Pre-Operation Checklist We recommend you print this document and store it at the helm station. Maverick Boat Group 3207 Industrial 29th St. • Fort Pierce, Florida 34946 • cobiaboats.com (772)-465-0631...
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.
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.
Yamaha engine owner’s manual located in the Cobia Duffel Bag. 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”...
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.
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.

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 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.
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.
Page 15
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”...
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.
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.
Port Gunwale Storage Rack Port and Starboard Fish Lockers 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.
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.
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.

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).

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.

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.
Page 25
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.

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.

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.
T-Top There are several different T-Top options for the Cobia 320 CC. The T-Tops come with either a Weblon or a fiberglass hard top. Each of these tops has the option of being outfitted with an electronics box, forward and aft facing LED spreader lights, outriggers, recessed LED overhead lights, speakers, additional storage and electronic space.

Aft Personal Flotation Device Storage Optional JL Stereo System If you chose the stereo option, your 320 CC came with a JL Audio Stereo system Media Master 100 with four matching speakers and an auxiliary plug located under the helm in the glove box.
Page 30
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.

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 re- engaged by turning it clockwise.
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.
