ROUBLESHOOTING
Store your Cobalt boat on a storage cradle with the
bow slightly elevated, the same attitude as if the
boat were floating at rest. If the boat is stored with
the bow down, moisture will not be able to move to
the engine bilge area and out of the boat. Remove
the transom drain plug.
Be sure that all compartments in the bilge
completely drain. Mold and mildew may form as a
result of the inability of moisture to escape.
STORAGE/WINTERIZATION
Preparing for winter lay-up is important. In frigid
zones, be particularly attentive to items that can be
damaged by freezing. Freeze damage is not
covered by warranty.
The following items require special attention for
winterization. Your Cobalt boat may not include all
the features described. Have your authorized
Cobalt dealer perform winterization procedures for
the following:
• Engine cooling and exhaust systems
• Fuel system
• Batteries
• Air conditioning
• Generator and muffler
• Waste water system
• Freshwater system
• Gray water system
• Cockpit heater
After the boat has been properly positioned on a
storage cradle, thoroughly wash the hull, deck and
interior compartments. Allow a couple of days of air
drying before covering the boat, store all cushions
in the OPEN position and open all storage areas.
This will help prevent mold/mildew from forming.
Perform preventive maintenance to the interior and
exterior of your boat following the information in
Section 5
,
Interior and Exterior Care
.
Cover the boat with the mooring cover. If a
temporary poly cover, such as shrink wrap, is used,
your authorized Cobalt dealer will install several
vents to provide adequate ventilation to prevent
mold or mildew.
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.
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.
