Engine Break-In Period
Engine Break-In Period
New engines require a period of break-in to allow the surfaces of the moving parts to
mate evenly. Different engines require different break-in periods and methods. For
instructions on break-in m
ethods, refer to your Yamaha Engine Owner’s Manual for the
correct break-in procedures and times for your model engines.
Engine Stop Switch
If activated, the spring-loaded engine stop switch
will automatically shut down the engine during
emergency situations to prevent uncontrolled or
unattended operation. Certain emergency
conditions (e.g., turbulent water, wakes,
unanticipated movement) may imp
air a person’s
ability to operate the craft safely. The switch, located
on the helm, must have the safety lanyard attached
at its base. This activates the protective shutdown
circuitry.
Securely attach the other end of the lanyard to the operator of the boat. If the operator
moves, falls or is at an unsafe distance from the steering wheel, tension on the lanyard
will pull it from the switch. When the lanyard is removed, the engine stop switch is
released and automatic engine shutdown occurs.
Engine Stop Switch
DANGER:
An engine stop switch system that is not used or does not function
properly can cause death or serious injury. DO NOT operate the boat if
the engine stop switch system does not function properly. Go to a
Cobia Dealer to have this resolved immediately.
The lanyard should be securely attached to the boat operator at all times that
the engine is on.
