Starting the Engine
Cobalt Check List
For maximum enjoyment and safety, check each of
these items.
BEFORE you start your engine:
• DRAIN PLUG (Securely in place?)
• PERSONAL FLOTATION DEVICES (One for
every person onboard?)
• STEERING SYSTEM (Working smoothly and
properly?)
• FUEL SYSTEM (Adequate fuel? Leaks?
Fumes?)
• BATTERY (Fully charged? Proper water level?)
• ENGINE (In the NEUTRAL position?)
• CAPACITY PLATE (Are you overloaded or
overpowered?)
• WEATHER CONDITIONS (Safe to go out?)
• ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT (Lights, horn,
pump, etc.?)
• EMERGENCY GEAR (Fire extinguisher,
bailer, paddle, anchor and line, signaling
device, tool kit, etc.?)
RECOMMENDED SAFETY RULES
• REMAIN SEATED WHILE UNDERWAY.
• AVOID USING REAR PAD OR SUNDECK
WHILE ENGINE IS RUNNING.
• DO NOT USE BOARDING LADDER WHILE
ENGINE IS RUNNING.
• TURN OFF ENGINE AND ALL ELECTRICAL
SYSTEMS WHILE REFUELING.
• TURN OFF ENGINE WHEN SWIMMERS ARE
NEAR BOAT.
After launching and pre-start checks and
procedures have been followed, the engine can be
started. Please refer to the propulsion unit
operator’s manual for additional starting procedure
information.
Start the engine with the shift control lever in the
NEUTRAL position. Your boat is equipped with a
neutral safety switch which will not allow engine to
be started unless the shift control levers are in the
NEUTRAL position.
Make sure:
• Control lever is in the NEUTRAL position.
• Throttle lever is at the IDLE position.
1. Turn the ignition key to START position.
Release the key immediately after the engine
starts. If the engine fails to start, refer to the
propulsion unit operator’s manual for additional
information.
2. Operate the engine at approximately 1,000
RPM and check the oil pressure gauge. If oil
pressure is not within specified range, stop the
engine immediately. Have your authorized
Cobalt dealer service the engine.
3. Make sure the water pressure gauge indicates
water pressure immediately after starting the
engine. If it does not, turn off the engine and
contact your authorized Cobalt dealer.
4. Allow the engine to warm up. Check the water
temperature gauge to be sure water
temperature remains within the specified range.
If the temperature gauge reads abnormally high,
stop the engine immediately. Check the drive unit’s
water inlets for blockage. If the inlets are open,
have your authorized Cobalt dealer service the
engine.
A
DANGER
Avoid death, injury, fire or explosion.
Operate the blower for at least four
minutes each time you start the engine.
In addition, the blower should be
operated continuously when at idle and
during slow speed operation.
NOTICE: Release the ignition
key after the engine starts. Do
not run the start motor for more
than 10 seconds at a time.
Failure to follow this procedure
can damage an engine and the
engine’s starter motor.
