NFORMATION
Handling Dock and Mooring Lines
Be sure to use enough fenders to protect your boat
from damage. Only use good quality,
double-braided nylon line. Protect your boat’s finish
by using chafing protectors on the lines. Only use
the cleats, bow eye and stern eyes to secure your
boat. Do not use the handrails or windshield. The
foredeck handrails should only be used for tying a
“Jackline” in an emergency situation. If possible, tie
up your boat with the bow toward the waves and
leave a little slack in the lines to allow for some
wave movement or tidal action.
1 – Stern Line
2 – Forward Quarter Spring
3 – After Bow Spring
4 – Bow Line
Use your dock lines to help maneuver the boat near
the pier and to secure it. Use the following
information to secure your boat to a pile or dock
cleat:
The bow line is fastened to the bow cleat and is
pulled forward at about a 45° angle. This line keeps
the boat from moving astern.
The stern line is fastened to an after cleat and
pulled astern at about a 45° angle. This line keeps
the boat from moving forward.
The spring lines can help you control the boat when
leaving a dock. Be sure to use spring lines when
boating in waters where the tide movement is
significant. The forward quarter spring line is
fastened to a forward cleat and heads aft. The after
bow spring is fastened to a stern cleat and heads
forward.
Starting/Shifting/Steering/Stopping
Your Cobalt boat may be 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 engine.
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
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 passengers and
yourself to carbon monoxide. Test the CO 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 CO detector. The
detectors are 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.
