Cobalt Boats has made a significant contribution to
the boating industry by successfully completing the
Mercury MerCruiser
®
propulsion-installation quality
certification program and the Volvo Penta Certified
OEM Program.
MerCruiser
The MerCruiser Program partners boat builders
with MerCruiser to improve product quality and
enhance boating-enthusiast satisfaction. The
certification program is designed to review all facets
of manufacturing and installation processes and to
identify opportunities to implement Lean Six Sigma
processes and training programs. Key areas of
focus include assembly and component
specifications, propulsion-installation processes
and industry-standard end-of-line test procedures.
Volvo Penta
The Volvo Penta Program requires the boat builder
commitment to follow the established training
requirements, installation procedures and
documentation processes throughout the engine
installation and testing process. Ultimately, the goal
of the program is to improve integrated product
quality and customer satisfaction as well as to
reduce warranty visits and costs.

Serial Number Locations
Your Cobalt boat, its engines and propulsion units,
and other equipment onboard will have a serial
number for identification. It is a good practice to
prepare a list of all serial number items and store it
in a safe place other than onboard the boat. A page
is supplied at the end of this manual for this
purpose. The Hull Identification Number (HIN) is
located on the upper starboard side of the transom.
Please refer to the equipment operator’s manuals
