It is best to learn maneuvering skills in open water away from traffic. Adequate practice
is the only way to develop your boating skills.
LEAVING
Use caution when casting off. Wind, water conditions and other boat traffic will affect
your boat’s movement. Move slowly and:
• Be sure the engines are warmed-up before casting off.
• Have enough space between the boat and the dock to allow you to swing the boat’s
bow away from the dock. The boat’s stern will move toward the dock as the bow
moves away. Allow for enough room or the stern will hit the dock.
• Retrieve all mooring lines and fenders.
• Proceed slowly. Sound a long blast to alert other boaters that you are departing.
When leaving a mooring, you should already have enough space around the boat to
maneuver. Untie from the mooring and move back slowly until you can see it. Proceed
slowly while giving the buoy wide clearance.
While operating your Cobalt boat:
• Check gauges frequently for signs of abnormal behavior.
• Check steering, shift and throttle controls continue to operate smoothly.
• Check for excessive vibration.
• Monitor your fuel supply.
• Verify charging of the batteries.
RETURNING
Approach a dock slowly and use caution. Plan your maneuvers ahead of time. Allow
wind and current movement to help maneuver your boat.
DO NOT USE YOUR HANDS, ARMS OR ANOTHER PART OF YOUR BODY TO ATTEMPT
TO KEEP THE BOAT FROM HITTING THE DOCK. THE BOAT COULD PUSH AGAINST THE DOCK,
CAUSING SEVERE INJURY.
