FUEL-WATER SEPARATOR & DRAIN PLUG
Fuel-Water Separator
A Yamaha Fuel - Water Separator is installed
between the fuel tank and engine on your 217
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.
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.
