CUDDY CABIN ACCESS
DOOR
The sliding cabin access door should not be open
when the boat is underway, since an open cabin
door can create a vacuum. Make sure the door is
secured when it is opened or closed, and do not
allow it to slide free.
WATER SYSTEM
If your Cobalt boat is equipped with a transom
shower (optional), the system allows for potable
(drinkable) water to be stored onboard for the
transom shower. Refer to
Section 1
,
Specifications
, for the capacity of the water
system.
The system is operated by a 12 V DC water pump
located in the engine compartment. It is necessary
for the 12 V DC system to be energized and the
WATER PRESSURE switch to be turned on to
operate the water system. The water pump works
on demand. It will not automatically shut off when
the fresh water tank is empty.
To clean the water tank, refer to

A
DANGER
Avoid the possibility of injury or death
from exposure to carbon monoxide
(CO). All gasoline and diesel engines
and fuel burning appliances such as
heaters, stoves and generators produce
carbon monoxide (CO). CO is colorless,
odorless and dangerous. Direct and
prolonged exposure to CO will cause
brain damage or death. Signs of
exposure to CO include nausea,
dizziness, drowsiness, ears ringing,
headaches, nausea, unconsciousness
and cherry red skin color are symptoms.
Avoid exposure to yourself and/or your
passengers to carbon monoxide. Check
the CO detectors before every outing
and keep the cabin door closed when
running the engine(s) or a generator.
Keep the cabin and cockpit areas well
ventilated and do not block exhaust
outlets.
NOTICE:
Secure the door when underway.
Do not sit, stand or place heavy
objects on the door. Unlock and
remove the key to avoid
breaking, unless leaving the
boat. Do not use caustic
materials or a dry rag to clean
the door. Use only a mild soap
and water.
NOTICE:
Overboard discharge of waste
water should only be used in
approved areas. It is your
responsibility to comply with
local regulations regarding the
discharge of waste. You could
be fined if your boat has an
operable overboard discharge
system.
