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 Command Link Gauge 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.
Page 11
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.
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.
Cockpit Courtesy Lights Cockpit Courtesy Lights The cockpit comes equipped with three LED 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 gunwales as well as at the bow, aft of the anchor locker.
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 125-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 240 CC has two 33-gallon fish lockers located port and starboard of the cockpit. These lockers are insulated and drain overboard through independent thru hulls on each side of the hull just below the boxes.

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. 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 Trim Tabs 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.
Standard Features Standard Fresh Water Shower The 9.5 gallon 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”...

Speakers Optional JL Stereo System If you chose the stereo option, your 240 CC came with a JL Audio Stereo system Media Master 50 with four matching speakers. Please refer to the JL Audio Owner’s Manual in your ditty bag for operation. Even if your boat didn’t come with the stereo, it is pre- wired for four speakers in the cockpit and for four speakers in the hardtop.

Optional Power Assist Steering The Power Assist pump for the steering is mounted on the forward bulkhead in the aft bilge area. This pump greatly reduces the amount of pressure you have at the wheel and will make boating a much more pleasurable experience. At A Glance Ignition protected Dramatically reduces wheel torque...

A bow plate and anchor roller have been added to accept the anchor and keep it far enough from the bow of your 240 CC to prevent damage to the bow. The windlass is mounted just aft of the bow roller plate.

Optional Electric Head Operation To operate the head, first, make sure that the intake/fill valve located under the sink in the head compartment is open. The valve is open when its handle is pointing straight up. This will allow water to enter the head upon flushing.

Check local and federal regulations to determine where direct overboard discharge of untreated waste is permitted.
