Cobalt Boats Forum

You should try to add a photo - 367 hours and stored indoors will probably look a whole lot different than people expect for a boat that's over 20 years old.

This is on a throttle control that's a bit different from yours, but the adjustment should be similar -

Now it really needs a second tow hook to complete the look

Nice work and great boat, AC7!

Lowes has some pretty decent multimeters for the price of a meal out - check out this Klein model (a pretty reputable brand) for $29 https://www.lowes.com/pd/Klein-Tools-Di ... 5014306079

There should always be one or more breakers between the battery and any load devices. We'd have to know how your batteries are wired to be sure, but there's a good chance there's a breaker or a battery disconnect switch somewhere that's part of the problem.

Great story and pics, 282 - thanks for sharing!

Welcome back for the second time (or was it three?) !!

Sorry for all the hassles and tribulations.

I’m glad you finally made it over here. It seems the forum traffic is reduced from years past. For some unfathomable reason, the Cobalt Facebook group is getting tons and tons of posts everyday. Go ...

The first time you post as a new user, it will shut you down if you make a bunch of posts (more than two or three, I think) before you've been approved, which usually takes a day. Just wanted you to know it's not intentional but is an automatic anti-spam tool measure we had to turn on due to all the ...

I checked your previous profile and it's not banned - please reach out to me with whatever problems/error messages you're getting, and I'll try to fix it.

I don't think you were banned - we require the first couple posts to be approved before they're posted to keep from being destroyed by spam bots who flood dozens of posts before being caught.

In other words, if you make a new profile and make a bunch of posts, it will hold your posts for approval ...

If you can remove the lock and take it to a locksmith, some are talented enough to make a key for a lock without having another key using a process called "impressioning" where they file the key down based on marks left by the pins when they try to turn the key against the locked lock.

Sounds like it's probably a bad ECU, which really requires a tow in to the dealer to fix (hopefully under warranty).

I don't have an R33, but I'd check out the panel shown on p. 67 of the owner's manual at https://www.cobaltboats.com/sites/site.cobaltboats.dv.docwp1.stark-host.com/files/2026-05/2026_A29_R30_R33_R33Surf_R33OB_R35_R35OB_OM.pdf

It's not a great manual, but it suggests it may be in the cabin behind ...

I am a big fan of going with more power out the gate on the amplifier so you can add on another woofer later. In most applications a quality amp will be the most costly item in the system. Getting the expense done once and right will save money and headache down the road if upgrading.
