272 Owner’s Manual

PERATING

NFORMATION

Navigational Lights - You must use your
navigational lights (running lights) when operating
your Cobalt boat between sunset and sunrise, and
when day time visibility is limited. Also, check with
the local authorities before operating your boat for
other requirements concerning the use of
navigational lights.

The navigational lights are identified by a red light
on the port side of the vessel, and a green light on
the starboard side.

Anchor/Mooring Light - All boats at anchor or
moored must display a proper white anchor light.

The anchor light (all around light) is the white light
located aft of the cockpit. The anchor light must be
visible from 360° and will remain on when operating
the navigational lights.

13. CAPT CALL (Captain’s Call) Optional -

This

switch determines the routing of the engine
exhaust. In the ON position, engine exhaust is
routed through the thru-hull pipes. This position
produces the most engine power, but is not
acceptable near shore or on inland lakes and rivers.

In the OFF position, engine exhaust is routed
through the hub of the propeller. This position
releases the exhaust underwater providing a
quieter engine sound.

Be sure to check local regulations regarding noise
restrictions before operating this system.

14. ENGINE HATCH -

This switch operates the

electric motor box assembly. Do not continue to
operate the switch when the motor box is closed or
fully open. Lower the motor box support after the
motor box is opened. Be sure to return the support
to its stowed position before lowering the box.

15. BILGE PUMP -

This switch manually controls

the bilge pump.

provides remote control of the stereo system from
the helm.

17. DOCKING LIGHTS (Optional) -

Docking lights are to be used for docking only. It is
illegal to use your docking lights while cruising.

20. ACCESSORY/OPTIONAL MACERATOR -

21. BILGE BLOWER -

This switch activates the

engine compartment ventilation blower to remove
explosive fumes from the area. The blower must be
operated for a minimum of four minutes each time
before starting the engines or generator. In
addition, the blower should be operated
continuously when at idle or running at slow
speeds.

22. CIRCUIT BREAKERS -

These are the breakers

for helm labeled protected device. These breakers
will activate if overloaded and cut power to the
switch. To restore power, turn off the device, push
the breaker button in and release. If the button
continues to pop out when the device is used, see
your authorized Cobalt dealer. Your boat may not
be equipped with all of these features or options.

23. 12-VOLT ACCESSORY POWER
RECEPTACLE -

Your Cobalt boat is equipped with

a 12-volt accessory power receptacle. The
receptacle provides electricity to operate 12V DC
accessory items. Limit the accessory to 10 Amps.

24. IGNITION -

Each engine has its separate

ignition switch. In dual-engine applications, the left
switch is for the port engine, and the right switch is
for the starboard engine.

CAUTION

Avoid damage to the exhaust system.
Do not switch the exhaust above 3,000
RPM.
