Your safety, the safety of your passengers, and
other boaters are among your responsibilities as
operator of this boat. Your boat must be in
compliance with U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) safety
equipment regulations. You should know how to
react correctly to adverse weather conditions,
have good navigation skills, and follow the “rules
of the road” as defined by the USCG and
state/county/local regulations.
OWNER/OPERATOR
RESPONSIBILITIES
At the time of delivery, the owner/operator is
responsible for:
●
Understanding warranty terms and conditions
of both the propulsion units and boat.
● Obtaining insurance.
●
Examining boat to ensure proper operation of
all systems.
Before operating the boat, the owner/operator is
responsible for:
●
Obtaining state registration of the boat.
● Providing the proper USCG required safety
equipment.
●
Following proper break-in procedure for the
propulsion units.
● Understanding safety information and proper
operating procedures within this manual.
While operating the boat, the owner/operator is
responsible for:
● Knowing that all safety equipment and personal
flotation devices are in good condition and
suitable for your boat and passenger load.
● Having at least one other passenger who is
capable of handling the boat in an emergency.
● Following safe operating practices and the
rules of the road.
●
Understanding proper maintenance and
knowledge of the boat’s operating systems.
● Providing safety training for the passengers.
●
Avoiding use of alcohol and other drugs.
● Providing assistance to other boaters.
Registration/Documentation
The USCG requires that all power boats operated
on the navigable waters of the U. S. must be
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 dealer can supply you with
the appropriate forms.
Required Safety Equipment
The Federal Boat Safety Act of 1971 (FBSA/71)
established minimum safety standards for boats
and associated equipment, specified by the
USCG. In addition, the ABYC and the NMMA
work with boat builders to develop voluntary
standards that exceed base requirements.
The included safety equipment on your Cobalt
meets or exceeds the standards of the USCG,
ABYC and the NMMA. Some required safety
equipment such as personal flotation devices are
not included with your Cobalt boat. Your Cobalt
dealer can help you choose the appropriate
equipment.
NOTICE: Many states’ equipment
requirements go beyond USCG
requirements. Contact your state
boating office for further information.
Equipment requirements for coastal and inland
waters differ. Check with local authorities or the
USCG for further information about coastal water
requirements.
Navigation Lights
All power boats underway between sunset and
sunrise must display proper navigation lights. All
boats at anchor must display a proper anchor
light. Anchor light must be visible 360 degrees.
Your Cobalt 360 Performance Cruiser is equipped
with international navigation lights.
Horn or Whistle
All boats over 4.8 m (16 ft) in length must be
equipped with an operable horn or whistle, audible
from one mile. Your Cobalt 360 Performance
Cruiser is equipped with a USCG approved horn.
