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 Accessing the bilge in your 262 is made easy. 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 12
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...
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.

Console Interior Inside the console is the head unit. There are steps that lead into the head unit which houses an optional electric head, fresh water sink with spray nozzle for rinsing off, switch panel for flushing head, on-off switch for the macerator, and a lighted towel-rack bar.
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.
Owner’s Manual to address these issues. Fuel System Engine Prop Fuel System The Cobia 262 CC 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.
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.
6 rods for your fishing needs. Starboard Gunwale Storage Rack Port and Starboard Fish Lockers The 262 CC has two 45-gallon fish lockers built into the aft cockpit floor on the port and starboard sides. These are insulated with bottom drains that go into the bilge unless the boat is equipped with optional macerators.
Macerator Switches The switches for each fish box macerator are located on the switch panel left of the steering helm and are labeled accordingly. The pumps can only be operated independently of each other. 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.
Water System Salt Water Washdown Salt water washdown is standard on the 262 CC 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.
Fresh Water System The fresh water tank on your 262 CC can be filled at the cap labeled “WATER” on the stern 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.

accessory appropriate to 24-hour operation. To reset any of these breakers simply push in the button associated with the involved component. 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.
12-Volt Accessory Plug The 262 CC comes standard with a 12-volt, 25-amp accessory plug located inside the glove box on the port side. Cell phones, media devices, spotlights or any kind of electronic accessory can be charged while remaining in a dry and secure area.
Standard Features Cockpit Bolsters Cockpit bolsters are standard with the 262 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.

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.
