Cobalt Boats Forum

Our marina on Lake Travis has closed their fuel dock until further notice and advised us of some new rules: "Do not raft up with other boats. Do not hang out at the marina. Get in your boat and leave and when you come back from boating, get to your vehicles. You are only allowed your immediate ...

I agree! Doctor's orders!!

Nice! That'll be the ideal place to go and relax. I haven't even de-winterized yet.

What's the consensus? Is winter officially over in Austin, TX?

I had my Hook-7 windshield mounted last year too, with RAM mounts, and it wasn't cutting it. I decided to fashion a couple of brackets and use the existing screws on my console. It's been a good solid solution. Here's the skinny: https://www.cobaltchat.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=2938&p=59195#p...

Is that a tilt wheel? Photo G mounted his right above the wheel and it looks good. May be the only solution with your dash config.

Unfortunately, if I set up my Hook-7 in that configuration, it would constantly get whacked when I have a boat full of happy folks (myself included) moving around inside while anchored and...
