Ventilation System
The ventilation system removes fuel fumes using
blowers from the engine compartment and takes in
fresh air through vents. Always keep vents free
from obstruction.
Store flammables only in approved, vented
containers securely fastened in a locker sealed
from the interior of the boat and vented out of the
side of the boat. Storing flammables in areas not
designed for vapor removal creates a hazard.
Be aware of carbon monoxide from your own or
other boats. Allow air movement to dissipate fumes.
Electrical Systems
Your Cobalt boat can be equipped with one or two
electrical systems. A direct current (DC) system is
battery powered and supplies electricity to lights,
pumps, blowers, engine ignition and sometimes a
refrigerator. An alternating current (AC) system is
shore power, or generator, and supplies electricity
to the electrical outlet, air conditioning, battery
charger and other 110V AC or 220V AC appliances
or components. Do not exceed rated amperage of
electrical circuits.
If your boat is equipped with an optional battery
charger, it must only be plugged into a Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protected AC outlet.
When using an extension cord, connect the charger
AC plug first before connecting the extension cord
to the GFCI outlet.
A
DANGER
Avoid death, injury, fire or explosion.
Operate the blower for at least four
minutes each time you start the engine.
In addition, the blower should be
operated continuously when the boat is
stopped, operating at cruising speed or
when the generator is running.
A
DANGER
Never use an open flame in the battery
storage area. The battery will explode if
a flame or spark ignites the free
hydrogen gas given off during charging.
Be sure to prevent sparks near the
battery.
A
WARNING
Only a qualified marine electrical
technician may service the boat’s
electrical system.
• Disconnect the electrical system from
its power source before performing
maintenance. Never work on the
electrical system when it is energized.
• Electrical appliances must not exceed
the rated amperage of the boat circuit.
• Observe the electrical system carefully
while it is energized. The only
electrical components that can be left
unattended are the automatic bilge
pump, fire protection and alarm
circuits.
CAUTION
Always turn off the engine before
servicing the battery. Disconnect the
battery cables before working on the
electrical system to prevent arcing or
damage to the engine’s alternator.
Disconnect the negative (-) cable first,
and then disconnect the positive (+)
cable.
