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”...
Bilge 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.
until you feel it snap back in place. Once this is completed you can try to turn the pump on again. 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.
240 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.
Battery Switch Battery Switch The batteries are located under the aft helm seat cushion. The battery switch panel with main breakers is located on the inboard wall of the station that holds the helm seat. There are independent battery switches for the engine and house batteries and an emergency parallel switch that can be used to join the two batteries together in case the engine battery does not have enough power to crank the engine.
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.
Self-Bailing Cockpit Self-Bailing Cockpit The cockpit on the Cobia 240 DC 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.
Anchor Locker Trim Tabs Trim Tabs Bennett trim tabs are standard on your new Cobia. External 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.
Windshield Windshield The windshield on the 240 DC can fold to either fit in either an open or closed position. The open position allows for an easy walkway to and from the bow, while if it is closed it can sit securely for long runs. Use the tabs on the walkthrough glass panel to secure it closed to the other side in the event of rough water or while trailering.

Cooler Bench Seat Your Cobia 240 DC comes equipped with a versatile and easy to use adjusting cooler seat. It can be positioned to provide a front facing seat or a reclined back facing seat. The position of the seat can be changed by simply by moving the backrest opposite the direction you would like to face.
Shower & Wash-Down Standard Freshwater Shower The 9.5 gallon fresh water tank on your new Cobia can be filled at the cap labeled “WATER” on the starboard transom next to the walk-thru door. The hose nozzle is on the starboard aft bulkhead.
An electric head with macerator unit is standard on the 240. The instruction manual can be found in the Cobia Duffel Bag, and basic operating instructions are listed on the following pages. (Refer to page 34 for Sanitation System diagram).

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 Y- valve.

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 JL Stereo System If you chose the stereo option, your 240 DC came with a JL Audio Stereo system Media Master 100 with eight matching speakers. The M800/8v2 channel amplifier is mounted inside the console on the aft bulkhead.

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.

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