MAINTENANCE & CLEANING

Maintenance

Cobia advises owners that maintenance and repairs should be performed at an authorized Cobia dealer. The following information is general in nature and should not be considered a repair manual or guidelines set forth by Maverick Boat

Company.

Cleaning

Each Maverick boat is constructed using the finest materials and components available. However, no material is immune to the ravages of the saltwater environment. After each use, your boat should be rinsed thoroughly with fresh water To clean the cushions, use only a damp cloth. Never hose down or saturate the cushions. A mild detergent may also be used to remove any dirt, silt or stains. A light coat of lubricant on metal railing, screws and electrical connections will help prevent electrolysis. The same holds true for your trailer.

ENGINE BREAK-IN

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, unanticipated movement) 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 (above)

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.

HELM AND COMMAND LINK GAUGES

Switch Panel & Helm

At the helm of your Cobia, you have a main switch panel, which is located to the left of the steering wheel.

This panel controls your lights, horn, accessories, livewell, and your bilge. When a switch is in the “on” position, its tip is illuminated. This alerts you that the associated accessory should be functioning and also reminds you to turn it off during boat shutdown. When the “NAV” light switch is in the “on” position, the labels for the switches will be illuminated. To the right of the steering wheel you have your two trim tab switches

(Refer to page 23 for trim tab operation.) The boat also comes standard with a compass mounted on top of the console.

FUEL-WATER SEPARATOR & DRAIN

Fuel-Water Separator

A Yamaha Fuel - Water Separator is installed behind the aft seat assembly. Simply lift up the seat and you will be able to easily access the Fuel-Water separator. 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.

Fuel/Water Separator

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. Refer to page 7 of this Owner’s Manual for information on your boats bilge system.

BILGE

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 clear 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.

Automatic Float Switch

Bilge Pump

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.

SYSTEMS

Ball Valves

Ball valves can be used to serve several purposes. They allow seawater to enter the boat, in the case of livewells, and they also act as a safeguard to stop water from entering. To tell which position a ball valve is in, open or closed, look at the valve and determine the direction of flow. When the ball valve handle is in the same position as the direction of flow, the valve is in the “OPEN” position. When the ball valve handle appears to cross the direction of flow, the valve is in the “CLOSED” position.

The ball valves can be accessed in the bilge compartment behind the aft seating.

237 Deckdrain System

The deckdrain system is equipped with 1 1/2” thru hull fittings through the aft port and starboard hull sides.

These fittings have to be installed lower than the drains in the cockpit floor so that gravity will allow the cockpit to drain free of water. This puts these fittings very close to the water line of the hull. These drains are rigged with ball valves that can be opened and closed to control the flow of water. In the open position, these ball valves will allow water to flow freely from the cockpit, thus making the boat

“self-bailing”. When closed, no water will be allowed to travel to or from the cockpit.

Water Flow

237 Livewell Pump Assembly

The livewell pump assembly is composed of a scoop strainer mounted to the bottom of the hull, a thru hull fitting, ball valve assembly, and the pump. As you can see, the ball valve assembly is in the “OPEN” position.

This is the correct position for the operation of the livewell system.

COCKPIT COURTESY

Cockpit Courtesy Lights

The cockpit comes equipped with three L.E.D. courtesy lights installed at the factory. These lights illuminate the entire cockpit and are controlled by the switch panel. The switch labeled “COCKPIT LTS” controls the courtesy lights. The courtesy lights are mounted beneath the port and starboard gunnels as well as at the bow, aft of the anchor locker.

Diagram of the LED Cockpit Courtesy Lights

Battery Switch

The switch is located at the aft starboard cockpit. On a single battery system, your battery is wired to the number 1 side of the switch. On the optional dual battery setup, one battery is wired to the number one position while the second battery is wired to the number 2 side of the switch. The operator can choose which battery to utilize by the selection on the switch. The only time the switch should be in the “1 & 2” position is if one battery will not start the engine. Then, switch to “1 & 2” and have two batteries start the engine.

LADDER AND PROPS

Stainless Boarding Ladder

This Cobia model comes standard with a telescoping stainless steel boarding ladder integrated into the port aft platform area.

This provides a stepping area while the ladder is in the up position as shown below. Once the ladder is down and in the extended position, close the lid cover for safe and secure entry and exit via the ladder.

No passenger should attempt to enter or exit the boat by the ladder or by any other means while the engine is on.

Props

Prop selection on your Cobia is determined by your local

Cobia Dealer, but all props are based on recommendations from Cobia Boat Company and Yamaha Marine in order to give your boat maximum overall performance. The needs of your prop will determine the prop design and size that best fits your performance requirements.

Always inspect the engine and prop prior to launching your boat with the engine off. Key prop issues include tangled fishing line or other types of debris, cracked blades or fluid leaking out of the seal. Look for fishing line tangled around the prop or lower unit seal. Consult your Yamaha’s

Owner’s Manual to address these issues.

FUEL SYSTEM

FUEL SYSTEM

This Cobia comes equipped with a 120-gallon fuel cell stationed below the leaning post between the stringer system. The fuel fill receptacle is on the port gunnel. Every fuel tank is pressure tested at the factory before and after installation. Should you experience any fuel related problems or suspect problems with the fuel system, immediately take your boat to a Cobia Dealer.

CAUTION—Do not smoke while filling the tank. Be sure to turn off the engines and all electrical equipment when fueling the boat to prevent accidental discharges of static electricity. Use only the recommended gasoline (see Yamaha’s Owner’s Manual). Do not use fuels with alcohol or alcohol related derivatives that can cause marine fuel system hoses to deteriorate.

SELF-BAILING COCKPIT & LIVEWELL

Self Bailing Cockpit

The cockpit 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.

Water drains out of the cockpit through two aft cockpit drains located at the far aft cockpit floor on both the port and starboard sides. Each side drains overboard through the side of the hull independently. None of this water is drained into the bilge. Refer to page 8 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

9 for further information regarding bilge pump operation and maintenance.

Livewell System

The livewell system is designed to keep your baitfish alive and strong for as long as possible. This 28 gallon 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

1.

Open livewell hatch.

2.

Install stand-up pipe snugly.

3.

Ensure livewell pump ball valve is in open

position.

4.

Turn on livewell switch.

The livewell operates by pumping fresh seawater from the pump through an aerator head into the livewell. Drainage is achieved through the grate on the top of the standpipe, which, when unobstructed, will limit the water level to the standpipe’s highest point. A shorter standpipe can be used to keep less water in the well. This constant drainage keeps up water flow and allows for the removal of ammonia from the livewell, therefore extending the life of your baitfish. To drain the livewell, switch off the pump, close pump ball valve, and remove standpipe.

ANCHOR LOCKER/PHENOLIC PLATES

Anchor Locker/Rode Storage

The anchor locker is located at the bow of the boat and is accessible through the anchor locker door or hatch (photo below). There is an eye mounted to the bow eye to secure your anchor rode or chain to. After setting your anchor, the excess rode can remain stored in the locker. The notch supplied in the door allows you to securely close the locker by aligning your rode through the notch.

TRIM TABS

Trim Tabs

Trim Tabs are standard on your new Cobia. Integrated electric trim tabs can enhance the performance of your boat.

The tabs are electric and therefore do not require a trim tab pump. By not having a pump there is no possibility of fluid leaks from a pump.

Trim tabs allow for maximum boat performance, and are great for balancing weight in the boat. They also allow the boat operator to lift or lower the hull to accommodate for different running situations.

For the operation of trim tabs note that the port trim tab switch will affect the port side of the boat, and the starboard switch will affect the starboard side. To lower a particular side, press the top of the corresponding switch down.

Pressing the top of both switches down will lower the bow evenly. To raise the bow, press the bottom of the corresponding switch.

AFT SEAT AND GAS SHOCKS

Aft Seat and Bilge Access

Accessing the bilge in the 237 is made easy in a few brief steps. To access the compartment disengage the latch and lift the entire back panel up so that the compartment is revealed behind the seat. This compartment holds the bilge and other important features. With this effortless accessibility comes peace of mind on the water because in case of an emergency, the ball valves can be easily located without straining to find them. Maintenance and servicing also become easier with this spacious work area.

Latch

Gas Shocks

Located on the aft seating is a gas shock that insures that the entranceway is safe and secure in choppy waters. Once open all the way, the shock locks into place and can only be released by pushing up on the metal slide that covers the shock.

Before closing, make sure to disengage the catch on the supporting gas shock. Failure to do so will break the gas shock.

The fresh water tank on your new Cobia can be filled at the cap labeled “FRESH WATER”, on the back starboard corner near the transom. The hose nozzle is on the port aft bulkhead. To pressurize the system, flip the switch labeled

“FRESHWATER” on the switch panel at the helm. You can leave this switch in the ON position while the boat is in use. The pump has an internal pressure switch that allows the pump to turn on and off as needed.

In the colder months of the year, it’s advisable to drain the fresh water system and winterize by adding a non-toxic antifreeze to the system. Run the antifreeze through the system by opening up the spray in the shower nozzle until antifreeze is delivered through the nozzle.

OPTIONAL FEATURES

Optional Windlass Deluxe

The windlass is used to lower and raise your anchor assembly. The switch is mounted at the helm station above to the right of the steering wheel. The solenoid switch is mounted to aft hull and the battery cables are run up the starboard side. The windlass is mounted inside the anchor locker at the bow of the boat. To access this area, lift the anchor hatch at the bow. A bow plate and anchor roller has been added to accept the anchor and keep it far enough from the bow of your 237CC to prevent damage to the bow. The windlass is mounted just aft of the bow roller plate.

**WARNING: READ ALL OF THE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE OPERATING THE WINDLASS

OPTIONAL

Optional Salt Water Washdown

Salt-water washdown is an option on your new Cobia. The pump is located in the bilge forward of the livewell pump and is accessible through the splashwell hatch or the aft port hatch. To operate, hook a hose to the raw water receptacle in the aft section of the rod locker. Flip the switch labeled “Saltwater”. The pump will pressurize the system with raw water. Once the system is pressurized, the pump will shut itself off with an internal pressure switch and will switch itself back on as you demand water. Be careful to only spray gel-coated fiberglass surfaces with saltwater and avoid all other areas. Always rinse your boat with freshwater as soon as you return to the dock or home if the boat is being trailered.

Waste System

A portable head unit is an option for your new Cobia. The instruction manual can be found in the Cobia duffel bag and basic operating instructions are listed on pages 22-24.

The optional head pump out fitting is located on the starboard side of the console. With this option, waste can be removed at an approved dumping station without removing the tank from the head.

Warranty

Cobia Boats are NMMA

Certified and offer superior

SeaTech “no wood” construction. All Cobias are backed by a no-nonsense, 10year limited warranty.

Cobia Boats advises owners that an authorized Cobia dealer perform maintenance and repairs on your boat. Self repairs and repairs done by a non- authorized Cobia dealer may void the warranty on the boat.

The following information is general in nature and should not be considered a repair manual or guidelines set forth by Cobia

Boat Company.

Cleaning: Each Cobia Boat is constructed using the finest material and components available. However, no material is immune to the ravages of the saltwater environment. After each use, your boat should be rinsed thoroughly with fresh water. A mild detergent may also be used to remove any dirt, silt or stains. To clean the cushions, use only a damp cloth. Never hose down or saturate the cushions. A light coat of lubricants on metal railing, screws, and electrical connections will help prevent electrolysis. The same holds true for your trailer.
