NFORMATION

WELCOME

Dear New Cobalt Owner,

From all of us at the factory and from your authorized Cobalt dealer, thank you for

purchasing a Cobalt boat. 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 boat, 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 authorized 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

boat.

All the best in boating,

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

CERTIFICATE OF LIMITED WARRANTY

Subject to the terms and conditions in this warranty, Cobalt Boats, LLC, a Delaware limited liability

corporation doing business as Cobalt Boats (“Cobalt”), warrants to the original retail purchaser (and any

subsequent owner) of a new Cobalt boat purchased from an authorized Cobalt dealer for personal,

non-racing and non-commercial use (“Owner”), as follows:

Ten (10) Year Limited Transferable Warranty on Hull and Deck. Cobalt warrants that the hull and deck

including floor, stringers, bulkheads, motor mounts, transom and deck/hull joints of a new Cobalt boat are

free from structural defects in material and workmanship under normal, non-racing and non-commercial use

for a period of (10) years from the date of delivery to the original retail purchaser.

Three (3) Year Limited Transferable Warranty on Gelcoat Finish, Upholstery, Canvas, Components

Not Separately Warranted by the Manufacturer and All Components Manufactured by Cobalt Other

Than the Hull and Deck. Cobalt warrants that the gelcoat finish, upholstery, canvas, components not

separately warranted by the manufacturers thereof and all components manufactured by Cobalt with respect

to a new Cobalt boat are free from structural defects in material and workmanship under normal, non-racing

and non-commercial use for a period of three (3) years from the date of delivery of such Cobalt boat to the

original retail purchaser. Because local area operating conditions and customer care have an effect on

gelcoat finishes, the gelcoat finish warranty does not include (1) damage or deterioration (i.e.: fading,

oxidation, discoloration) due to in-water storage or improper care of the gelcoat surface; or (2) deterioration

(i.e.: fading, oxidation, discoloration) to the gelcoat finish of any Cobalt boat with colored (non-white) gelcoat

located below the static waterline.

THERE ARE NO EXPRESS WARRANTIES OTHER THAN THE ABOVE LIMITED EXPRESS

WARRANTIES. IN THE EVENT ANY LAW DOES NOT PERMIT THE DISCLAIMER OF ANY IMPLIED

WARRANTY, THEN IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED

WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR PARTICULAR PURPOSE, EXTEND

BEYOND THE DURATION OF THESE EXPRESS WRITTEN WARRANTIES.

Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not

apply to you.

Exclusions. The above described limited warranties do not apply if such Cobalt boat has been used at any

time commercially, industrially, for racing or other competition or for revenue producing purposes, and also

do not apply to: (1) engines, outdrives, propellers, controls, batteries, or other equipment or accessories

which are separately warranted by the manufacturers thereof; (2) engines, outdrives, propellers, controls,

trailers, equipment or accessories installed by persons or parties other than Cobalt or an authorized Cobalt

dealer; (3) windshield leakage, rainwater leakage, windshield or window damage or breakage; (4)

deterioration or damage, fading or shrinkage of upholstery, carpet or canvas; (5) damage related to the

alteration or modification of such Cobalt boat with any structurally affecting addition, component or

accessory not specifically in accordance with Cobalt’s specifications or offered as an option by Cobalt; (6)

damage, deterioration (i.e.: fading, oxidation, corrosion) of surface finishes, vinyls, fabrics, aluminum and

stainless steel finishes; (7) damage or failures caused by operation of the Cobalt boat outside of the

maximum horsepower specifications recommended by Cobalt; (8) damage or failure related to repairs made

by any service provider not approved by Cobalt; (9) damage (i.e.: scratches, fading, oxidation, discoloration)

to the gelcoat finish; (10) deterioration (i.e.: fading, oxidation, discoloration) to the gelcoat finish of any

Cobalt boat with colored (non-white) gelcoat located below the static waterline; (11) damage or failure

related to alteration, modification, misuse, neglect, negligence, accident or failure to provide reasonable care

and maintenance of such Cobalt boat.
