Included with your owner's packet is your engine manual(s). This manual was prepared
by the engine manufacturer and contains information concerning the operation and care
of your engine. Please read this manual thoroughly and become acquainted with this
information.
It is advisable to maintain a service log to record service checks, such as oil changes, so
you can determine when it's time for servicing. A maintenance log is also required
when requesting warranty using the extended warranty supplied with your new Cobalt.

Store your Cobalt with the bow slightly elevated; i.e., the same attitude as if the boat
were floating at rest. Remove the transom drain plug. If the boat is stored with the bow
down, moisture will not be able to move to the engine bilge area and out of the boat.
Mold and mildew may form as a result of the inability of moisture to escape. Store all
bow cushions in the open position and open all storage areas.
The 202CS and203CS ski boats have an additional hull drain below the engine which
should be removed for storage. It has a large "T" handle on it for easy operation.
Preparing for winter lay up is important. In frigid zones, be particularly attentive to
items that can be damaged by freezing. Freeze damage is not covered by warranty.
