NFORMATION
• The propellers should be of the proper pitch to
turn the recommended RPM rating for the
engine with an average boat load. Refer to your
propulsion unit operator’s manual for additional
information.
• Watch the tachometer. Keep the engine within
the full throttle operating range. Refer to the
propulsion unit operator’s manual for full
throttle operating range.
High-speed operation on smooth water is very
stable, but quick reactions and adjustments are
needed to maintain control. Know your limits and
stay within them. Keep one hand on the steering
wheel and the other on the throttle; constant
adjustments are necessary for rapidly changing
conditions. Small inputs of throttle, steering and
trim movement are exaggerated at high speeds.
Keep watch well ahead so that you have enough
time to react.
Anchoring
Be sure the anchor is adequate for your boat. Use
caution when anchoring. Look for signs of
underwater pipes or cables. With the engine off,
you have no control of the boat. Water and wind
conditions will affect an anchored boat. Be sure the
anchor will hold before leaving the boat.
There are many types of anchors available on the
market. The choice of one anchor over another
depends on many factors. An anchor will usually
hold best in a mixture of mud and clay or in hard
sand. A Danforth anchor is recommended for
general boating. For more information on anchors,
contact your authorized Cobalt dealer.
The windlass, if equipped, gets its power from the
12V DC system. The windlass can be operated at
the driver’s helm or from the foredeck on some
models and only from a switch located in the
anchor locker area on others.
The windlass system can also be operated
manually. On the anchor locker lid on the foredeck,
you will find a crank. A longer windlass crank is
located in one of the cockpit storage areas or in the
engine compartment bulkhead.
Please consult the operator’s manual supplied with
the windlass system for proper operation of the
system in the electric and manual modes.
The circuit breaker on the battery switch panel
under the port aft seat must be in the ON position
to operate the windlass. When not in use, turn the
circuit breaker to the OFF position.
A
DANGER
Avoid injury, death or loss of control.
Keep one hand on the steering wheel
and the other on the throttle control at
all times. If the boat begins to operate in
an unsafe way, pull back on the throttle.
Trim the drive unit in at the same time
and maintain control.
A
WARNING
Avoid injury, death or swamping. Anchor
from the bow, not from the stern. A
strong current can pull a boat
underwater, anchored by the stern, and
keep it there.
