TORAGE
Store your Cobalt with the bow slightly elevated; i.e., the same attitude as if the boat
were floating at rest. Remove the transom drain plug. If the boat is stored with the
bow down, moisture will not be able to move to the engine bilge area and out of the
boat. Mold and mildew may form as a result of the inability of moisture to escape.
Store all bow cushions in the open position and open all storage areas.
The 202CS and203CS ski boats have an additional hull drain below the engine which
should be removed for storage. It has a large “T” handle on it for easy operation.
Preparing for winter lay up is important. In frigid zones, be particularly attentive to
items that can be damaged by freezing. Freeze damage is not covered by warranty.
Engine
Step by step instructions for engine winter storage are outlined in your engine
manual(s). Follow these essential instructions carefully. This manual also details
procedures for returning your engine(s) to service for in-season usage.
