Opinions on Seadek/similar for swim “step”

Hi Folks,

Hope the winter treated you all well, currently catching up on all the projects I’ve put off while I was throwing myself off mountains 🎿

So far, I’ve replaced my existing head unit with the Fusion RA70. Quite the upgrade all else being equal. I also opted for their Bluetooth remote and ...

Re: Power Steering Pump 98 7.4 Mag

Likely I'm willing to give it a shot considering I could buy 5 of them for the price of a new one.

Power Steering Pump 98 7.4 Mag

Hey folks,

Been a little MIA over here, working and out enjoying the beautiful weather we've been having. Hope everyone is happy, healthy, and putting some serious hours on their Cobalts! I know I sure was, until a crack in my power steering pump housing blasted power steering fluid all over the ...

Re: May 2020 Pics


Iowariverrat, how does that 220 handle the rough water? I've always liked the looks of them, but wondered how they would handle chop.


Kyle,

She does pretty well through the rough stuff if you hit it right, can be a bit of a bruiser if I’m tentative or am going slower when I’ve got non-boaters ...

Re: May 2020 Pics

Loving seeing everyone on the water, been MIA for a few weeks because it’s been work and straight to the water.

Fought through some sluggishness with a new set of plugs and wires (I’m telling you they shoe horned this big block in; shout-out to Blake at CLM for loaning a clutch socket driver when ...

Re: 360 and the Stable is FULL

Looks like you've got quite the setup, Smokes. That thing is gorgeous and looks like it could comfortable entertain an army. What were your main reasons for switching from the 343? I've got to say, that's probably my favorite Cobalt design though the cockpit seems like it would be difficult to have ...

Re: Bow Filler Cushion Support Bracket


Check out Kendor Marine and see if they have what your looking for. They stock a lot of stuff (might not be exact, but maybe you could replace both sides).

Too each his own on the speakers. BUT, I finally did mine, added some power, and then a sub, and then some more power lol. Best move I ever ...

Bow Filler Cushion Support Bracket

Hi All,

Got my bow filler cushion cleaned up and installed for the first time, and this nice little plastic bracket fell apart in my hands. Has anyone replaced these and knows where to find them, or am I stuck with trying to glue it back together?

Re: LED Upgrade - Phase 1

The more I think of it, though, for the courtesy lighting in the rear and hatch, it might just make sense to run one led strip light under the gunwales in the rear, through the perimeter of the engine hatch (using the existing wiring for the engine compartment bulb once removed) and up the other ...

Re: LED Upgrade - Phase 1

Thanks guys, I've got a fever and the only prescription is more LED lighting.....we do a ton of night boating so it will get plennnnty of use.

As far as RGB controllers I'm still up in the air. My tentative plans are as follows:


Replace existing courtesy lights w/ LED * done

Install additional ...

Re: LED Upgrade - Phase 1

Here's round 2 of pics. Showed through a bit on the vents which is cool (no photo), but I can see with the RGB I'm going to have to get a bit more creative for the desired effect. Overall, pleased with the investment.

LED Upgrade - Phase 1

Hi All,

Got a little present in the mail this afternoon. These will be for courtesy lighting, going to do RBG in addition but liked the ability to switch on clean white light when necessary and it was a cheap/easy switch with existing hardware. Never been so excited for it to get dark...

Thinking ...

Re: Hello from the Hawkeye State


Awesome! Couple Bird hunters here, me included. I run a couple labs and a bloodhound. Hope you get access to that property since you bought a dog from him! :)


Very cool! I'm excited to get him out this year, it's been really cool watching him mature and start to grasp things. Yep, full access ...
