ENGINE BREAK-IN PERIOD

Engine Break-In Period

New engines require a period of break-in to allow the 
surfaces of the moving parts to mate evenly. Different 
engines require different break-in periods and methods. 
For instructions on break in methods, refer to your 
Yamaha Engine Owner’s Manual for the correct break-in 
procedures and times for your model engines

Engine Stop Switch

If activated, the spring loaded engine stop switch will 
automatically shut down the engine during emergency 
situations to prevent uncontrolled or unattended 
operation. Certain emergency conditions (e.g., turbulent 
water, wakes, accidental shove) may impair a person’s 
ability to operate the craft safely. The switch, located on 
the helm, must have the safety lanyard attached at its 
base. This activates the protective shutdown circuitry. 

Securely attach the other end of the lanyard to the 
operator of the boat. If the operator moves, falls or is at 
an unsafe distance from the steering wheel, tension on 
the lanyard will pull it from the switch. When the lanyard is 
removed, the engine stop switch is released and 
automatic engine shutdown occurs.  

Engine Stop Switch

An engine stop switch system that is not used or does not function properly can cause death or serious injury. 

DO NOT operate the boat if the engine stop switch system does not function properly. Go to a Cobia Dealer to 
have this resolved immediately 

The lanyard should be securely attached to the boat operator at all times that the 

engine is on.
