The American Boat and Yacht Council, Inc. is an independent organization
dedicated to developing and maintaining the highest level of marine equipment
safety standards for U.S. boat manufacturers. Working closely with the U.S. Coast
Guard and other authorities, the A.B.Y.C. reviews marine equipment and systems,
including electrical systems, ventilation, steering, flotation, load capacity, fuel
systems, and others that may have impact on your safety.
The National Marine Manufacturers Association is an independent organization
involved in a wide range of activities aimed toward the promotion and improvement
of all aspects of boating. Members include manufacturers of boats, engines, and
marine equipment of all types.
One division of the N.M.M.A. provides an inspection and certification program to
members. Inspections are performed to the rigid and detailed standards of the
A.B.Y.C. and certification requires compliance with all applicable standards and
recommendations.
Every Cobalt is built to meet or exceed all applicable standards of these
organizations at the time of manufacture. Each model is inspected and certified
prior to introduction, and periodic inspections of the entire model line are conducted
in-plant to insure continued compliance.
We wish you safe and happy boating!
