Cobalt Boats Forum

Kill switch ‘button’ on R5 keeps popping out for no reason whatsoever. Never happened before. Can occur immediately or after a few minutes. Even while the boat is not moving.

2008 R5. First time after three seasons this occurred. The emergency toggle on the shifter keeps popping out almost like it’s a reverse magnet. After three seconds or after three minutes. Obviously kills the engine every time.

Any ideas????

Just pulled the trigger on a new R5 ( much to the great help from this group with directing me what to get )

But now I’m thoroughly confused by which 6000lb Boat Lift to purchase. I think I’ve got it down between Shore Station, RGC, and Max Lift. Any thoughts out there? Confused. Thanks!!!

Hi! New to the group but really have gotten great answers so far. Pulling the trigger on a R5, but was interested in any APPS people would recomned for chart plotting, GPS for the Great Lakes areas?

Thanks!

Probably going to pull the trigger on a new R5

Wondering if the interior LED option light is worth it?

Thanks !

Thanks everyone. I think the R5 may be the way to go based on what I’ve been reading and I was leaning that way anyway. My dealer here in Grand Rapids Michigan has the choice of a 300 or 380 hp. A little bit of a price difference but anyone know the difference in top end speed of the two engines?

Thanks! Really some solid advice and this is helping. I think the R5 may be the way to go. Does anyone know the difference in TopSpeed between the 300 and 380 hp Volvo?

Trying to decide between an R3 and R5 - Besides the obvious and price difference, any comments or thoughts?
