Registration/Documentation
The USCG requires that all power boats operated

registered in the state of main use; also, many
states require registration in that state whenever
boating on waters within their state boundary.
Contact your state boating authorities (and
neighboring states) for registration information on
boats and trailers.
Your authorized Cobalt dealer can supply you with
the appropriate forms.
