Section 6

Fuel System

Do not operate your boat knowing you have a fuel
system problem. Upon discovery of a fuel system
problem, immediately notify your authorized Cobalt
dealer for repair.

Water System (if equipped)

Fresh Water

Before departing on a cruise, check the level of
fresh water onboard. Fill the fresh water tank and
verify for proper operation on the fresh water
system. If a problem is found, have the problem
repaired at your earliest convenience.

Gray Water

Periodically check the level of waste water in the
waste tank. Have your waste tank pumped out
when needed and be sure that the waste system is
always operating properly.

LIFTING THE BOAT

To prevent structural damage to your Cobalt boat,
the proper procedure must be used when lifting
your boat. Only use appropriate style lifting slings
to lift the boat. Slings must be used to lift the boat.

Using Lifting Slings

The only recommended method of removing the
boat from the water is to use a trailer designed for
your boat or lifting slings. Slings must be the flat,
wide-belting type. Do not use cable-type slings. The
spreader bars used with the slings must be wide
enough to avoid pressure to the gunwales.

If your Cobalt boat has sling location decals on
each side of the hull to indicate the general area
where each sling should be located, use them to
position the slings. If your boat does not have
decals, contact your authorized Cobalt dealer to
identify the proper location for slings. Slings may
need to be adjusted forward or aft for your
particular boat.

1 – Flat, wide-belting sling

Storage Cradle

Only use a storage cradle or the trailer designed for
your boat to store your boat when it is not in the
water. A storage cradle or your boat’s trailer will
provide proper support and prevent stress on the
hull.

Position the storage cradle as close to the sling tag
locations as possible. Use caution not to damage
any underwater fittings.

The storage cradle must completely touch the hull
for proper support. Avoid any gaps between the
cradle and the hull.

1 – Hull completely on cradle — right
2 – Gap between hull and cradle — wrong

A

WARNING

Avoid fire or explosion. Whenever
checking for electrical problems, use
extreme caution. Fuel and fumes are
extremely flammable and explosive. DO
NOT operate your boat when a fuel leak
is detected. All fuels are combustible. A
fuel leak must be repaired before
starting the engine(s) or the generator (if
equipped).
