Reactivating the Boat After Storage
Have your authorized Cobalt dealer prep your boat
for the upcoming boating season. There are many
systems that require special attention to ensure
your boat is in proper operating condition.
• Carbon monoxide detector(s), if equipped
• Fuel and exhaust systems
• Engine’s cooling, exhaust and lubrication
systems
• Air conditioning
• Generator and muffler
• Freshwater system
• Waste water system
• Gray water system
• Batteries
It is very important that all fuel systems and
exhaust systems be thoroughly inspected and
repaired, if necessary, before operating the boat.
Also, any accessory exhaust systems must be in
proper operating condition.
If your batteries were removed for winter storage,
you can use your jump-start studs to raise or lower
the motor box. Use an auxiliary battery source such
as a battery pack, jumper cables, battery charger,
boost battery, etc.
Cockpit Heater
To winterize the optional cockpit heater, remove the
two 5/8-inch cockpit heater hoses from the engine.
Pump antifreeze into one hose until entire heater
system is filled.
NOTICE: For stowage, we
recommend an optional mooring
cover of 100% SharkSkin™
polyester. DO NOT use your
tonneau cover for long-term
storage. These canvases were
not designed for long-term
storage and do not provide good
protection for your boat.
Adequate ventilation is not
possible and mold/mildew will
form.
For more information on
appropriate covering for long
term storage, see your
authorized Cobalt dealer.
A
DANGER
Avoid the risk of fire or explosion.
Inspect the fuel system. Failure to
inspect the fuel system and allow fuel
leaks to go undetected will contribute to
a fire or explosion hazard.
A
DANGER
Avoid the possibility of injury or death.
Exposure to carbon monoxide (CO) can
cause severe injury or death. All
gasoline engines produce CO. CO is
colorless, odorless and dangerous.
Direct and prolonged exposure to CO
will cause brain damage or death. Signs
of exposure to CO include nausea,
dizziness and drowsiness. Avoid
exposing your passengers or yourself to
carbon monoxide.
A
WARNING
The extended swim platform must be
attached to the boat when it is in use.
The boarding ladder is attached to the
boarding platform. The removable
feature is for boat storage only.
