MANEUVERABILITY
When operating any boat at high speed, a great deal of caution must be exercised. This
is particularly true during turns. Gradual turns can be completed at high speed by a
competent driver but it must be emphasized that sudden turns at any speed and
particularly at high speed can be especially dangerous. It is possible to throw passengers
from their seats and even from the boat if caution is not exercised. Remember, common
sense is the rule for safe boating.
MANEUVERABILITY ABOVE 50 MPH IS LIMITED. SUDDEN TURNS MAY CAUSE LOSS
OF CONTROL.
WAKE JUMPING - YOUR COBALT IS NOT DESIGNED FOR WAKE JUMPING. WHEN
CROSSING ANOTHER BOAT’S WAKE, THROTTLE BACK TO PREVENT YOUR BOAT FROM LEAVING
THE WATER. WAKE JUMPING IS VERY DANGEROUS. IT IS POSSIBLE FOR THE BOAT TO RE-ENTER
THE WATER ON ITS SIDE, TRANSOM, OR BOW. YOU AND YOUR PASSENGERS COULD SUFFER
SERIOUS INJURY. ALSO, DAMAGE TO THE BOAT COULD TAKE PLACE CAUSING A HAZARDOUS
CONDITION.
