I reached out to Cobalt directly and they have decided that they need to redesign the freshwater tank bulkhead to ensure that the tank can be visually examined. And they have assured me that it will be made to be retrofittable on my R6.
A victory of sorts.

Re: Freshwater level
That was the factory-installed gauge? I know that I *may* have options to install something myself (I can't yet get a good look at the tank itself to know if a float switch can even be installed), but I'm trying to figure out whether my my current lack of a freshwater gauge from the factory is/has b...

Freshwater level
A call out to those of you who have a freshwater system on their boat(s). I'm trying to figure out if I should be resetting my expectations regarding how to measure the level of fluid in my freshwater tank. The word so far from Cobalt is that it is normal for me to not have a gauge or any other mean...

Re: Mystery tank
I know that there are sensors that can be installed. What amazes me is that a freshwater gauge or some NMEA connection was not included in the price of the sink console + transom shower + freshwater system. Cobalt's initial response was along the lines of "Yeah, we used to include that but don'...

Re: Mystery tank
The "mystery tank" has been confirmed as a sump for the sink. The R6 has been at the dealer for the last two weeks while they work with Cobalt to get the problem of it not pumping into the wastewater tank worked out. Apparently some things got wired incorrectly during manufacture, includin...

Re: Mystery tank
I get the idea of it possibly being a sump, but it doesn't make any sense to me as the only connections seem to be A) the sink, and B) the waste tank. It's weird and I can't wait to hear back from Cobalt on this one. I've also questioned them on the lack of a gauge for the fresh water tank level (ga...

Mystery tank
So, I finally took possession of our brand-new 2024 R6! I'll post some glamour shots soon, but in the meantime I am trying to work on flushing the winterization fluid out the water tanks (we have the electric head, sink, and transom shower) while the rain keeps us off the water for the next week or ...

Re: Top cobalt competition??
I looked at the 2023 LS6 when recently shopping. It was the closest runner-up to the R6 which I eventually ordered. There was a noticeable margin in the feeling of quality and solidity in things like the storage hatches and seating surfaces. It was definitely a high-end boat, but there were only one...

Re: Finally getting back on the water
We went with the VP 380 and right now it feels like we didn't forgo much! Given the variety of waterways and uses that we plan, we loaded her up with options like the electric porcelain toilet (wife insisted on that one!), trim tabs, lighting, etc. Went with the non-electric arch and swim step. Colo...

Finally getting back on the water
My history: learned to sail on a Hobie Cat on Lake Arrowhead back as a teenager in the eighties and caught the bug. Then my parents bought a Sea Ray bowrider back in the nineties and I enjoyed learning powerboating and taking it on SoCal lakes and out along the SoCal coast. Moved to NorCal and joine...
