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 12V DC water pump
located in the engine compartment. It is necessary
for the 12V 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 freshwater tank is empty.
To clean the water tank, refer to
Section 6
,
Water
Systems
.
Consult your authorized Cobalt dealer for
winterization requirements.

Before operating the head for the first time, refer to
the marine toilet owner’s manual in your owner’s
packet.
Porta Potti
1. Depress the bellows pump to fill the bowl with
water.
2. To flush, pull out the slide valve handle, located
on the front of the unit. Depress the bellows
pump one or more times until all waste is
removed.
3. Close the slide valve by pushing the handle fully
in.
The marine toilet (head) has its own holding tank
and can be emptied manually, or if the “pump out
with or without macerator” option is installed, the
waste can be pumped out through a deck plate
fitting marked “WASTE”, or overboard with the
optional macerator.

WARNING
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING OR
ROTATING PARTS HAZARD
Poisonous CO gases are present at the
rear of the craft when the engine is
running. Exposure to CO gases can
cause death or serious injury. A rotating
propeller can cut or entangle causing
death or serious injury. DO NOT use the
swim/boarding platform when the
engine is running.
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.
To avoid a fine, remove the
handle of the seacock (in the
CLOSED position) or disable
the system by other means such
as locking the
“

valve in the
“
pump-out
”
position.
