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 Group.

Cleaning

Each Cobia 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. Refer to page 40 for upholstery care and cleaning instructions. A light coat of lubricant on metal railing, screws and electrical connections will help prevent electrolysis. The same holds true for your trailer.




7

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 breakin 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.

Engine Stop Switch

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.

DANGER:

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 & 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

Switch Panel 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. The boat also comes standard with a compass mounted on top of the console.

Compass

Command Link Gauges

Yamaha’s new 6YC Command Link gauge comes standard on your new Cobia. This gauge allows access to more information and is user-selectable so you can choose the functions displayed. Speed data can be displayed from a pitot tube, Triducer, or

NMEA protocol G PS unit. To learn the gauge’s full functionality, refer to your Yamaha engine owner’s manual located in the Cobia Duffel Bag.

Yamaha Command Link Gauge

Cobia Duffel Bag

Along with your boat, you received a Duffel Bag with your new Cobia. Inside the Duffel

Bag are the following items: o Large Livewell Standpipe o Short Livewell Standpipe o 1.5” Livewell Pacifier Plug o 2 ignition Keys and Emergency Kill Cord /Engine Stop Lanyard o Engine Start Cord o Various Accessories Manuals

Fuel-Water Separator & Drain

Fuel-Water Separator

A Yamaha Fuel-Water Separator is installed behind the rear seat assembly. Simply locate the controls for the electronic lift assist, labeled “Hatch”, mounted on the starboard side of the tackle station directly across from the gunwale, and you will be able to easily access the Fuel-Water separator. The new, improved 10micron 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

Fuel-Water Separator 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 high 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 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

Drain Plug 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 your 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 Water Drain System diagram, page 36).




10

Bilge

Bilge Access

First, locate the controls on the electronic lift assist, labeled “Hatch”, mounted on the starboard side of the tackle station directly across from the gunwale. Next, press and hold the top button on the controls. This will cause the rear access to lift revealing the bilge access. To lower the hatch simply press and hold the bottom button on the control panel until the aft section is fully closed. Remember that the electronic lift assist operates using the house battery system.

Note: The aft seat backrest must be removed to fully open the hatch.

Failure to remove the backrest will result in damage to the backrest and possibly the hatch lifting mechanism.

In the event that the boat does not have power to electronically lift the hatch, the electronic lift can be disengaged by lowering the bench seat and using the access opening shown below to remove the pin from the electronic ram. Keep in mind that at this point the hatch will no longer be supported in the up position and will require being held up to maintain access to the bilge. Once the work in the bilge is finished and power is restored to the hatch lift, it is important to attach the ram to the hatch with the pin once again to secure the door in the closed position.

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.

Bilge Pump and Float Switch

One Standard or Two Optional

If the bilge pump does not come on when the float switch is submerged, attempt to manually turn it on through 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.

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.




12

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.

320 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 .

320 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.




13

Battery Switch and Main Distribution

Panel

The battery switches and main distribution panel are located in the port compartment on the side of the leaning post. The battery switches are labeled to correspond with each battery and the component it powers. Each engine has its own battery and there is a house battery that powers the boat’s other electrical systems. In the event that there is a second house battery on board, this battery will be tied to the house battery switch. The

“emergency parallel” switch parallels the two cranking batteries and should only be used to crank the engines if one of the engine cranking batteries does not have sufficient power to crank its associated engine. When the boat is not being used for a prolonged period, it is recommended to leave all battery switches in the “off” position to ensure that the batteries are not drained due to minor current flows.

The forward and aft bilge pumps and stereo memory breakers, located at the top right of the panel, are on 24-hour circuits and will receive power at all times even with the house battery switch in the off position. This ensures that the bilge pumps and float switches will remain operational at all times unless the house battery loses all power.

There is an additional 24-hour circuit with a 15-amp breaker labeled “ACC” left open for adding an accessory appropriate to 24-hour operation. To reset any of these breakers simply push in the button associated with the involved component.

Directly below the 24hour “ACC” breaker is the windlass breaker. This is a gate style breaker. When the circuit is open or the breaker is “popped”, a yellow tab will show in the recess just below the bar with the red button. Simply push the free end of the yellow tab back up inside the bar until it catches.

The circuit is now closed and the windlass should be receiving power from the house battery. To open the circuit, simply press the red button.

Battery Switch




14

At the bottom of the distribution panel and to the left of the windlass breaker are the breakers for the forward table, power steering, electronics, helm panel, stereo amp (if applicable) and aft hatch. All these components run off the house battery (s). If popped these breakers will show red in the window below the “OFF” label on the left side of the switch. To reset push in the right side of the switch, “ON”, so that it is flush with the panel.

The bottom right breaker, “ACC”, is a 50 -amp breaker left open for adding an appropriate 50-amp accessory.

It is important that all breakers match the amperage requirements of their associated components. The back of the breakers are labeled with their amperages and can be viewed by looking at the back of the panel as accessed through the battery access door on the front of the leaning post.

Battery Access

All the batteries can be accessed by opening the door below the helm seat. Your boat will have a house battery (or two) that operates the general electrical features of the boat and a battery for each engine. Each battery should be able to be identified by the labels on the wires that lead to it. When replacing batteries, it is critical the wires be secured to the proper terminals precisely as they were on the previous battery(s).

Open Battery Access




15

Ladder & 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.

When washing off your boat at the end of the day make sure to extend the ladder and wash it off, as well. Leaving saltwater in the telescoping tubes may lead to corrosion and affect the useful life of your ladder.

DANGER:

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

Yamah a Owner’s Manual to address these issues .

Engine Prop

Fuel System

Fuel System

This Cobia comes equipped with a 275-gallon fuel cell stationed below the leaning post between the stringer system. The fuel fill receptacle is on the port gunwale.

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.

Fuel Fill Receptacle

DANGER:

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 Owner’s Manual). Do not use fuels with alcohol or alcohol related derivatives that can cause marine fuel system hoses to deteriorate.




17

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 13 for operation of the ball valve associated with this system.

Cockpit Drain

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

11 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 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 be taken:

1.

Open livewell hatch.

Livewell

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




18

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.

Rod Storage & Fish

Lockers

Rod Storage

The 320 Center Console model comes standard with under gunwale rod racks on both the port and starboard sides. These give you space to safely store an additional 6 rods for your fishing needs.

Port and Starboard Fish Lockers

Port Gunwale Storage Rack

Fish Locker

The 320 CC has two fish lockers on the port (70 gal.) and starboard (45 gal.) sides. These lockers are insulated and each one is connected to a macerator with the contents being dumped overboard. The macerators are located in the bilge on the outboard sides of the stringers. They can be accessed through the bilge access hatch under the aft folding seat. All lockers/hatches come standard with gas shocks to assist in opening and holding the latch open while loading or unloading. These lockers can also double as storage for various other items.




19

Macerator Access & Operation

Macerator Switches

The switches for each fish box macerator are located on the switch panel left of the steering helm. These can be operated independently of each other and the switches are labeled.

Macerator Access

In order to access the macerators, open the bilge access hatch by using the controls on the starboard side of the tackle station. Failure to remove the backrest before the hatch is fully opened can result in damage to the backrest and/or the hatch .

The macerator pumps will be mounted in the bilge area on the inboard side of the stringers and operate their respective fish box (port/starboard).

Anchor Locker

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.

Anchor Locker

Standard Features

Cockpit Bolsters

Cockpit bolsters are standard with the 320 CC. These will add some comfort to legs when fighting with the big fish. The bolster cushions are mounted to the port and starboard gunwales that house an additional three rod holders each. The forward rod holder is mounted at 45 degrees to the outboard side. The middle rod holder is mounted at 30 degrees to the outboard side and the aft rod holder is mounted straight.

The bow bolsters can be removed for storage by carefully gripping the bottom side of the cushion with your hands spread a comfortable length apart and lifting up. You will feel the

Cockpit Bolsters




21

cushion release. To put the bow bolsters back on the boat, line up the holes on the backside of the bolsters with the top of the clips on the gunwales. Push the cushion in and down on the clips until the cushion will not go down any further. You should feel the bolster lock into place.

Table Lift

The 320 CC features an electric table lift in the bow seating area that comes standard with the boat. The table can be lowered all the way down to sit flush with the deck allowing full access to the bow area (1). It can be raised halfway to sit flush with the rest of the bow seating for an elevated viewing platform or simply more area to lounge (2).

Lastly, at the fully extended position, it functions as a picnic style table with seating all around (3).

1 2 3

Bow Table Operation

To raise or lower the bow table simply press and hold the top or bottom buttons located on the panel labeled “Table” located on the forward starboard cockpit wall. The table is equipped with an automatic shut-off feature that stops the table from moving either upward or downward if there is any resistance. Even so, make sure that the table has a completely unobstructed path before raising or lowering the table.

Trim Tabs

Bennett 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.




22

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. Trim Tab

To raise the bow; press the bottom of the corresponding switch.

Pull Up Bow Light and Cleats

The bow light and cleats are stainless steel pull up style and can remain hidden when not in use. This is especially helpful while fishing as it leaves nothing in the bow to interfere with your line. The bow light lifts from the indent at its front. It will lock in place once fully pulled up.

Note: It is required by law to have the bow light on, in the up position and unobstructed when operating in low visibility situations.

To raise the cleats simply grip the indents and lift until locked. To recess these items simply push them back into the deck. As with all stainless moving parts on your Cobia, it is recommended that you routinely apply a stainless safe corrosion inhibitor and lubricant to keep these items working properly.

Cockpit Courtesy Lights

The cockpit comes equipped with seven lights: four installed beneath the port and starboard gunwale boards, two under each gunwale board, one at the forward bow bulkhead underneath bow filler, two on the forward starboard and port bulkhead. The cockpit lights are operated by the sixth switch from the left on the console switch panel.

The courtesy lights are operated by the fourth switch and are located on the outboard sides of the console and the steps leading into the head unit.




23

Fresh Water Shower

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 “FRESH WATER” 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.

Fresh Water Shower

Salt Water Washdown

Salt water washdown is standard 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 salt water and avoid all other areas. Always rinse your boat with fresh water as soon as you return to the dock or home if the boat is being trailered.

Raw Water Receptacle




24

Console/Head Access

Located at the top on the inside of the console/head access door is a locking gas shock that aides in opening the door and keeping the door open once the shock is fully extended. With the door fully opened, it can only be closed by releasing the pressure of the metal sleeve on the door side against the shock that is mounted to the console. To do this, open the door to its fullest open position, thereby allowing the door slide sleeve to be

Gas Shock moved so that it will slide overtop of the gas shock as the door closes. Failure to release this locking mechanism while attempting to close the door will lead to the gas shock failing, or damage to the mounting brackets.

Head Unit

Inside the console is the head unit. There are steps that lead into the head unit which houses an electric head, fresh water sink with spray nozzle for rinsing off, switch panel for flushing head, on-off switch for the macerator, and towel-rack bar. The main DC breaker panel (for switch panel accessories) is inside along with two port hole windows.

DC Main Breaker Panel

The DC main breaker panel is located to the left of the mirror and contains the breakers for the accessories on the helm switch panel. If an accessory is not working it may because its breaker has been popped. Simply find the rubber button on the breaker panel for the associated accessory and press it in. You should feel an internal button move in and then catch. This will reset the breaker and close the circuit. If the accessory still is not working or the breaker pops again, another issue is present.

The backside of the switch panel and the electronics can be reached inside the door with the mirror. The fuse box on the back of the door contains the fuses for the helm electronics such as the GPS units and VHF.

Electric Head Operation

Main Breaker Panel

To operate the head, first, make sure that the intake/fill valve located on the inside of the bottom of the hull accessed through the hatch to the left side of the toilet. The valve is open when its handle is pointing straight up. This will allow water to enter the head upon flushing.




25

Once you’ve finished using the head, press the flush button labeled “Elec Head” on the switch panel. This will push the contents of the head into the holding tank.

Note that the toilet contents will always go into the holding tank first, no matter if planning on pumping out or using the macerator.

Intake/Fill Valve in the “OPEN” Position

To evacuate the holding tank via a marina pump out, make sure that the handle for the Y-valve (located in the access hatch to the right of the toilet) is in the correct position. This will allow the tank contents to be sucked out of the tank via the waste deck fitting on the deck. The discharge for the deck fitting will always be the topmost outlet on the Y-valve. The handle is in the correct position if the arrow for the top outlet IS NOT covered by the wide end of the handle.

This is the position the handle should be kept in at all times to prevent the possibility of mistakenly discharging waste overboard in waters illegally. (Within 3 miles of shore and where otherwise designated.) If desired, the handle can be locked in this position by inserting a padlock through the hole on the handle and through the housing on the Yvalve.

Note: The visible arrows on the Y-valve always show the direction of the flow. In other words, the wide end of the handle always covers the arrow for the outlet where the flow is NOT going to go. If the flow is pointing downwards, the waste is being directed through the bottom of the hull and overboard. If the flow is pointing up, the waste is being directed upward to the deck and the pump out fitting.

To evacuate the tank overboard using the macerator, open the valve on the waste discharge thru hull located next to the head intake valve/thru hull. The Y-valve handle should then be turned so that the wide portion of the handle covers the silver arrow for the pump-out outlet (the top outlet.) The visible arrows should now be showing the flow




26

to be going downward. Next, press down the macerator switch on the panel. This will push the contents in the holding tank out the bottom of the boat through the waste discharge thru hull. Once the process is complete it is advisable to close the discharge valve and put the Y-valve handle back into the pump-out position. (The wide portion of the handle covering the down arrow.)

The Jabsco Y-Valve is designed to provide flexibility of onboard waste management by diverting waste either to the dockside pump-out fitting or directly overboard where legal to do so. Check local and federal regulations to determine where direct overboard discharge of untreated waste is permitted.

Note that the wide portion of the handle is covering the down arrow.

The exposed arrows show the direction of the flow up.

FLOW UP = DECK PUMPOUT

Note that the wide portion of the handle is covering the up arrow. The exposed arrows show the direction of the flow down.

Optional Features

Optional Bow Cushion Set

The 320 CC comes with the option of an eleven-piece bow cushion set. These cushion bottoms are removable and are held in place by several sets of stainless steel snaps. To remove the cushions, simply pull the snap strap away from the embedded snap and remove the cushion. When left outside or exposed to the elements for a prolonged period of time, it is recommended to take off the seat cushions and store them in a dry place. Refer to page 40 for cushion care instructions.

Hard Top Storage

The storage hatches are conveniently located directly above the helm and are spacious enough to hold any electronics or related accessories, personal flotation devices, or items you would like to keep secure and dry while under way or during storage. They feature locking latches as well as hatch springs that hold the door in the open position when fully extended providing easy access.

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 have been added to accept the anchor and keep it far enough from the bow of your 320 CC to prevent damage to the bow. The windlass is mounted just aft of the bow roller plate.

The Windlass breaker is located on the battery switch panel on the side of the starboard console. The windlass solenoid is mounted just above and to the left of the breaker panel.

Casting the Anchor: The Anchor can be cast by using the electrical controls or manually. To operate manually, the safety lanyard must be unhooked from chain and the clutch must be disengaged allowing the gypsy to spin free and letting the rope or chain fall into the water. To slow the decent, the handle must be turned clockwise. To cast the anchor using the electrical power, simply press the DOWN button on the control provided. The anchor switch is mounted on the helm station. In this manner, anchor casting is under control and the rope or chain will uniformly descend. In order to avoid any stress on the windlass, once the boat is anchored, fasten the chain with a chain locker or secure it in place with a rope.

Hauling the Anchor: Turn on the engine. Make sure the clutch is engaged and remove the handle. Press the UP button on the control provided. If the windlass slows down (during heavy lifting) wait a bit and the press the UP button again. Check the upward movement of the chain during the last few meters in order to avoid damage to the bow.

Closing the Clutch: The clutch provides a link between the gypsy and the main shaft.

The clutch is released (disengaged) by using the clutch handle which, when inserted into the drum or gypsy cover, must be turned counter clockwise. The clutch will be reengaged by turning it clockwise.

WARNING: READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE OPERATING

WINDLASS

DO NOT USE THE WINDLASS TO DRAG THE BOAT TO YOUR ANCHOR. THE

PROPER METHOD IS TO USE YOUR BOATS OWN POWER TO POSITION

YOURSELF RIGHT ABOVE THE ANCHOR AND THEN USE THE WINDLASS TO

HAUL THE ANCHOR. STAY CLEAR OF THE CHAIN, ROPES, AND GYPSY.

MAKE SURE THE ELECTRICAL MOTOR IS OFF WHEN WINDLASS IS USED

MANUALLY (EVEN WHEN USING THE HANDLE TO DISENGAGE THE

CLUTCH). IN FACT, PEOPLE WITH A REMOTE CONTROL MIGHT

ACCIDENTALLY OPERATE THEIR CONTROL. FASTEN THE CHAIN OR ROPE

WITH THE SAFETY LANYARD BEFORE MOVING TO NAVIGATION. DO NOT

OPERATE THE WINDLASS BY USING THE ELECTRICAL POWER WHEN THE

LEVER IS INSERTED INTO THE DRUM OR IN THE COVER OF THE GYPSY.

Warranty

Cobia Boats are NMMA Certified and offer superior SeaTech “no wood” construction. All Cobias are backed by a no-nonsense, 10-year 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 Maverick Boat Group.

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.
