Good storage is very important whether indoors or outdoors. Boat trailers designed for
specific model boats provide excellent support for your Cobalt for long term storage. If
you are storing your Cobalt by some other means; rack, hoists, blocks, etc., consult your
Cobalt Dealer. Your dealer can assist you in making sure your boat has proper support.
It is very important the proper canvas is used as designed. The canvas listed in items 1
and 2 are made of Sunbrella, an acrylic material. Acrylic does not breathe as well as
canvas duck, therefore all moisture cannot escape the boat when covered. The mooring
cover listed in item 3 is made of marine canvas duck.

EQUIREMENTS
The fuel line between the fuel tank and the fuel inlet of the engine is made of a
synthetic, flexible material and although it is the best material available, alcohol can
deteriorate it, especially during periods of storage. For this reason, it is suggested you
have your Cobalt dealer inspect this fuel line at least annually and replace, if necessary.
YOUR FUEL SYSTEM SHOULD BE CHECKED BEFORE EACH OPERATION. AT LEAST
ONCE A YEAR, HAVE YOUR FUEL SYSTEM THOROUGHLY CHECKED BY A CERTIFIED COBALT
SERVICE TECHNICIAN. GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE; EXTREME CAUTION SHOULD BE
USED AT ALL TIMES.
