Fuel-Water Separator & Drain
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 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. Refer to the Water
Drain System diagram on page 37.

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.
