DO NOT USE THE IGNITION SAFETY SWITCH AND LANYARD FOR NORMAL
STOPPING OF THE ENGINES. DOING SO WILL IMPAIR YOUR ABILITY TO RESTART THE ENGINES
QUICKLY OR MAY CREATE A HAZARDOUS SWAMPING CONDITION.
If any problems are encountered during the outing, have your boat inspected by your Cobalt
dealer and request any necessary repairs before your next outing.

RAILERING
With fiberglass boats, severe gelcoat crazing or more serious hull damage can occur
during launching, hauling and storage if pressure is created on the gunwales by the
slings or improper use of the bow and stern eyes.
Bow and stern eyes should only be used for the following:
• To secure the boat to the trailer.
• Lifting the boat from the water to a trailer or cradle (26 feet and under)
• Lifting the boat from a trailer or cradle to the water (26 feet and under)
Prolonged lifting with the bow and stern eyes may cause stress on the fiberglass and
gelcoat. The bow and stern eyes are not to be used for storage.
For overhead hoist storage and when lifting boats over 27 feet in length, use flat, wide
belt-type slings and spreaders long enough to keep pressure from gunwales. Do not
place slings where they may lift on underwater fittings and always place the aft sling
under the engine area. Never lift a boat with a large amount of water in the bilge.
Your model Cobalt may designate where to place straps or slings via sling tags located
below the gunwale on the hull sides. For more information, contact your Cobalt dealer.
A cradle or trailer is the ideal support for the boat whenever it is not in the water.
Properly designed and constructed, it will provide support at the proper points, which is
essential to avoid stress on the hull. Regardless of how you store your Cobalt in or out
of the water, it is important to always keep the bow higher than the stern of the boat.
CLEATS MUST NOT BE USED FOR LIFTING THE BOAT, THEY ARE INTENDED FOR
THE MOORING/DOCKING USE ONLY.
THE SKI TOW CANNOT BE USED TO LIFT THE BOAT. IT CAN ONLY BE USED FOR
WATER SKIING. IT IS NOT DESIGNED FOR TOWING ANOTHER BOAT OR FOR PARASAILING. THE
TRANSOM MOUNTED EYES SHOULD BE USED FOR PULLING A HEAVIER LOAD.
