263 Filler Cushion

I was cleaning up my shop last night and found the filler cushion for the engine cover. Not sure what it is worth but if someone is interested please contact me. cell 810-841-7616

unfortunately the other two filler cushions were on the boat at the time of the fire, this is the only one I have.

Re: 263 Boat Fire !!

Oh my... That's terrible to see, but glad everyone got off without any issues! You should have no problem selling that trailer. There is always a 262 / 263 owner looking for one. Is your cover for the Fiberglass Arch or Stainless? By boat did not have an arch but the winter cover has the cut out fo...

263 Boat Fire !!

Last weekend we had an issue while underway. All 8 people on board are safe and no injuries. A friend in a different boat came to our assistance. I believe the fire was electrical, the adjuster just finished up and now I can tear into it to see if I can narrow down the cause. I will testify that the...

Re: new owner of Cobalt 262 2002

I fought a similar issue all last summer, turns out the problem was a plugged fuel injector. It was spaying a solid stream rather than a mist. After some research I found that it is a GM injector and I purchased one from the auto parts store for much less than the one from Volvo. The injector was on...

Re: Applying emblem letters

I replaced a couple of mine last summer. I used masking tape to get the spacing correct and the letters level. I used an eraser wheel to remove the glue then cleaned with a wax and grease remover before I applied the new decals.

Re: Post your hotrod or land toy

The 73 was purchased by my grandfather new. everything is original except for the paint and the wheels. It came originally with hub caps that were swapped out for the rally wheels in the late 80's. The 09 is a SE, just a fun little "practical" driver.

Re: Anyone used a Ryobi cordless inflator?

I have never seen that but I will say that I have a Ryobi cordless air compressor and it works great. I use it so much that I now have two, one for each vehicle. I use it to inflate the air bags on my truck, inflating basketballs/volleyballs/footballs and also to inflate the tires on my Jeep and Qua...

One injector or all?

So the Red Stripe is in the shop with a bad fuel injector. The question is, do I replace one injector or all of them? What is the life expectancy of a fuel injector? She has 400 hours on the meter so I am on the fence. I don't want to pay to replace them all just for the sake of doing it but I also ...

Re: Where Does This Go??

Thanks for the diagram, do you know what the FW/WD Switch is? It appears to be in the location that I am looking at.
