Fuel-Water Separator &
Drain
Fuel-Water Separator
A Yamaha Fuel-Water Separator is installed between the fuel
tank and engine on your 201 model. 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.
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 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 your 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.
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 high humidity where water in fuel supplies is a problem or
extensive engine operation occurs, more frequent replacement
may be necessary.
