BATTERY SWITCH
The dual battery switch provides isolation and
positive disconnect from the batteries to protect
against tampering, electrical fire hazards and
battery rundown. The switch should be in the ON
position rather than the COMBINE BATTERIES
position. This will keep one battery in reserve
should the other fail. You can operate the boat with
the switch in the COMBINE BATTERIES position,
but this is not recommended for extended periods.
In the OFF position, the boat will be isolated from
the batteries except for the automatic bilge pump.
NOTICE: The purpose of dual
batteries is to keep one as a
spare. In the COMBINE
BATTERIES position, one larger
battery is essentially formed. If a
failure should occur with the
electrical systems or either
battery, both batteries will end up
discharged.
NOTICE: On dual battery
installations, there is an ACR
installed that will allow the engine
to charge the second battery.

RELAY (ACR)
The automatic charging relay (ACR) automatically
combines the batteries when the engine is running.
It also isolates the batteries when discharging to
prevent the starting battery from discharging while
using the house battery when the engine is off. The
ACR has the following features:
• 120 amp continuous rating
• 12/24V DC auto ranging voltage input
• Senses charging on two battery banks
• Side and bottom knockouts for cable
connections
• Clip-on cover insulates terminal connections
• Integrated LED indicates ACR status
• Waterproof – rated IP67 for temporary
immersion
WATER SYSTEM
If your Cobalt boat is equipped with a transom
shower, galley sink, icemaker, etc. (optional), the
system allows for potable (drinkable) water to be
stored onboard. Refer to Section 1,
Specifications, for the capacity of the water
system.
As standard procedure, the water system is
winterized from the factory and water is
non-potable. DO NOT DRINK. The system must be
cleaned and disinfected before the first use.
The system is operated by a 12V DC water pump
located in the engine compartment. It is necessary
for the 12V DC system to be energized and the
WATER PRESSURE switch to be turned on to
operate the water system. The water pump works
on demand. It will not automatically shut off when
the freshwater tank is empty.
