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.

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.
