FUEL-WATER SEPARATOR & DRAIN 

Fuel/Water Separator (above)

Fuel-Water Separator

A Yamaha Fuel - Water Separator is installed 
between the fuel tank and engine on your 21 
Bay model. 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.

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 hight humidity where water in fuel supplies is a 

problem or extensive engine operation occurs, more frequent replacement may be necessary. 

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 to 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 
you 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.
