Tie-down locations are for keeping your Cobalt boat
secured when moored. The bow eye and/or stern
eyes can also be used. Refer to
Section 3

MOTOR BOX ASSEMBLY
The electric motor box assembly is controlled by its
switch located by the aft walk-thru. In the event of
battery failure or storage, the motor box can be
opened manually. The jump-start studs can also be
used to raise or lower the motor box when the
batteries are low or removed. Use an auxiliary
battery source such as a battery pack, jumper
cables, battery charger, boost battery, etc.
Do not operate the motor box assembly with any
obstructions that will interfere with its operation.
Damage to the motor box, hinges and lifting unit
can result. Before opening the motor box, make
sure no items are on top of the motor box and any
cushions, inserts or stored equipment are secure or
removed. Use the motor box support to support the
box once it is open. Be sure to return the support
back to its stow position and any obstructions are
cleared before closing the box. Wind and conditions
may allow the motor box to open beyond its limits.
Use caution during these conditions.
TOOL KIT - OPTIONAL
A tool kit assists you with correcting minor
mechanical and electrical problems. For location of
the tool kit, refer to
Section 1
,
Layout.
NOTICE: Only use properly
positioned slings to lift your
boat. Do not use deck cleats to
anchor or for towing. If towing,
only use the bow eye or the
stern eyes in a bridle manner.
A
DANGER
To avoid injury or death, do not occupy
or operate the engine(s) when the motor
box is open. The motor box assembly is
a machinery guard.
CAUTION
Avoid injury or damage to your boat. The
motor cover is heavy and may require
more than one person to lift it manually.
If lifting the box manually, position one
person at each grab handle and lift
straight up. Place support into position.
