FUEL-WATER SEPARATOR & DRAIN PLUG
Fuel/Water Separator
Fuel-Water Separator
A Yamaha Fuel - Water Separator is installed behind
the aft seat assembly. Simply lift up the seat and you
will be able to easily access the Fuel-Water
separator. The new, improved 10-micron filter
provides superior filtration ahead of the engine's on-
board filters and injectors. Large filtering and water
capture areas maximize filtration while maintaining
adequate flow rate for larger engines. The fuel
separator can be checked by removing it from the
mounting bracket and dumping it into an approved
waste collection device. If there appears to be an
excessive amount of water, the filter component
should be replaced. See your authorized Cobia
Dealer for replacement parts.
Maintenance Note
Yamaha recommends replacing the 10- micron fuel filter on new boats after the first 10 hours or 1 month of
operation and every 50 hours or every 6 months thereafter.
In areas of hight humidity where water in fuel supplies is a
problem or extensive engine operation occurs, more frequent replacement may be necessary.
Garboard Drain Plug
The garboard drain plug is the small metal plug located at
the lowest point on the hull, at the bottom of the transom
right above the keel. The drain has been designed to so
that it can be loosened by hand while the hull is out of the
water for draining. This allows the plug to stay in contact
with the surrounding frame so you’ll never misplace or
lose it. You can completely remove the insert by pulling
back and continue turning in a counter clockwise motion.
It is manufactured with a rubber seal in place to ensure
you bilge is watertight. Always make sure before putting
the boat in the water that this plug is hand tightened
firmly. Excess water in the bilge may be an indication of a
problem with this plug or the automatic bilge pump. Refer
to page 7
of this Owner’s Manual for information on your
boats bilge system.
