Operating Information
25. AIR/WATER TEMPERATURE GAUGE -
Toggle
the lower switch below to go between air and water
temperature readings. The gauge will display AIR
and WATER to indicate which temperature source
is in use.
Remote Control(s)
Your Cobalt boat is equipped with a safety switch
for “start-in neutral-only” operation. The shift
lever(s) must be in the NEUTRAL position before
attempting to start the engine(s).
The following information relates to the general
description about your controls. Refer to the engine
operator’s manual or the control operator’s manual
for specific use.
26. SHIFT/THROTTLE LEVER -
Your control will
have a single lever for a single engine application
and dual levers for twin engine applications.
In some applications, multiple levers can be used
for each drive unit’s shift and engine’s throttle. The
left levers are for the port engine and the right
levers are for the starboard engine. The controls
are arranged with the shift levers (all one size)
grouped together and throttle levers (all one size,
and larger than the shift levers) grouped together.
27. DRIVE UNIT TRIM SWITCH -
Drive Unit Trim
Switch controls the trim angle of the drive unit(s).
This switch will maximize the performance and ride
of the boat. If combined with the optional trim tabs,
more enhancement to performance and ride can be
achieved.
HOUR METER -
An hour
meter for each engine is
located in the engine
compartment. The hour
meter accumulates the
operating hours of the
engine.
A
DANGER
Avoid injury or death. Make sure all
shift/throttle hardware and cables are
regularly inspected and maintained.
Improper maintained controls are
hazardous and may cause sudden loss
of control.
NOTICE: Do not use the shift
levers when the engines are not
running. Do not shift too quickly
from forward to reverse.
Damage to the engine(s) and
transmission can result. When
shifting from forward to reverse,
pause in the NEUTRAL position
until the engine(s) are at idle
speed and the boat has slowed.
When shifting from neutral to
forward or reverse, shift briskly
and decisively.
