Cobalt Boats Forum

There was a prices for resetting the unit. I followed the steps. I don’t recall the steps right now.

I have a 2021 R7 with Garmin factory glass dash. The water temp appears to not be working properly for the lake water temp. It just holds one temp during the entirety of the trip. The depth moves appropriately. I’m trying to determine if the transducer is going bad. Thoughts?


I did a hard reset ...

I went through the steps the Garmin chat gave me and no joy. The option was not available in my Garmin unit to deselect RPM rounding.

Increments of 10 could be really beneficial, good call.

I just chatted with Garmin and they said there is a setting for RPM rounding and to turn it off. I will try that this weekend.

Is there a way to change the RPM increment from 50 to 1? When I bump the throttle up or down the RPM changes in blocks of 50 (750-800 or 3800-3850) and i’d like it a bit more refined.

Welcome and congrats!

That A25 is a beautiful boat and really high end finishes. I prefer the R series to the A series, but that is just me. The Chap is a good boat, but it will never be a Cobalt.

I see VP is now running their 10w-40, but previous 380 (6.0L) ran the 25w-40 oil. Anyone have thoughts on running the 25w in the newer 6.2L 380? With the load on the engine it seems like a good idea to run the 25w oil.

I found the sticker and pulled everything thing I need except confirmation of oil capacity. I’ll roll with 7.5qts.

Thanks. I have the 2021 6.2L

I have the actual VP manual. It states 7.5qts. It does not give any part numbers for the filters, etc. nor does it indicate oil weight. I will check the sticker on the coolant expansion tank next time I am out to see what details it might display.

Am I missing something or does the manual just not cover the oil requirements that well? No oil weight. No filter part numbers. No oil capacity info. The only thing I see is it says the V8 has 7.5qts. I am not super comfortable with that little information.

Great choice. That Volvo 380 is an amazing engine and you won’t regret it.
