MAINTENANCE
A problem with a piece of equipment can occur at
any time. Be aware of a malfunction. Have a
problem serviced immediately by your authorized
Cobalt dealer.
Engine/Propulsion/Cooling System
If a problem occurs with your engine, propulsion
unit or the cooling system between the scheduled
maintenance cycle, immediately notify your
authorized Cobalt dealer. Do not allow a problem to
go unattended. By doing so, a minor repair could
become a major overhaul.
Electrical System
Have your authorized Cobalt dealer repair all
electrical problems. An electrical problem must be
treated seriously.
Fuel System
Do not operate your boat knowing you have a fuel
system problem. Upon discovery of a fuel system
problem, immediately notify your authorized Cobalt
dealer for repair.
A
DANGER
Avoid the risk of injury or drowning. The
ignition safety switch and lanyard are to
prevent the boat from becoming a
runaway if the operator is accidentally
thrown away from the helm. With the
engine(s) running, pull the lanyard off
the ignition safety switch. Engine(s)
must stop running. If the engine or
engines do not stop running,
immediately see your authorized Cobalt
dealer for service.
