ENGINE

Engine stop switch (above)

Engine Break-In Period

New engines require a period of break-in to allow

the surfaces of the moving parts to mate evenly.

Different engines require different break-in periods

and methods. For instructions on break in methods,

refer to your Yamaha Engine Owner’s Manual for

the correct break-in procedures and times for your

model engines

Engine Stop Switch

If activated, the spring loaded engine stop switch

will automatically shut down the engine during

emergency situations to prevent uncontrolled or

unattended operation. Certain emergency

conditions (e.g., turbulent water, wakes,

unanticipated movement) may impair a person’s

ability to operate the craft safely. The switch,

located on the helm, must have the safety lanyard

attached at its base. This activates the protective

shutdown circuitry.

Securely attach the other end of the lanyard to the

operator of the boat. If the operator moves, falls or

is at an unsafe distance from the steering wheel,

tension on the lanyard will pull it from the switch.

When the lanyard is removed, the engine stop

switch is released and automatic engine shutdown

occurs.

Engine Stop Switch

An engine stop switch system that is not used or does not function properly can cause death or serious injury.

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.

SWITCH AND

Switch Panel & Helm

At the helm of your Cobia, you have a main switch

panel, which is located above the steering wheel. This

panel controls your lights, horn, accessories, livewell,

and your bilge. When a switch is in the “on” position, its

tip is illuminated. This alerts you that the associated

accessory should be functioning and also reminds you

to turn it off during boat shutdown. When the “NAV” light

switch is in the “on” position, the labels for the switches

will be illuminated. To the right of the steering wheel you

have your two trim tab switches, (Refer to page 20 for

trim tab operation.) The boat also comes standard with

a compass mounted on top of the console.

Compass

Command Link Gauges

Yamaha’s new 6YC Command Link gauge comes standard on your new Cobia. This gauge allows access to more

information and is user-selectable so you can choose the functions displayed. Speed data can be displayed from a pitot tube,

Triducer, or NMEA protocol GPS unit. To learn the gauge’s full functionality refer to your Yamaha engine owner’s manual

located in the Cobia duffel bag.

Fuel-Water Separator

The Yamaha Fuel - Water Separators are installed behind the rear

access panel on the starboard transom side along with the fuel

system primer bulbs. The new, improved 10-micron filter provides

superior filtration ahead of the engine's onboard filters and

injectors. Large filtering and water capture areas maximize

filtration while maintaining adequate flow rate for larger engines.

The fuel separator can be checked by removing it from the

mounting bracket and dumping it into an approved waste

collection device. 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. In areas of high humidity where water in fuel supplies is a

problem or extensive engine operation occurs, more frequent replacement may be necessary.

Garboard Drain Plug

The garboard drain plug is the small metal plug located at

the lowest point on the hull, at the bottom of the transom

right above the keel. The drain has been designed so that

it can be loosened by hand while the hull is out of the

water for draining. This allows the plug to stay in contact

with the surrounding frame so you’ll never misplace or

lose it. You can completely remove the insert by pulling

back and continue turning in a counter clockwise motion.

It is manufactured with a rubber seal in place to ensure

the bilge is watertight. Always make sure before putting

the boat in the water that this plug is hand tightened

firmly. Excess water in the bilge may be an indication of a

problem with this plug or the automatic bilge pump. Refer

to page 8 of this Owner’s Manual for information on your

boats bilge system.

BILGE ACCESS

Bilge Access

Hatch Control

Accessing the bilge in the 277 is made easy. First, locate the controls for the electronic lift assist, labeled “Hatch”, mounted on

the starboard side of the tackle station directly across from the gunnel. Next, press and hold the top button on the controls. This

will cause the rear access to lift revealing the bilge access. To lower the hatch simply press and hold the bottom button on the

control panel until aft section is fully closed. Remember the electronic lift assist operates using the house battery system. Note

that the aft seat backrest must be removed to fully open the hatch. Failure to remove the backrest may result in damage

to the backrest and or the hatch lifting mechanism. In the event that the boat does not have power to electronically lift the

hatch, the electronic lift can be disengaged by lowering the bench seat and using the access opening shown below to remove

the pin from the electric ram. Keep in mind that at his point the hatch will no longer be supported in the up position and will

require being held up to maintain access to the bilge. Once the work in the bilge is finished and power is restored to the hatch

lift it is important to attach the ram to the hatch with the pin once again to secure the door in the closed position. See page 11

for access to the forward bilge.

Fwd. Bilge Pump and Float Switch

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. If such a situation exists, the boat should be

taken to a certified marine technician immediately. Never

pump fuel or oil overboard while your boat is in the

water.

Large quantities of water in the bilge may be an indication of

a leak or that the bilge pump and/or automatic float switch is

not functioning properly due to a jam, clog or electrical issue.

The automatic float switch is wired to the hot side of the

battery switch through the “BILGE” fuse at the battery switch

panel. When functioning properly, the float switch activates

the bilge pump to pump water overboard once water in the

bilge reaches a level that submerges the switch.

If your bilge pump does not come on when the float switch is

submerged, attempt to manually engage the bilge pump on

your switch panel. If the bilge pump comes on and evacuates

the water, it is likely that the float switch is not functioning

properly. If the bilge pump does not come on via the switch

panel, check the corresponding breaker on the main

distribution panel (page 24) to see if a breaker has been

tripped. If the breaker has been tripped, reset it, and turn the

switch on again, listening for the bilge pump to turn on.

If the bilge pump fails to turn on, turn the battery switch to the OFF position, then unhook the bilge pump from its cradle

by pressing the locking tab and twist motor housing counter-clockwise. You will feel the pump release from the cradle.

The entire bilge pump and wiring should release from the cradle. After removing the pump, check the underside and

impeller areas for miscellaneous items that might clog the pump. If any obstructions are present remove the debris and

set the pump back into the cradle. Once set back in the cradle, press the pump down on the base then twist until the lock

button snaps it into 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.

SYSTEMS

THE LIVEWELL PUMP

ASSEMBLY IN THE “OPEN”

POSITION

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. When the ball valve handle is in the same position

as the direction of flow, the valve is in the “OPEN”

position. When the ball valve handle appears to cross the

direction of flow, the valve is in the “CLOSED” position.

The ball valves can be accessed in the bilge compartment

behind the aft seating.

277 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. These drains are rigged with ball

valves that can be opened and closed to control the flow

of water. In the open position, these ball valves will allow

water to flow freely from the cockpit, thus making the boat

“self-bailing”. When closed, no water will be allowed to

travel to or from the cockpit.

277 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.

This is the correct position for the operation of the livewell

system.
