Cobalt Boats Forum

Yes all the wiring is intact for the captains call even if the boat was not installed with CC from the factory. Ordered our R7 and visited the factory and that was one of the many of our questions that were answered.

We use all the Bling products and it has kept our entire boat looking great. Worth a try

Are you talking about the lanyard that is the kill switch attached to the throttle assembly ? I don’t have outboards on my R7 and may be different on your boat but on our boat the engine will die if it’s pulled out as it should if you fall overboard. However you are able to restart your engine but ...

I agree with you so far as preferring the odd R series than the new R’s. So I guess we are in the minority.

Don’t have a power jack on my trailer but I do have a power winch to pull our boat back on the trailer. I was told that the winch I have draws to much for the 7 way plug, your jack probably draws less than a winch and would check to see what it’s rated on your vehicle. I actually ran cables from the ...

Price ?

Unfortunately you are going to pay more for the sea deck than the swim step if you buy from Cobalt. They only sell the sea deck in complete sets. We have an R7 and it was over 900.00 you may be able to get it from an outside source at a little more reasonable cost.

I have stored our boat on the trailer for the winter since new without any issues. We have it wintered every year and shrink wrapped. I wish I had a garage to store it in you are lucky. The only addition thing I do is jack the trailer up and put on stands and remove the four tires and get stored in ...

From the looks of that it appears that any fiber glass shop should be capable of making a permanent repair. I have had a repair done on my R7 swim platform on the edge. They are also available to be purchased thru a Cobalt dealer for around $ 350.00

The boat will start because if the person is overboard you want the remaining people on board to start engine and be able to rescue person overboard.

Call Gordys marine depending on the year they may still be available from Cobalt.

They do provide seat skins replacements, I ordered a complete set for our boat in anticipation that they become unavailable. Cobalt only supports replacement parts for 5 -7 years so unfortunately it may not be available. I called Tom from Gordys marine who helped me with the skins. Check with him ...

You are correct that the outdrive cannot be mounted in a different position. They are bolted to a housing on the boat and only controlled up or down by your trim. I cannot speak on props not that familiar with that. Others on this site will speak on that I’m sure.

Yes Tom is the best ! Ordered replacement emblems and lettering for our R7 he goes above and beyond in service.

Our Dealer was commissioning a new Cobalt ( not ours) and on sea trial engine let go cracking the block Catastrophic failure like yours. I spoke with the disappointed owner and he explained without any hesitation the dealer pulled an engine out of a new cobalt that was the same and put it in the new ...
