Self-Bailing Cockpit
Self-Bailing Cockpit
The cockpit on the Cobia 240 DC is designed to be self-bailing, meaning that all the
water that comes into the cockpit will be directly drained overboard. This keeps the boat
from acquiring standing water and allows the boat to drain at all times, including while
the boat is docked. (Refer to Water Drain diagram, page 33).
Water drains out of the cockpit through two aft cockpit drains located at the far aft
cockpit floor on both the port and starboard sides. Each side drains overboard through
the side of the hull independently. None of this water is drained into the bilge. Refer to
page 11 for operation of the ball valve associated with this system. The bilge is designed
to drain any water entering the inside of the hull. All hoses are sealed and double
clamped during construction. Continuous or periodic running of the automatic bilge
pump may be an indication of a hose leak or break in a seal and should be investigated
by a Cobia Dealer immediately. Refer to page 10 for further information regarding bilge
pump operation and maintenance.
Anchor Locker
Anchor Locker/Rode Storage
The anchor locker is located at the bow of the boat and is accessible through the anchor
locker door or hatch. There is an eye mounted to the bow eye to secure your anchor rode
or chain to. After setting your anchor, the excess rode can remain stored in the locker.
DANGER:
Do not smoke while filling the tank. Be sure to turn off the engines
and all electrical equipment when fueling the boat to prevent
accidental discharges of static electricity. Use only the
recommended gasoline (see Yamaha Owner’s Manual). Do not
use fuels with alcohol or alcohol related derivatives that can
cause marine fuel system hoses to deteriorate.
