Self-Bailing Cockpit & Livewell
Self-Bailing Cockpit
The cockpit 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.
Water drains out of the cockpit through two aft cockpit drains
located at the far aft cockpit floor on both the port and starboard
sides. Each side drains overboard through the side of the hull
independently. None of this water is drained into the bilge. Refer to
page 13 for operation of the ball valve associated with this system.
The bilge is designed to drain any water entering the inside of the
hull. All hoses are sealed and double clamped during construction. 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
11 for further information regarding bilge pump operation and maintenance.
Livewell System
The livewell system is designed to keep your
baitfish alive and strong for as long as possible.
This livewell provides a cool, clean, and
oxygenated environment that allows you to keep
your baitfish alive for long periods of time. To
efficiently operate your livewell, the following
steps should be taken:
1. Open livewell hatch.
2. Install stand-up pipe snugly.
3. Ensure livewell pump ball valve is in open position.
4. Turn on livewell switch.
The livewell operates by pumping fresh seawater from the pump through an aerator
head into the livewell. Drainage is achieved through the grate on the top of the
