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 9 for operation of the
ball valve associated with this system. The ball valves are
located behind the aft seating.
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
9 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. Press livewell switch located at the helm.
The livewell operates by pumping fresh seawater from the
pump through an aerator head into the livewell, keeping the
live well full at all times. This means that there is very little
wave action in your livewell, this helps to reduce the stress but
on your baitfish keeping them alive longer. Drainage is
achieved through the grate on the top of the standpipe. This constant drainage keeps up water flow and allows for the
removal of ammonia from the livewell, therefore extending the life of your baitfish even further. To drain the livewell, switch
off the pump, close pump ball valve, and remove standpipe.
