Self-Bailing Cockpit & Livewell
Self-Bailing Cockpit
The cockpit on the Cobia 280 DC is designed to be self-bailing,
meaning that all the water that comes into the cockpit will be directly
drained overboard. This keeps the boat from acquiring standing
water and allows the boat to drain at all times, including while the
boat is docked. (Refer to Water Drain diagram, page 37).
Water drains into the fish boxes on either side of the rear deck space
and then drains overboard through the side of the hull independently. None of this
water is drained into the bilge. Refer to page 11 for operation of the ball valve associated
with this system.
The bilge is designed to drain any water entering the inside of the hull. All hoses are
sealed and double clamped during construction. Continuous or periodic running of the
automatic bilge pump may be an indication of a hose leak or break in a seal and should
be investigated by a Cobia Dealer immediately. Refer to page 10 for further information
regarding bilge pump operation and maintenance.
Livewell System
The livewell system, standard on your Cobia
280, is designed to keep your baitfish alive and
strong for as long as possible. This livewell
provides a cool, clean, and oxygenated
environment that allows you to keep your
baitfish alive for long periods of time. To
efficiently operate your livewell, the following
steps should be taken:
1.
Open livewell hatch.
2.
Install stand-up pipe snugly.
3.
Ensure livewell pump ball valve is in open position.
4.
