purchasing a Cobalt boat. We greatly appreciate your business and look forward

to a long and enjoyable relationship with you as part of the Cobalt family.

This manual is designed to help you maximize the enjoyment of your Cobalt

boat, and to acquaint you with proper operation, care, storage and maintenance

of your investment.

Even if you’re a seasoned boater and have previously owned a Cobalt boat, I

recommend you take time to read through this Owner’s manual. As you read this

manual, please remember that “common sense” and “courtesy” are the most

valuable traits you can have to fully enjoy safe boating. It is also to your personal

advantage to become well acquainted with the rules and general “know how” of

boating.

For service and for assistance, contact your authorized Cobalt dealer. The

dealership staff will be happy to answer questions concerning maintenance,

warranty or any other operational questions you may have about your Cobalt

boat.

All the best in boating,

Pack St. Clair, Chairman and C.E.O.

do not apply to: (1) engines, outdrives, propellers, controls, batteries, or other equipment or accessories

INTRODUCTION

This manual was created following International

Organization for Standards (ISO) 10240:2004 as a

guideline. Not all information to conform to the

standards set forth by ISO can be included in this

manual without certain manufacturer’s consent of

the equipment included on your boat.

This owner’s manual contains information that is

necessary to run the boat properly, safety topics,

and operation and maintenance hints.

Even if everything has been planned and designed

for the safety of the boat and its users, boating is

highly dependent on the weather conditions, the

sea state, the experience and physical shape of the

crew, and one can never ensure full safety. It is your

responsibility as the owner or user to know the

boat’s equipment, its capabilities and the boat’s

intended use.

The specific information on the operation of the

equipment and systems your boat is supplied with

or fitted with should be supplied by that

manufacturer. Read, understand and keep all the

information supplied, and familiarize yourself and

all users with the boat before you put it into use.

All persons should wear a suitable life

preserver/personal flotation device when on deck.

In some countries it is a legal requirement to wear a

suitable life preserver/personal flotation device that

complies with those countries’ regulations at all

times.

Intended Use

Your Cobalt boat is intended for use as a pleasure

and sport craft.

Craft Design Category

Significant Wave Height – is the mean height of the

highest one-third of the waves, which

approximately corresponds to the wave height

estimated by an experienced observer. Some

waves will be double this height.

OCEAN – Category A

Craft designed to operate in winds that may exceed

wind Beaufort force 8 and in significant wave

heights of 13' 1.44" (4 m) and above, and is largely

self-sufficient. Abnormal conditions such as

hurricanes are excluded. Such conditions may be

encountered on extended voyages, for example

across oceans, or inshore when unsheltered from

the wind and waves for several hundred nautical

miles.

AWARNING

Avoid serious injury or death.

• Children, disabled people and

non-swimmers should wear a personal

flotation device at all times. Children

and non-swimmers need special

instruction in the use of life

preservers. Inform all passengers on

the proper use of personal flotation

devices and of the location of safety

equipment, man overboard recovery

equipment and the location and

deployment of the ladder.

• Avoid contact with any running

machinery moving parts, such as an

engine, generator or propeller. Contact

can result in loss of body parts,

strangulation, burns, and/or severe

loss of blood. Keep all machinery

guards in place when machinery is

operating.
