So glad you found us cwb….1

I’d start with the easy items first like fresh gas; new fuel filter and clean the flame arrestor.

It may be a fuel pump or fp module relay issue . The VP 8.1 Gi is known for fuel pump issues. A failing pump or relay may not build pressure quickly, requiring multiple ...

So glad you found us mustangsally.

Like John mentioned above, unfortunately under the banner now of Malibu, these disappeared and are no longer printed.

Keep us posted if you run across any.

And welcome aboard mate.

I saw this one as well, jmd. He has the WSS model and I believe he’s looking for ballast tank and surf operations in the manual. I was not able to find that for him.


Cobalt never put much regarding these systems in ...

Sometimes your local Cobalt dealer can obtain these for you. Hopefully someone here can post one but being that the WSS is a rarer model, that might be tough.

Keep us posted.

Whenever I change my outdrive fluid, the reservoir bottle often gets low or empty during the first outing. I just top it off and it is usually good for the rest of the season.

Sometimes there is air in the line/outdrive or most likely it needed to be topped off when the outdrive was ...

OOOhhh...that's lookin' good X..

That reservoir is for your outdrive fluid. If it's milky, you have water intrusion in the outdrive. If it's empty, it is leaking from the outdrive or most likely from a line within the engine compartment somewhere. Get a bright flashlight and investigate.

What's the depth of that sub? The subs we had installed on our 262 and 263 were in the passenger side footwell under the gunwale which worked great. Is there not room in the pic below?

You're welcome.
Another option is to order the bolts of vinyl through your Cobalt dealer and have a local car interior shop or similar redo that cushion. We used an Amish seamstress as well as a retired furniture repair person redo a couple of our cushions. You'll have to do some research to find ...

In the past we’ve been able to go through our local Cobalt dealer who was able to drop ship a roll of vinyl to us from the factory.

Any pics?

I agree. Beautiful work.

So glad you found us, HOMAN.

I have not seen anyone sand those panels down. You would have to figure out how to get the labels back on there as well. I think the company in Florida is a good option and folks have had success with them. Have not seen that posted lately though. Keep us apprised ...

So glad you found us, David.

You will be able to use 3/4” stainless screws to mount the stainless foot tread. Any stereo or other wiring that may be above the footwell location will be out of the way. It may get hot though if you are in a constantly sunny location and have bare feet.

Have you ...

I did b58. Actually I’ve flown almost every model of KC135 including the T models which were specifically configured to refuel the SR71. (man I’m old) :roll:

The yaw damper was installed in the 1990’s to counteract Dutch roll tendencies due to the swept back wings. The swept back wings helped to ...
