Qualified Boat Operators
This manual is not intended to provide complete
training on all aspects of boat operation. We
strongly recommend that all operators of this boat
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.
Some states require youths 16 years of age and
younger to complete a boating safety course before
operating any watercraft. Many others require
operators under the age of 18 to be licensed in
small boat operation.
Minors must be supervised by an adult whenever
operating a boat. Many states have laws regarding
the minimum age and licensing requirements of
minors. Be sure to contact the state boating
authorities for information.
Safety While Boating
Your Cobalt boat is affixed with various safety
labels at the time of manufacture. These labels
appear at specific locations on the craft where
safety is of particular concern. Refer to
Section 1
,
Warning Labels
.
Safety labels must remain legible. If you suspect a
label is missing or becomes damaged, contact your
authorized Cobalt dealer for immediate
replacement.
Federal, State and Local Regulations
The USCG is the authority of the waterways; it is
there to help the boating public. State boating
regulations are enforced by local authorities. You
are subject to marine traffic laws and “Rules of the
Road” for both federal and state waterways; you
must stop if signaled to do so by enforcement
officers, and permit to be boarded as asked.
Discharge of Oil
The discharge of fuel, oil and other chemicals into
the water is prohibited. Be sure to clean up all fuel
and oil spillage in the bilge using rags and sponges.
Properly store and dispose of them when you get to
shore. Do not allow any fuel or oil spills to be
pumped out into the water. If fuel or oil leaks
continue to be a problem, immediately have the
problem repaired.
When refueling, do not “top-off” the fuel tanks.
Allow for expansion which will reduce fuel spills
from the fuel tank vents.
Solid Waste Disposal
The disposal of solid waste and plastics into the
water is prohibited. Bag all refuse and properly
dispose of it when you get ashore.
Marine Sanitation
Have your authorized Cobalt dealer properly
service the waste disposal system when needed.
Excessive Noise
Noise limits are regulated in many areas. Be sure
to follow regulations and be courteous.
NOTICE: It is illegal to dispose
of any plastic trash into waters
of the U.S.
NOTICE: Direct disposal of
sanitation waste into some
waters could result in fines. Be
sure to check local regulations.
NOTICE: Avoid damage to the
waste disposal system and the
environment. Do not place facial
tissues, paper towels or sanitary
napkins in the head.
