Cobalt Boats Forum

Gas prices on the lake are significantly higher than last year but as a leisure craft and one for family and friends bonding time, it will not limit the amount of boating I'd like to do. Last year while still working "remotely" on the lake during covid, I put 170 hours on my then new R6 Surf. Was ...

T - Thanks for the direction. Love the seamless look of the 8600, but doesn’t make very easy to access.

R - Turns out mine came with card as well. Was able to upgrade the Garmins this morning. Thanks for the response.

It’s still throwing error codes (Loss of GPS & Loss of Engine Data Metric ...

I have my R5 on Lake Tahoe which can get very rough. Not needed at all.


I posted elsewhere about this, but when I ordered my R6 Surf (for Tahoe), the dealer strongly recommended against ordering TT's. Sounds like you'd agree with that.

PS, as also posted elsewhere, I am still waiting for my ...

Congrats on that beauty! Looks great in the patriotic color scheme.

I'm very jealous of your calm lake however. My lake feels more like it is an ocean as the wind picks up. Enjoy your new "upgrade" and keep building fantastic memories!

Congrats and love the color + name of the color! Very clean, sharp looking boat!

That’s disappointing as it obviously catches your eye.
I think it’s deserves some clearance as not to rub.

As a group of toured the Cobalt factory , we watched the “ by hand fitting of interior as the Cobalt they were assembling was close.

My fear would be your next panel may not share the same ...

OK this may be a nit for many but for me it is something that I now see on my new R6 Surf that I cannot unsee every time I'm on her. :(

You can see the right edge is high while the left edge is low. It is tilted rather than true to gunwale as it is everywhere else. Close ups of ...

I haven't yet and not sure there's much they can do here to fix it given the design. You can see it in this walkthrough video where the guy is holding onto it all the way shut and it still makes a good thunking noise. If you don't hold it, it will swing downward much quicker with about 30 degrees to ...

R6 Surf. From about halfway down they slam down. Will try cabinet rubber standoffs and see if that helps.

Thanks

Love the pics and the bold red there, TBC! Sharp looking fun machine right there. Enjoy!

Maybe a silly question but wondering if anyone has tried to address this at all. The ice cooler cover/seat cushion and the one opposing it for the storage compartment, trash bin, fire extinguisher - both of these when shutting have resistance until about halfway down then slam shut. When others are ...

Well, we're closing on our 2020 R30 in a couple of weeks and I cannot wait. I haven't even seen it in person yet, and only have a few pics from the factory. It's my first Cobalt and I told my wife it's the last boat we're buying for a long time! This seems like a great forum...I'm looking forward ...

Mine definitely says R6 and not R8 on my R6 Surf. Looks like someone made a mistake and uploaded the wrong model's background image on yours?

Work got crazy busy in a hurry there but checking back in. Thanks everyone for your comments. Appreciate all the great tips, info and wealth of info on this site that is helping me as a Cobalt owner. Dealership continues to be outstanding and helping me whenever needed. I called my service ...

So it has actually been a little over 30 days given I took delivery on April 14th. I've taken her out every chance I had which this time of year here means when the temperature was >66 and mostly clear skies. That translated to roughly 15 times and I have logged over 35 hours on the engine so far ...
