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.

Port and Starboard Fish Lockers The 301 CC has two 40-gallon fish lockers built into the aft cockpit floor on the port and starboard 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 above 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.
Table Lift Table Lift The 301 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).
Water System Salt Water Washdown Salt water washdown is standard on the 301 CC model. The pump is located in the port bilge and is accessible through the bilge access. To operate, hook a hose to the salt water receptacle located by the transom gate above the port deck drain.
Fresh Water System The fresh water tank on your 301 CC can be filled at the cap labeled “WATER” on the starboard deck gunwale. To pressurize the system, flip the switch labeled “FRESH WASH DOWN” on the switch panel at the helm. You can leave this switch in the ON position while the boat is in use.

Directly below the 24-hour “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.
Glove Box Seating Leaning Post The Leaning Post for the 301 CC is home to the double bolstered helm seats that lock into the seated position or flip down independently for the boater’s preference. This leaning post also carries two insulated coolers with insulated lids.
Standard Features Cockpit Bolsters Cockpit bolsters are standard with the 301 CC. The bolsters in the rear cockpit above the vertical rod storage are hard mounted to the gunwale boards and are designed to stay on the boat. 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.
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.
Optional Features Optional Battery Charger A 3-bank, 30-amp battery charger is an option for the 301 CC. It is mounted in the leaning post tackle station and can be accessed via the battery storage door underneath the helm seat. This onboard charging system allows you to charge the boat’s batteries directly from a standard 110-volt electrical outlet and extension cord.

A bow plate and anchor roller have been added to accept the anchor and keep it far enough from the bow of your 301 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 in the port compartment on the side of the leaning post.
