Fresh Water Shower
The fresh water tank on your new Cobia can be filled at the cap
labeled “FRESH WATER” on the back starboard corner near the
transom. The hose nozzle is on the port aft bulkhead. To pressurize
the system, flip the switch labeled “FRESH WATER” on the switch
panel at the helm. You can leave this switch in the ON position
while the boat is in use. The pump has an internal pressure switch
that allows the pump to turn on and off as needed.
In the colder months of the year, it’s advisable to drain the fresh
water system and winterize by adding a non-toxic antifreeze to the
system. Run the antifreeze through the system by opening up the
spray in the shower nozzle until antifreeze is delivered through the
nozzle.
Salt Water Washdown
Salt water washdown is standard on your new Cobia. The pump
is located in the bilge forward of the livewell pump and is
accessible through the splashwell hatch or the aft port hatch. To
operate, hook a hose to the raw water receptacle in the aft
section of the rod locker. Flip the switch labeled “Saltwater”. The
pump will pressurize the system with raw water. Once the
system is pressurized, the pump will shut itself off with an
internal pressure switch and will switch itself back on as you
demand water. Be careful to only spray gel-coated fiberglass
surfaces with salt water and avoid all other areas. Always rinse
your boat with fresh water as soon as you return to the dock or
home if the boat is being trailered.
