Re: Bilge Pump Replace

Look at the size of the tubing leaving the pump, get the largest pump that uses that size tubing, or you will have to replumb it.

Re: 2005 262 Dash Makeover

Kbloom. That looks great! I like how it matches your Gussi wheel. What did you use for the wrap? Where did you purchase it? Thanks.

Re: storage locker pistons need replacing

I ordered some cheaper ones online from somewhere, the end fittings were wrong, I replaced the ends on two of them, sent the rest back when I came upon BacktoBoating.com. They actually had the Attwood ones that matched perfectly. I got the engine hatch number from Cobalt. The 70# for the engine ...

Re: Cobalt 250 covers

Higher than the cheap Chinese no names, but still very inexpensive. About $40 for the largest one for the engine hatch. Spend the money for the Atwood, that’s what Cobalt used on my boat.

Re: storage locker pistons need replacing

I know this thread is old, but Cobalt used Attwood struts. Go to Backtoboating.com, they have a full line of Attwood struts by number and strengths. They are great to deal with. To convert Newtons (N) to pounds, multiply by .225. 0180N is 40 pounds.

Re: 2004 Cobalt 250 engine cover strut

Thank you for the info BBC. Of course, Cobalt doesn’t sell them. I contacted BacktoBoating.com yesterday. They sell Atwood struts. They have the Atwood SL-29-80 struts in stock. That’s the brand that Cobalt put on it originally, so I ordered one. I also went a bit stronger than the 70’s, but the ...

Re: 2004 Cobalt 250 engine cover strut

I just got an answer back from Cobalt. For those who need one, Cobalt says SL-29-70 is the correct one.

Re: 2004 Cobalt 250 engine cover strut

Before I order, can anyone with a similar size Cobalt post the numbers from your gas strut. I need the pressure number, in Newton’s is fine. An 80# strut would say 0355N.
Please help if you can!

I was thinking of my other boat, these are definitely stainless. Sorry for the misinformation… 😔

I believe the rivets are aluminum. You will know when you try to drill them out. I’m doing mine tomorrow, I’ll report what I find out.
