Re: 2003 262 interior

So how do the folks at shops gain access to these areas? Does the top of the boat separate from the hull?

2003 262 interior

Any quick tips on how to remove the interior bench seats and backs for fabric replacement? Difficult or easy? Some cushions are clearly easy to remove but what about the bench seats? Are they snapped in or bolted in?

thanks

Re: How far should 262 engine hatch open?

I have a 2003 262 also and the hatch isn't going as high as it used to go so i suspect i may need to add hydraulic fluid - my question is, what fluid can i use? ATF? Power Steering Fluid or something really specific to Cobalt (also really expensive!)
