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.

We cannot stress enough, the importance of reading your engine manual(s) and
following the manufacturer's instructions for breaking-in your engine(s).

FF EASON
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.
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.
