Water System
If your Cobalt boat is equipped with a transom
shower, standard or optional galley, the system
allows for fresh water to be on-board. A 12 volt DC
water pump operates the system. It is necessary for
the boat’s battery(ies) to be turned on for the water
system to operate. Consult your authorized Cobalt
dealer for winterization requirements.
To clean the water tank, add 1/4 cup of baking soda
per 10 gallons of fresh water into the tank and allow
it to stand in the tank for one day; then flush the
tank twice. If this is not sufficient to clean the tank,
replace the baking soda with 2 tablespoons of
bleach per 10 gallons of fresh water and repeat the
procedure. Refer to
Section 1
,
Specifications
, for
your boat’s fresh water capacity.
FIRE SUPPRESSION
EQUIPMENT
If your Cobalt boat is equipped with a fixed
automatic fire extinguisher that uses FE-241 (or
optional FM-200, for European requirements) as an
extinguishing agent, it is mounted on the engine
compartment and generator compartment (if
equipped). These extinguishers are activated when
the heat sensitive head reaches a predetermined
temperature. The extinguisher discharges and
saturates the engine and/or generator
compartment, smothering the fire.
Inspect fire extinguishers for proper charge before
operating the boat.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Your Cobalt boat has a 12-volt negative ground DC
system. The positive wire is hot, and feeds current
from the batteries to all 12-volt equipment; the
negative wire is the ground.
The DC components are controlled from the helm
switches after the battery switch. If your Cobalt boat
has a cabin, it may have an electrical system panel
that supplies 12 volts to these types of accessories:
• Cabin lights
• Cockpit lights
• Head
• Fresh water pressure pump
• Air compressor
• Entertainment system
CIRCUIT BREAKER PANEL
Most electrical standard equipment devices are
controlled with circuit breakers located below the
helm. The breakers are labeled to identify the
device protected. These breakers will activate if
overloaded and cut power to the switch. To restore
power, turn off the device and push the breaker
button in and release. If the button continues to pop
out when the device is used, see your authorized
Cobalt dealer. Your boat may not be equipped with
all of these features or options.
A
WARNING
Avoid injury, death or explosion. DO
NOT open the engine compartment
hatch immediately. This will allow
oxygen to the fire and flashback can
occur. When the fire extinguisher
discharge occurs, turn off all engines,
bilge blowers and electrical system
components.
