Re: 2019 SC25 sports tower corrosion

Yes agreed to go 316 stainless completely with no powder coating. yes companies like Regal use fiberglass. I’m not convinced corrosive environments has anything to do with it, I believe you are correct with the dissimilar metals and the process Sampson is using. Sea Ray has similar problems with the...

Re: 2019 SC25 sports tower corrosion

Bill not to be a pessimist but most of us waited 8-10 months mostly due to the delays from the tower company blaming “supply chain” issues. My suggestion is to be a squeaky wheel. Cobalt immediately should switch to fiberglass towers. I am not going to buy another Cobalt due to this issue. Btw not u...

Re: 2019 SC25 sports tower corrosion

I am still waiting for my replacement tower and my claim was opened last July (yes 10 months ago) my dealer is waiting for several towers for others as well with the same problem. Supply chain issues. Pretty disappointed quite frankly but it’s out of my control. I’ve also spoken to Cobalt and they a...

Re: 2019 SC25 sports tower corrosion

Btw, I’m not being a slacker lol just trying not to be a pain in the ass to the dealer. They said it could take a while to have it approved. I don’t know why Cobalt doesn’t switch to a fiberglass tower and avoid this

Re: 2019 SC25 sports tower corrosion

Damn this sucks, thanks for the explanation. I am awaiting to hear back from the dealer once he hears back from Cobalt to see if it’s covered under warranty. I am surprised that Cobalt hasn’t made a correction to this issue.

2019 SC25 sports tower corrosion

Hello all, there is multiple areas on our tower where there is corrosion especially where it connects with the stainless mounts for the Bimini as well as the base. Is there a reasonable fix before the paint starts flaking off? Boat year is 2019. I assume this tower is powder coated.
