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, accidental shove) 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.
