Operating Information
CUDDY CABIN ACCESS
DOOR
The sliding cabin access door should not be open
when the boat is underway, since an open cabin
door can create a vacuum. Make sure the door is
secured when it is opened or closed, and do not
allow it to slide free.
WATER SYSTEM
If your Cobalt boat is equipped with a transom
shower (optional), the system allows for potable
(drinkable) water to be stored onboard for the
transom shower. Refer to Section 1,
Specifications, for the capacity of the water
system.
The system is operated by a 12 V DC water pump
located in the engine compartment. It is necessary
for the 12 V DC system to be energized and the
WATER PRESSURE switch to be turned on to
operate the water system. The water pump works
on demand. It will not automatically shut off when
the fresh water tank is empty.
To clean the water tank, refer to Section 6, Water
Systems.
Consult your authorized Cobalt dealer for
winterization requirements.
MARINE TOILET (HEAD) AND
MACERATOR - OPTIONAL
Instructions
Before operating the head for the first time, refer to
the marine toilet owner’s manual in your owner’s
packet.
The handle of the seacock (in the closed position)
may have to be removed, or disabling the system
by other means may be required to avoid a fine.
Manually Operated Head
1. Open the inlet water seacock.
2. Pump the floor pedal 2-4 times to fill the bowl
with water.
A DANGER
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, nausea, unconsciousness
and cherry red skin color are symptoms.
Avoid exposure to yourself and/or your
passengers to carbon monoxide. Check
the CO detectors before every outing
and keep the cabin door closed when
running the engine(s) or a generator.
Keep the cabin and cockpit areas well
ventilated and do not block exhaust
outlets.
NOTICE: Secure the door when
underway. Do not sit, stand or
place heavy objects on the door.
Unlock and remove the key to
avoid breaking, unless leaving
the boat. Do not use caustic
materials or a dry rag to clean
the door. Use only a mild soap
and water.
NOTICE: Overboard discharge
of waste water should only be
used in approved areas. It is
your responsibility to comply
with local regulations regarding
the discharge of waste. You
could be fined if your boat has
an operable overboard
discharge system.
