Just purchased my 2015 R5 VP 430. The previous owner had a 242 trailer that he used for the R5 because it was always kept on a lift. The dealer I spoke with says the R5 fits perfectly on the 242 trailer. However, the last 3 times I have loaded it, the bow just doesn’t like to stay up on the roller....

My Volvo oem transom switch looks just like that. It has a round hole behind it. The switch as gone south and need a new one. No luck with the internet. Will probably have to go to the dealer for a replacement. Here is the front and side of that switch. Call them on the phone and see if they will s...

Time to find a mechanic. See if they will let you watch

I had this made a couple years ago

How much was the VP switch? My dealer quoted @ $250, so thinking the Mercury switch would work (plug and play) I bought that one for @$65. Looks like the VP switch will plug right into the harness (see second picture in my post above) and the 3 wire connector type plugs must goto back of the switch...

I bought the kit from cobalt when I purchased the new to me r7. A little confused as I thought it was just going to be the part with the three wires with tiny black ends. So I gotta find where they connect. My current thinking is that maybe these larger black connectors go in the middle of a section...

PXL_20210207_221754435.jpg I just looked at mine. It's a 3 pin and it's labeled Merc trim. Hey Bruce, I am looking for these connections in my engine bay. Any chance you could help point me in the right direction? I would have guessed (if facing the stern, I would need to look to the left of the re...

you can always call cobalt customer service before the request goes to the dealer to get a better estimate.

I just picked up a loadmaster trailer Friday. It is a thing of beauty. I don’t know how it toes bc I pick up my ‘16 R7 this weekend That trailer is a thing of beauty! Did you get torsion axles on it? Did you get the boat, too? Would love to see pics of them mated up! I ordered the trailer and final...

Neither boat will have it.

My Loadmaster just got completed today!!! Tuscany helped me out with a couple measurements so they could preinstall my v-block as my new to me boat is on a lift in water.

My trailer got completed today. I plan to pick it up friday. As hopefully the following weekend I can pick up my boat!
