9. OIL (Engine Oil Pressure Gauge) - Measures
the pressure of the engine’s lubricating oil, in
pounds per square inch (PSI). Refer to the engine
operator’s manual for correct specifications.
Many serious engine problems are reflected on oil
pressure gauge readings. If the pressure is lower
than the manufacturer’s specification, immediately
shut off the engine. Have your authorized Cobalt
dealer correct the problem before operating the
engine.
10. CAPT CALL (Captain’s Call Exhaust -
Optional) -
This switch determines the routing of
the engine exhaust. In the ON position, engine
exhaust is routed through the thru-hull pipes. This
position produces the most engine power, but is not
acceptable near shore or on inland lakes and rivers.
In the OFF position, engine exhaust is routed
through the hub of the propeller. This position
releases the exhaust underwater providing a
quieter engine sound.
Be sure to check local regulations regarding noise
restrictions before operating this system.
11. WIPER (Starboard Windshield Wiper -
Optional) -
This switch controls the wiper.
12. DOCKING LIGHTS (Optional) - This switch
operates the docking lights.
Docking lights are to be used for docking only. It is
illegal to use your docking lights while cruising.
13. NAV. LIGHTS - NAV/ANC “Lights” - This three-
position switch 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.
The anchor light (all around light) is the white light
located aft of the cockpit. The anchor light must be
visible from 360° and will remain on when operating
the navigational lights.
14. BILGE PUMP AFT/MD/FWD - These switches
manually control the bilge pump designated.
15. ENG. COMP. LIGHTS - This switch provides
illumination within the engine compartment.
16. COCKPIT LIGHTS - This switch provides
illumination within the cockpit.
17. BLOWER - This switch activates the engine
compartment ventilation blower to remove
explosive fumes from the area. The blower must be
operated for a minimum of four minutes each time
before starting the engines or generator. In
addition, the blower should be operated
continuously when at idle or running at slow
speeds.
18. HORN - This switch activates the horn. Press
the switch to activate.
CAUTION
Avoid damage to the exhaust system.
Do not switch the exhaust above 3,000
RPM.
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.
