Operating Information
The optional macerator system allows the
discharging of waste water directly overboard
through a seacock. The seacock’s valve must be
opened to allow activation of the macerator pump
switch located in the head area. Refer to
Section 4
,
Water/Plumbing
for component location. For
additional operating information, refer to the
macerator operator’s manual supplied with your
Cobalt boat.
A “Y” valve is installed between the pumpout plate
and the macerator discharge seacock. The
macerator pump is located between the “Y” valve
and the macerator discharge seacock. In this
configuration all waste is flushed from the head to
the holding tank. The “Y” valve permits you to use
the dockside pumpout feature, or to use the
macerator to pump the waste from the holding tank
overboard.
To pump out the holding tank using the macerator
pump:
1. Open the discharge seacock.
2. Move the “Y” valve lever to the down or
overboard position.
3. Activate the macerator pump by turning its
switch on.
4. Close the macerator discharge seacock and
turn macerator pump off after the pumpout is
complete.
If your boat is equipped with a tank level monitor,
the tank level monitor will illuminate the indicator
lights to monitor the tank level.
BATTERY CHARGER
Your Cobalt boat is equipped with a multi-bank
charger located on the bulkhead forward of the port
engine. Anytime your boat is connected to shore
power or the optional generator is running and the
MAIN and BATTERY CHARGER switch at the
cabin distribution panel is on, the battery charger
will operate to keep the batteries fully charged.
Refer to the battery charger operator’s manual for
additional information.
AIR CONDITIONING/HEATING
- OPTIONAL
The Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning
(HVAC) system supplies both heating and cooling
to the cabin using a heat pump system, and
operates on 110 V AC supplied by shore power or
the generator. The system controller is located in
the cabin.
The system must be properly winterized for storage
to prevent damage. For additional information, refer
to the air conditioning operating instructions in your
owner’s packet.
To operate the HVAC system:
1. Open the seacock in the engine compartment.
2. Turn on the “MAIN” and “AIR CONDITIONER”
circuit breakers located on the cabin distribution
panel.
3. Turn HVAC system on by pressing appropriate
buttons on the controller and adjust settings as
needed.
NOTICE:
The boat must be in the water
before operating the air
conditioning/heating system.
