CABINETRY AND WOOD
Cabinetry
Clean with any water-rinseable non-abrasive
cleaner.
Woodgrain Dash
Your Cobalt boat may be equipped with a
woodgrain dash, which will maintain its natural
beauty and high-gloss sheen when properly
maintained.
• For routine cleaning, wipe the surface with a
damp, soft cotton cloth. For thorough cleaning,
wash surface with a mild solution of soap and
water, and dry with a soft cotton cloth.
• Do not use cleaners or polishes containing
alcohol, ammonia, abrasives, oily emollients or
petroleum-based materials.
• Avoid saturating the surface with polish or wax.
In some instances, foam-backed tape used in
manufacturing will absorb and retain these
substances and result in premature fading
and/or discoloration of your woodgrain dash. If
cleaners or waxes come in contact with edges,
clean the surface immediately with a mild
solution of soap and water.
Teak Swim Platform
Your Cobalt boat may be equipped with a teak swim
platform. To keep teak in top condition, clean it
occasionally with a teak cleaner and re-oil it at least
once a season. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions and warnings carefully. Some cleaners
and oils may damage gelcoat, vinyl, stainless or
aluminum. Avoid using rust-producing steel wool
pads when cleaning. Materials can be purchased
from your authorized Cobalt dealer.
NOTICE: Teak sealers and
cleaners can be harmful to other
materials. Make sure you
thoroughly remove any spills or
excess. Teak should not be
varnished. The natural oils in
teak will cause poor adhesion.

Avoid fire or explosion onboard. DO
NOT store rags used to treat teak
onboard. Store or dispose of rags
properly ashore.
Cedar
Wipe surface with a dry cloth or a slightly damp
cloth. Do not seal or paint cedar.
CARPET
Vacuum the carpet on a regular basis. Use
household carpet stain removers and cleaners to
clean the carpet.
DECK AND HULL
The finish on your Cobalt boat is known as gelcoat.
The gelcoat used by Cobalt Boats is the finest
available on the market today. With all its
properties, it is not impervious to the elements and
many types of water conditions.
Cleaning Deck and Hull
A multi-purpose boat soap* should be used to
clean exterior fiberglass/gelcoat surfaces on your
Cobalt boat after each use. This product,
depending upon the ratio mixed, is designed to
clean anything from dirty hulls and decks to greasy
engines. Always rinse and wipe off the finish with a
damp towel or chamois.
A fiberglass restorer/wax* should be used to
remove heavy oxidation, characterized by a
chalk/faded surface as well as rust and exhaust
stains. This product will not only remove the
oxidation, but also leaves a wax protection on the
cleaned surface in one easy application.
