I just bought a 2018 WSS R7 Surf, but it did not come with an operators manual or checklists. Does anyone have a digital OM they can send me?

I have a 2019 but the controls changed somewhere around this time. Can you send a picture of your controls?

So glad you found us jz....

Sometimes your local Cobalt dealer can obtain these for you. Hopefully someone here can post one but being that the WSS is a rarer model, that might be tough.

Keep us posted.

And welcome aboard mate.

I saw this one as well, jmd. He has the WSS model and I believe he’s looking for ballast tank and surf operations in the manual. I was not able to find that for him.

Cobalt never put much regarding these systems in the main boat manuals, but p. 3-23 through 3-27 do discuss what he's looking for to some degree.
