Fuel-Water Separator
The Yamaha Fuel - Water Separators are installed behind the rear
access panel on the starboard transom side along with the fuel
system primer bulbs. The new, improved 10-micron filter provides
superior filtration ahead of the engine's onboard 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 high 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 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
the 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 8
of this Owner’s Manual for information on your
boats bilge system.
