This section is not intended to provide complete
training on all aspects of boat operation. We
strongly recommend that all operators of this
Cobalt Performance Cruiser seek additional
training on boat handling and safety. Have all
operators become familiar with the handling
characteristics and proper steering and control
system usage before attempting high-speed
operation.
PRECAUTIONS
Become familiar with the location and operation of
all equipment. Have emergency plans in place. Be
sure to perform a safety check before operating
your boat.
CO Poisoning
CAUTION
A carbon monoxide (CO) detector will only
detect the presence of carbon monoxide
gas at its sensor. Carbon monoxide may
be present in other areas.
!
WARNING
Test the carbon monoxide detector
operation before each trip, at least once a
week and after the boat has been in
storage. Do not tamper with the operation
of the carbon monoxide detectors. They
are installed for your safety.
!
!
DANGER
Carbon monoxide gas (CO) is colorless,
odorless and extremely dangerous. All
engines and fuel burning appliances
produce CO as exhaust. Direct and
prolonged exposure to CO will cause
BRAIN DAMAGE or DEATH. Signs of
exposure to CO include nausea, dizziness
and drowsiness.
NOTICE: A carbon monoxide detector
will not detect other vapors such as
gasoline.
To reduce CO accumulation
●
Ventilate the boat interior by opening the deck
hatches and windows to provide adequate
ventilation.
●
Do not operate the engines or generator with
the canvas installed.
●
Only operate fuel burning appliances in well-
ventilated areas.
●
Avoid idling for extended periods.
●
Regularly inspect the exhaust system for
proper operation.
●
Do not use any fuel burning appliances with a
transom exhaust port when swimming from the
stern swim platform.
For additional information, refer to the carbon
monoxide detector operator’s manual supplied
with your boat.
Fire/Explosion
Most fires are the result of gasoline and oil
accumulating in the bilge from careless fueling
practices. Use the fire extinguisher at the base of
the flames using a sweeping motion. Prudent and
accurate use of the available chemicals should
contain all but the worst fires. Verify that the fire
has been extinguished. If so, check damage and
get assistance immediately. If not, get out and
swim at least 23 meters (25 yards) upwind from
the boat and use the visual distress signals to get
assistance. Refer to
Safety
, in
Section 2
, for
additional information.
