The GPS system in your Cobalt performs many functions. The system can precisely tell
you your location, form a trip record, a speed log, and many other functions. In
addition, individual mapping chips can be purchased through your Cobalt dealer for
most lakes, rivers, and coastal areas of the United States and Canada. Please consult
your Cobalt dealer for further information referencing these chips. Take some time to
thoroughly read and understand the manuals supplied with your GPS to take advantage
of the system to it's fullest capability.

ENERAL
Nothing is more important to the proper performance of your boat than the condition of
the propeller(s). Even minor damage (often invisible to the naked eye) can adversely
affect the boat's performance. Common symptoms of damage to propellers are a sudden
drop in RPM, vibration or sudden loss of speed.
A propeller is measured by two dimensions: 1) the diameter; and, 2) the pitch. The
diameter is determined by measuring the distance from the center of the propeller to the
tip of one blade and multiplying that figure by two. Pitch is expressed in the number of
inches a prop will advance in a solid medium in one revolution.
Operational characteristics of your boat, including its speed, may change due to several
factors: atmospheric conditions; additions of extra equipment and accessories or
passengers; marine growth on the bottom; and, engine condition. Other factors include
damage to the prop(s), tides, water temperature and direction of wind. Some of these
factors are directly correctable by repair or maintenance. Others are beyond human
control.
