Fuel level question 2015 220

Got a chance to take the boat out this weekend and having issue with the fuel gauge. I put about 4 gallons of fuel in (on the water) and it seemed full (pump on my gas can cut off) but the fuel gauge shows close to E and the digital gauge showed R 1.2 and L 0. I'm guessing that there may be a fuel ...

Re: 2015 220 Mooring cover question

The problem is that no matter how much I loosen the rachet it will not fit under the rub rail.

2015 220 Mooring cover question

I got the mooring cover from my Cobalt dealer about a yr ago and I can not get it to fit correctly. The boat is on a sling lift and under cover so it isn't super important that it fits super tight but it still bothers me that I paid $1200 bucks for a cover that isn't right. No matter what I do the ...

Re: Blower not working 2015 220

I checked the connection to the blower motor and it is plugged in. It can't really see where the wire leads so I guess it is back to service. I sure don't know how they work on these things. I can't get my old body in there to even look around! I didn't check the circuit breaker but I am assuming it ...

Blower not working 2015 220

Just got my boat back from service (engine pull, new oil pan, dipstick, starter, motor mounts, knock sensor) and the blower is not coming on. The light on the dash lights up but no blower. Before I take it back up to Legendary was wondering if anyone might know of some simple things to check first ...

Re: Oil Leak on Volvo Penta V8 225hp

Still waiting for them to pull the motor. Only have 2 techs at the moment. As far as I know the only thing that knew was corroded was the dipstick tube. Will check everything else out when they pull the motor.

Re: Oil Leak on Volvo Penta V8 225hp

After four weeks of waiting to get boat looked at, I am being told that the oil dipstick tube is corroded and the leak is coming from there. Have to pull the engine to replace. 10 hrs labor to pull and replace engine. I asked them to give me an estimate on replacing the oil pan and motor mounts ...

Oil Leak on Volvo Penta V8 225hp

I have a 2015 220 with the 225hp Volvo V8. Just got it last summer. Ran great all summer. Put the cover on it for the winter and just got it out last week for a trip to the lake. Noticed an oily drip from the drain plug. Checked the bilge to find oil residue in bilge. Checked the oil and didn't even ...

Re: Bimini hard to fold

The back two poles connect to two angled poles that go to the center of the bimini. I have to disconnect the angled pole to fold the bimini down to get the cover on. These are the one i have trouble with. It is a very tight fit until you get one out.

Advice for 2015 220 stereo upgrade

Swapped out the Sony head unit last summer with one that had bluetooth support and it sounds pretty good with the stock speakers. I don't like having to open the glove box see what source the unit is on. Was thinking about upgrading to a head unit that could replace the Sony remote at the helm. Any ...

Bimini hard to fold

The bow and cockpit covers that came with my 220 don't go around the bimini poles so I have to fold it down to put them on. It is very hard to get the spring clips out of the holes. Usually requiring two people and sometimes a hammer. Any idea if that is normal or could the poles be bent? Also takes ...

2015 220 radio replacement

Can anybody help me get the radio out of my 2015 220. It has the rear facing seat that flips up. There are some carpet covered panels that cover the bottom for the radio but I don't really see how to get the out. Any tips?

Re: Quick stereo wiring question


I've basically done what Aslan is describing too - replacing things in phases, with this summer's project being a six channel amplifier, each driving a new speaker using newly-run speaker wire. Not a massive project, but a big upgrade in sound quality.

Head unit alone should be easier - maybe a ...
