If the bilge pump fails to turn on, turn the battery switch to the OFF position, 

then  unhook  the  bilge  pump  from  its  cradle  by  pressing  the  locking  tab  and 

twist  motor  housing  counter-clockwise.  You  will  feel  the  pump  release  from 

the  cradle.  The  entire  bilge  pump  and wiring  should  release  from  the  cradle. 

After  removing  the  pump,  check  the  underside  and  impeller  areas  for 

miscellaneous items that might clog the pump. If any obstructions are present 

remove  the  debris  and  set  the  pump  back  into  the  cradle.  Once  set  back  in 

the cradle, press the pump down on the base then twist until the lock button 

snaps  it  into  place.  Once  this  is  completed  you  can  try  to  turn  the  pump  on 

again.  

 

If the bilge pump still does not turn on, it likely needs to be replaced. It is not 

recommended  to  use  your  boat  if  the  bilge  pump  and/or  float  switch  are  not 

functioning properly.  

 

To  get  to  the  forward  bilge  pump  you  must  disassemble  the  drawers 

underneath the bathroom sink.

B I L G E    

Bilge  

The bilge of your Cobia should always be checked before and after a launch. 

While  checking  the  bilge,  note  that  a  small  amount  of  water  in  the  bilge  is 

normal.  However,  a  large  amount  of  water  or  any  signs  of  fuel  or  oil  requires 

immediate attention. 

If such a situation exists, the boat should be taken to 

a  certified  marine  technician  immediately.  Never  pump  fuel  or  oil 

overboard while your boat is in the water.

  

 

Large quantities of water in the bilge may be an indication of a leak or that the 

bilge  pump  and/or  automatic  float  switch  is  not  functioning  properly  due  to  a 

jam, clog or electrical issue. The automatic float switch is wired to the hot side 

of  the  battery  switch  through  the  “BILGE”  fuse  at  the  battery  switch  panel. 

When  functioning  properly,  the  float  switch  activates  the  bilge  pump  to  pump 

water  overboard  once  water  in  the  bilge  reaches  a  level  that  submerges  the 

switch.  

 

If  your  bilge  pump  does  not  come  on  when  the  float  switch  is  submerged, 

attempt  to  manually  turn  on  the  bilge  pump  on  your  switch  panel.  If  the  bilge 

pump comes on and evacuates the water, it is likely that the float switch is not 

functioning properly. If the bilge pump does not come on via the switch panel, 

check  the  breaker  panel  inside  the  console  to  see  if  a  breaker  has  been 

tripped. If the breaker has been tripped, reset it, and turn the switch on again, 

listening for the bilge pump to turn on.
