12. CIRCUIT BREAKER PANEL -
Most electrical
standard equipment devices are controlled with
circuit breakers located below the helm. The
breakers are labeled to identify the device
protected. These breakers will activate if
overloaded and cut power to the switch. To restore
power, turn off the device and push the breaker
button in and release. If the button continues to pop
out when the device is used, see your Cobalt
dealer.
13. TILT STEERING RELEASE LEVER
14. IGNITION SWITCH PANEL -
Each engine has
its separate ignition switch. The left switch is for the
port engine, and the right switch is for the starboard
engine.
15. REMOTE GENERATOR START / STOP
SWITCH (Optional)
16. GPS UNIT -
The global positioning satellite
(GPS) system performs many functions. The
system can precisely indicate your location, form a
trip record or a speed log. In addition, individual
mapping chips can be purchased through your
Cobalt dealer for most lakes, rivers and coastal
areas of the U.S. and Canada. See your Cobalt
dealer for further information referencing these
chips.
Remote Controls
Your Cobalt boat is equipped with a safety switch
for "start-in neutral-only" operation. The shift levers
must be in the NEUTRAL position before
attempting to start the engines.
The following information relates to the general
description about your controls. Refer to the engine
operator's manual or the control operator's manual
for specific use.
Your controls have individual levers for each drive
unit's shift and engine's throttle. The left levers are
for the port engine and the right levers are for the
starboard engine. The controls are arranged with
the shift levers (all one size) grouped together and
throttle levers (all one size, and larger than the shift
levers) grouped together.
A
WARNING
Avoid injury, death or explosion.
• Check engine compartment for
gasoline or vapors.
• Operate blower for four minutes.
• Verify blower operation.
• Run blower below cruising speed.
A
DANGER
Avoid injury or death. Make sure all
shift/throttle hardware and cables are
regularly inspected and maintained.
Improper maintained controls are
hazardous and may cause sudden loss
of control.
NOTICE: Do not use the shift
levers when the engines are not
running. Do not shift too quickly
from forward to reverse.
Damage to the engines and
transmission can result. When
shifting from forward to reverse,
pause in neutral until the
engines are at idle speed and
the boat has slowed. When
shifting from neutral to forward
or reverse, shift briskly and
decisively.
