ENGINES

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 INSTRUMENT PANEL

Switch Panel & Helm

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

panel, which is located above the engine starter

buttons. This panel controls your lights, horn,

accessories, livewell, and your bilge. When a button is

in the “on” position, it 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 left of

the throttle you have your two trim tab switches. (Refer

to page 22 for trim tab for operation.)

FUEL-WATER

Fuel/Water Separator

Fuel-Water Separator

Yamaha Fuel - Water Separators are installed

between the fuel tank and engines on the 344. The

new, improved 10-micron filters provide 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.

Each engine's fuel separator can be checked by

unscrewing the canister 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.

The micron filters and heads are pictured to the right .

They are mounted inside an access panel located on

the starboard side of the bilge access hatch. The fuel

system primer bulbs are located next to each filter.

(Refer to page 14 for more information on the fuel

system.)

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

you 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 6 of this Owner’s Manual for information on your

boats bilge system.

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 switches are 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 or lifted to stimulate being

submerged, attempt to manually turn on 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 breaker panel inside the

console to see if the breaker has been tripped (for

additional information see breaker panel on page 35). If

the breaker has been tripped, reset it by pressing the

breaker button, 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 the 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.

BILGE ACCESS

Bilge Access

Hatch Control

Accessing the bilge in the 344 is made easy. First, locate the controls for the electronic lift assist, labelled “hatch”, mounted on

the starboard side of the tackle center. Next, press and hold the top button on the controls. This will cause the aft section to lift

revealing the bilge access. To lower the aft section simply press and hold the bottom button on the control panel until the aft

section is back into original position. Remember the electronic lift assist operates using the house battery system.

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.

344 Deckdrain System

The deck drain 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.

344 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.

HEAD OPERATION

Head Unit

Inside the console is the head unit. There are steps that lead into the head unit which houses an electric head, fresh water

sink, with spray nozzle for rinsing off, switch panel for flushing head and on-off switch for the macerator. There is a DC

breaker panel inside (See page 35) and also two opening port hole windows. There is also access to the macerator, y-valve,

water intake and discharge for the toilet and holding tank, and another access to the forward bilge. (Refer to pages 11-12 for

more information on how to operate the full head system.)
