Fuel/Water Separator (above)
Fuel-Water Separator
Two Yamaha Fuel - Water Separators are installed
between the fuel tank and engine on your 280 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.
Refer to page 13 for the Fuel system diagram.
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 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 9
of this
Owner’s Manual for information on your boat’s bilge
system.
