This section is not intended to provide complete training on all aspects of boat
operation. We strongly recommend that all operators of this Cobalt boat seek additional
training on boat handling and safety. Have all operators become familiar with the
handling characteristics and proper steering and control system usage before attempting
high-speed operation.
P
RECAUTIONS
Become familiar with the location and operation of all equipment. Have emergency
plans in place. Be sure to perform a safety check before operating your boat.
READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS MANUAL AND THE PROPULSION UNIT OPERATOR’S
MANUAL, AND BE SURE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND ALL CONTROLS AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE THE BOAT. IMPROPER OPERATION CAN BE EXTREMELY
HAZARDOUS.
Your safety, the safety of your passengers, and other boaters are among your
responsibilities as operator of this boat. Your boat must be in compliance with USCG
safety equipment regulations. You should know how to react correctly to adverse
weather conditions, have good navigation skills, and follow the “Rules of the Road” as
defined by the USCG and state, county and local regulations.
We cannot stress enough, the importance of reading your propulsion unit operator’s
manuals and following the manufacturer’s instructions for breaking-in your engines.
Before each outing you should check all safety equipment, such as fire extinguishers,
PDFs, flares, distress flags, flashlights and engine stop switch. They should be operable,
in good condition, readily visible, and easily accessible.

NSTRUMENTATION
Your Cobalt Boat has been outfitted with instruments manufactured by Faria Marine
Instruments. Each instrument was manufactured in an ISO 9001 registered facility, built
to stringent standards, and passed comprehensive quality control procedures prior to
shipment.
THE INSTRUMENT SYSTEM
Your Cobalt Instrument System consists of individual gauges, wiring harnesses, senders,
sensors and transducers. Each of these items has their own tolerances. If these tolerances
“stack up” in opposite directions it can lead to what may be perceived as a larger
difference in operating readings than actually exists. In twin-engine applications it’s not
unusual for tachometers and gauges to have slightly different readings between engines.
