The wires on both sides of the plug aren’t the same color so unfortunately it’s not dummy proof. I’m pretty excited to get it on the water. From everything I have read it’s a great boat. Thanks again!

What do your gauges look like and do you have any pictures of the front and back sides of them?

Hope you get her solved Jeff.

Welcome aboard mate!

Dang. Sorry I just logged on and noticed you sent the pic. I really do appreciate your help. I’ll head to the boat in the morning and see if I can make sense of it. I will let you know how it goes!

No problem, Ill be back up at the boat possibly wednesday, but for sure over the weekend so can snap any additional photos what you would need. Perhaps send a photo of whats disconnected and I can see what should be connected to that.

I went to the boat this morning but had no luck. You have the correct plug. If you could possibly get me pics of both ends of that plug so I can tell what color goes in what slot. I tried to pm you but I don’t think it’s going through. I’m not very good at navigating these forums. If it’s easier for you I can give you my cell or email. I can’t thank you enough for the help!

Glad thats what your looking for. Will get you close up detailed shot of that plug when I get back up later this week. Didn't see any pm from you, but if you get it figured out can send me your cell and I can txt photos directly to you.

We've owned an A25, then an R5, then custom ordered a new 2018 A25. Absolutely love the A25 because of the sexy lines and hydraulic swim platform. While the R5 may be a little better sorted out on some interior features (such as hinges), the A25 feels exclusive. Wouldn't trade it for anything on the water right now.

Love the Blue Angels. Great choice Nick! Your new A is really spectacular. Love the tower. Wonder if I could buy that from Cobalt and add it on? I agree the A series are some of the most beautiful boats on the water. You will get many years of memories out of it.

Those "flared skirts" near the water line are the bomb. Such a unique and cool look NA25! 8-)
