  • Page 11: Garboard Drain Plug

    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.
  • Page 12 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 such a situation exists, the boat should be taken to a certified marine technician immediately.
  • Page 13: Systems

    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.
  • Page 14 265 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.
  • Page 15 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.
  • Page 16 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. Some near shore areas and inland areas are designated as "No- Discharge Zones"...
  • Page 17: Ladder & Props

    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. Once the ladder is down and in the extended position, close the lid cover for safe and secure entry and exit via the ladder.
  • Page 18: Fuel System

    Fuel System Fuel System The Cobia 265 Open comes equipped with a 161- gallon fuel cell stationed below the leaning post between the stringer system. 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.
  • Page 19: Livewell System

    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 10 for further information regarding bilge pump operation and maintenance.
  • Page 20: Rod Storage & Fish Lockers

    Rod Storage & Fish Lockers Rod Storage The 265 Open 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 Starboard Gunwale Storage Rack The 265 Open has two 46-gallon fish lockers built...
  • Page 21: Anchor Locker

    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.
  • Page 22: Water System

    Water System Raw Water Washdown Salt water washdown is standard on the 265 Open model. The pump is located in the port bilge and is accessible through the flip up seat opening. To operate, hook a hose to the salt water receptacle located by the transom gate above the port deck drain.
  • Page 23: Battery Switch And Main Distribution Panel

    Battery Switch and Main Distribution Panel The battery switches and main distribution panel are located on the starboard 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 24: Battery Access

    Cranking Battery Access House Battery Access 12-Volt Accessory Plug The Cobia 265 Open comes with 4 12-volt accessory plugs standard on the boat. The plugs are located in the forward cubbies by the forward seating, the port side of the glovebox, and under the aft end of the starboard gunnel.
  • Page 25 Pictured is Premium Helm Seat Option 265 Aft Seating To deploy the standard aft seat, grab the seat and pull down. Once the seat begins to swing open push on the topside of the cushion straight down until the seat is fully horizontal and locks in place.
  • Page 26: Standard Features

    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.
  • Page 27: Optional Features

    Optional Features Optional Battery Charger A 4-bank and 3-bank battery charger are options for the 265 Open. The 4-bank will allow charge to the cranking and house batteries, while the 3-bank battery charger will charge the optional trolling motor batteries. The 4-bank charger is mounted in the leaning post and can be accessed via the battery storage door underneath the helm seat.
  • Page 28 Hardtop The Cobia 265 Open has an optional fiberglass hardtop that comes with an integrated glass enclosure to help keep out the elements. The hardtop is equipped with forward and aft spreader lights and overhead lights that can be changed from white light to blue.
  • Page 29 Optional JL Stereo System If you chose the stereo option, your 265 CC came with a JL Audio Media Master 105 with six matching JL audio speakers (ten matching speakers if hard-top option is chosen) and two matching subwoofers. Please refer to the JL Audio Owner’s Manual in your ditty bag for operation.
  • Page 30 Please review the manufacturer’s operating instructions on the following pages before using your windlass. Additional information can be found in the Lewmar owner’s manual. WARNING: READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE OPERATING WINDLASS DO NOT USE THE WINDLASS TO DRAG THE BOAT TO YOUR ANCHOR.
