17. TILT STEERING RELEASE LEVER - Adjusts
the steering wheel angle to a comfortable position
when the boat is not moving.
18. IGNITION SWITCHES - Each engine has its
separate ignition switch. The left switch is for the
port engine, and the right switch is for the starboard
engine. The ignition switches also supply
accessory power when turned to the left.
19. ENGINE HATCH - This switch operates the
electric motor box assembly. DO NOT continue to
operate the switch when the motor box is closed or
fully open.
Lower the motor box support after the motor box is
opened. Be sure to return the support to its stowed
position before lowering the box.
20. NAV. LIGHTS - NAV/ANC “Lights” - The
NAV/ANC is a three-position switch which activates
the navigational (running) lights and the anchor
light. After installing the light, press the switch
toward the “NAV.” Press the switch toward the
“ANC” and the anchoring/mooring light (360° white)
will illuminate.
Navigational Lights - You must use your
navigational lights (running lights) when operating
your Cobalt boat between sunset and sunrise, and
when day time visibility is limited. Also, check with
the local authorities before operating your boat for
other requirements concerning the use of
navigational lights.
The navigational lights are identified by a red light
on the port side of the vessel, and a green light on
the starboard side.
Anchor/Mooring Light - All boats at anchor or
moored must display a proper white anchor light.
A
DANGER
Avoid death or serious injury. Attach the
ignition safety switch lanyard to the
operator before starting the engine(s).
This will prevent the boat from
becoming a runaway if the operator is
accidentally thrown away from the helm.
The ignition safety switch can only be
effective when it is in good working
condition. Observe the following:
• DO NOT remove or modify the ignition
safety switch and/or lanyard.
• The lanyard must be free from
obstructions that could interfere with
its operation.
• DO NOT operate the boat if the ignition
safety switch does not function
properly.
• Attach the ignition safety switch
lanyard to a secure place on your
clothing, your arm or leg while
operating.
• DO NOT attach the lanyard to clothing
that could tear loose. DO NOT route
the lanyard where it could become
entangled, preventing it from
functioning.
• Avoid accidentally pulling the lanyard
during normal operation. Loss of
engine power means loss of most
steering control. Also, without engine
power, the boat could slow rapidly.
This could cause occupants and
objects in the boat to be thrown
forward.
A
WARNING
Avoid death, explosion or serious injury.
• Check engine compartment for
gasoline or vapors.
• Operate blower for four minutes.
• Verify blower operation.
• Run blower below cruising speed.
NOTICE: Operate the boat
between sunset and sunrise
using your navigational lights.
Navigational lights are legally
required to indicate direction
and right-of-way at night.
