Dear New Cobalt Owner,

From all of us at the factory and from your Cobalt Dealer, thank you for purchasing a

Cobalt. We greatly appreciate your business and look forward to a long and enjoyable

relationship with you as part of the Cobalt family.

This manual is designed to help you maximize the enjoyment of your Cobalt boat, and

to acquaint you with proper operation, care, storage, and maintenance of your

investment.

Even if you’re a seasoned boater and have previously owned a Cobalt, I recommend you

take time to read through this Owner’s manual. As you read this manual, please

remember that “common sense” and “courtesy” are the most valuable traits you can

have to fully enjoy safe boating. It is also to your personal advantage to become well

acquainted with the rules and general “know how” of boating.

For service and for assistance contact your Cobalt dealer. The dealership staff will be

happy to answer questions concerning maintenance, warranty, or any other operational

questions you may have about your Cobalt.

All the best in boating,

Pack St. Clair, Chairman and C.E.O.

WEWISH YOU SAFE AND HAPPY BOATING!

The American Boat and Yacht Council, Inc. is an independent organization dedicated to

developing and maintaining the highest level of marine equipment safety standards for

U.S. boat manufacturers. Working closely with the U.S. Coast Guard and other

authorities, the A.B.Y.C. reviews marine equipment and systems, including electrical

systems, ventilation, steering, flotation, load capacity, fuel systems, and others that may

have impact on your safety.

The National Marine Manufacturers Association is an independent organization involved

in a wide range of activities aimed toward the promotion and improvement of all aspects

of boating. Members include manufacturers of boats, engines, and marine equipment of

all types.

One division of the N.M.M.A. provides an inspection and certification program to

members. Inspections are performed to the rigid and detailed standards of the A.B.Y.C.

and certification requires compliance with all applicable standards and

recommendations.

Every Cobalt is built to meet or exceed all applicable standards of these organizations at

the time of manufacture. Each model is inspected and certified prior to introduction, and

periodic inspections of the entire model line are conducted in-plant to insure continued

compliance.

COBALT WARRANTY

Ten-year limited transferable warranty on hull and deck structure, two-year limited

transferable warranty on other component parts.

Cobalt Boats warrants the hull and deck, including floor, stringers, motor mounts,

transom and deck/hull joints, of each new Cobalt boat to be free from structural defects

in material and workmanship under normal recommended use for a period of ten (10)

years from the date of delivery to the original retail purchaser.

Cobalt Boats warrants the gelcoat finish, upholstery, components not having their own

warranty and all components manufactured by Cobalt Boats,other than the hull and deck,

of each new Cobalt boat to be free from structural defects in material and workmanship

under normal recommended use for a period of two (2) years from the date of delivery to

the original retail purchaser.

This warranty does not apply to (1) engines, outdrives, controls, batteries, or other

equipment or accessories which are separately warranted by the manufacturers thereof

(appropriate adjustments therefore being provided by the respective manufacturer); (2)

engines or accessories installed by persons or parties other than Cobalt Boats; (3)

windshield leakage, upholstery damage, carpet damage and gelcoat damage; and (4) any

Cobalt boat which has been altered, subject to misuse, negligence or accident, or used for

racing or commercial purposes.

The rights and benefits granted under this warranty to the original retail purchaser of a

new Cobalt boat shall extend to any owner of such Cobalt boat during the applicable

warranty period, commencing with the date of delivery to the original retail purchaser, as

set forth herein, provided this warranty is validated by such owner, as set forth herein. In

no event shall the owner of any Cobalt boat, covered by this warranty, have any rights or

benefits under this warranty which are greater than the rights and benefits which would

have been available under this warranty to the original retail purchaser of such Cobalt

boat had the original retail purchaser remained the owner of such Cobalt boat.

Cobalt Boats shall not be liable for special or consequential damages, such as, but not

limited to, damages for cost of replacement goods, or damages for claims of third parties

against the purchaser, or damages for loss of profits.

To validate this warranty, the original retail purchaser must return the warranty

registration card to Cobalt Boats within ten (10) days after purchase of any new Cobalt

boat covered by this warranty, and any subsequent owner of a Cobalt boat during the

applicable warranty period must give written notice of acquisition of a Cobalt boat to

Cobalt Boats within ten (10) days after such purchase.

Notification of any warranty claim, arising within the applicable warranty period, as set

forth above, must be made in writing by the owner of the Cobalt boat or by an authorized

Cobalt Boats dealer to Cobalt Boats within thirty (30) days after the discovery of the

alleged basis for any warranty claim.

During the applicable warranty period, as set forth above, warranty repairs shall be

made without charge by an authorized Cobalt Boats dealer or, at the option of Cobalt

Boats, by Cobalt Boats at its plant in Neodesha, Kansas. All warranty repairs shall be

subject to the authorization of factory-trained personnel of Cobalt Boats, whose decision

will be final. Transportation to and from an authorized Cobalt Boats dealer, and/or to

and from the Cobalt Boats plant in Neodesha, Kansas, for warranty repairs, shall be at

the owners’ expense.

In no event shall the liability of Cobalt Boats under this warranty exceed the purchase

price of the specific item or items to which this warranty relates.

This warranty constitutes the only express warranty covering a new Cobalt boat. Any

implied warranty, which may be determined to pertain to any component of a new Cobalt

boat, is limited to ten (10) years on the hull and deck structure, and limited to two (2)

years on all other component parts covered by the express warranty as set forth above,

except in those states which have other limitations on the duration of an implied warranty.

BEFORE OPERATING

Before operating your new Cobalt, it is necessary you read and understand this manual.

Also, take the time to read the other manuals supplied to you by your dealer.

WARRANTY SERVICE REQUIREMENTS

All Cobalt warranty service must be completed by an authorized Cobalt dealer. If you

are not able to return your boat to your selling dealership, you must contact him so he

may assist you in coordinating the warranty repairs. Any claims against Cobalt Boats

without prior approval from Cobalt Boats on repairs completed by a non-authorized

dealership may be denied.

EXTENDED POWERTRAIN WARRANTY

Your Cobalt warranty includes an Extended Limited Powertrain Warranty. Your dealer

submitted the necessary forms to implement this warranty. Please read the extended

warranty manual supplied to you by Passport Premiere.

It is important you have your Cobalt serviced per the engine manufacturer’s

recommended instructions. You must keep, in your possession, records of all service

performed should the extended powertrain warranty be needed. This is to prove the

required maintenance has been performed.

If you have any questions referencing your Extended Powertrain Warranty, please

contact your Cobalt dealer.

IFYOU SELL YOUR COBALT

Your warranties are transferable. If you sell your Cobalt to anyone other than an

authorized Cobalt dealer, please call Cobalt Boats for the appropriate warranty transfer

followed, future warranty may be denied.
