The following are general instructions:
Side mount control
The engine will start only in neutral. To move handle from neutral position squeeze
the button on the handle. Moving handle forward engages forward gear initially.
Continuing forward movement will advance throttle. Moving handle aft engages
reverse gear initially. Continued aft movement will advance throttle.
Cold Starting - While handle is in the neutral position, depress button in the center
of the bottom of the handle and move forward. Please consult the engine owner’s
manual.
Binnacle Mount Control
The operation of this control is the same as the side mount control except there is no
button on the handle to release the control from neutral. All other throttle shift
functions remain the same.
JAMMING THE THROTTLE INTO THE FORWARD OR REVERSE
POSITION CAN CAUSE AN ABRUPT MOVEMENT OF THE BOAT. DO NOT
JAM THE THROTTLE LEVER FORWARD OR BACKWARD.

General
The power trim changes the drive unit angle in reference to the transom of the boat.
Regardless of engine type, a few basic operating techniques should be applied.
1. The drive unit should be lowered fully prior to initial acceleration.
2. After the boat has attained planing speed, the trim should be raised for maximum
speed and handling characteristics.
3. If the trim is raised too high, porpoising (bouncing) and cavitation (propeller
slippage) can occur.
4. It will be necessary to readjust the trim angle as boat speed changes and the
attitude of the boat changes. Also, load changes in the boat can require
readjustment of the trim angle.

Your Cobalt is equipped with an ignition safety switch. It is located on the face of
the side mount control or near the lower edge of the driver’s control panel.
The driver should always attach the lanyard to his or her person. If the driver leaves
the driver’s station, the lanyard will shut off the ignition immediately preventing the
boat from moving under power.
