Dear New Cobalt Owner,
From all of us at the factory and from your Cobalt Dealer, thank you for purchasing a
Cobalt. We greatly appreciate your business and look forward to a long and enjoyable
relationship with you as part of the Cobalt family.
This manual is designed to help you maximize the enjoyment of your Cobalt boat, and
to acquaint you with proper operation, care, storage, and maintenance of your
investment.
Even if you're a seasoned boater and have previously owned a Cobalt, I recommend you
take time to read through this Owner's manual. As you read this manual, please
remember that "common sense" and "courtesy" are the most valuable traits you can
have to fully enjoy safe boating. It is also to your personal advantage to become well
acquainted with the rules and general "know how" of boating.
For service and for assistance contact your Cobalt dealer. The dealership staff will be
happy to answer questions concerning maintenance, warranty, or any other operational
questions you may have about your Cobalt.
All the best in boating,
Pack St. Clair, Chairman and C.E.O.
