Cobalt mooring covers are made from marine canvas duck, a cotton/polyester
material, the best material for storage of your Cobalt. It has the ability to breathe
properly, a trait other materials, especially synthetics, do not have to the same
degree. Mooring covers are recommended by Cobalt for any storage longer than a
few days. Mooring covers are not recommended for trailering in that they cannot be
tied down tightly enough in trailering conditions to keep them from moving around
slightly on the gelcoated fiberglass surface. This movement can damage the gelcoat
causing a dullness or even scratching.
For storage, we recommend an optional mooring cover made of marine canvas
duck that has the ability to breathe and properly protect the gelcoat finish on the
deck of your Cobalt. Do not use convertible tops, side curtains, aft curtains,
tonneau covers, etc. for long term storage. These tops were not designed for long
term storage. Adequate ventilation is questionable and mold/mildew may form.
For more information on appropriate covering for long term storage, please see
your Cobalt dealer.

OP
The following is the recommended procedure for storage of the top:
a. Disconnect the straps from the side of the boat and allow them to hang free.
b. Disconnect the top snaps from the windshield. (At this point, the two bows should
still be separated.)
c. Grasp the bows and fold them together. (Allow the canvas to gather between the
bows.)
d. Roll the canvas around the bows. (As you roll the canvas, assure its tightness and
pull the side of the canvas to prevent wrinkling.)
