To activate, turn on the navigation light switch. The anchor light will first rise into
position, then illuminate. When the light switch is turned off, the light will
immediately turn off and, after a 1.5 second computer check, the pole will
automatically retract into it’s below-deck storage position. The top of the lens will
be flush with the top of the deck ring. If the light does not retract automatically, do
not force down, contact your Cobalt dealer.
To operate the S.O.S. distress signal, turn on the anchor light and allow it to fully
extend and illuminate. Wait a minimum of two seconds as the light runs a circuit
check. Anytime thereafter, you may toggle the light switch (rapidly turning the light
off, then immediately back on). The light will start to flash the Morse Code S.O.S.
the light will continue flashing the S.O.S. until it is toggled again. The light will
then light constantly. You may turn the anchor light off in either mode and it will
retract automatically.

A packing seal, located where the propeller shaft passes through the hull bottom,
keeps water from entering the boat. During the first two-three hours of your new
Cobalt’s operating life, the seal should be allowed to drip water inside the hull at a
rate of one drip per second (with the shaft turning). After the break in period,
adjustment of this packing seal may be necessary. Please consult your Cobalt
Dealer for further information. The packing seal must be checked annually.
Always allow the packing seal to drip a slight amount for lubrication purposes.
