Starting/Shifting/Steering/Stopping
Your Cobalt yacht is equipped with a warning
system that will sound an alarm if an engine
problem develops. The horn may emit a short
chirping sound during starting to verify operation. If
the warning horn sounds when operating the boat,
IMMEDIATELY throttle back to idle speed and shift
into the NEUTRAL position. IMMEDIATELY check
the gauges and stop the engines.
Carbon Monoxide Detectors, if equipped
Avoid the possibility of injury or death from
exposure to carbon monoxide (CO). All gasoline
and diesel engines and fuel burning appliances
such as heaters, stoves and generators produce
carbon monoxide (CO). CO is colorless, odorless
and dangerous. Direct and prolonged exposure to
CO will cause brain damage or death. Signs of
exposure to CO include nausea, dizziness,
drowsiness, ears ringing, headaches,
unconsciousness and cherry red skin color. Avoid
exposing your passsengers and yourself to carbon
monoxide. 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
detector. It is installed for your safety.
Carbon monoxide poisoning should not be
confused with seasickness, intoxication or heat
stress. If someone complains of irritated eyes,
headache, nausea, weakness or dizziness, or you
suspect carbon monoxide poisoning, immediately
move the person to fresh air, investigate the cause
and take corrective action. Seek medical attention if
necessary.
