Cobalt Boats Forum

I'll trace the loop and check all the seals. I'm flummoxed as well. I spent all day on it yesterday but might have to tip my cap and know when I'm bested, take the L and just bring it in to service. I'll update as soon as there is a conclusion. Thanks for the ideas.

Yes, changed the entire pump. The impeller was in solid shape, no broken pieces, nothing that would show any kind of damage, Its strange. I'm thinking maybe a manifold sensor gone bad or something.

Wondering if anybody else has had this happen to them and any ideas on how to repair. 2012 Cobalt 296 Starboard side engine temp rises quickly when 1/2 throttled to over 200 degrees and engine goes into 2 alarms (coolant temp and exhaust temp) safety limp mode. However, when it is idled or low ...

Thanks AJ. That's a great suggestion as a temporary summer fix. I appreciate you sending that.

Thanks for the info. I think I may have to go that route too and suck up a summer of non shade until it comes in. I'm looking at the Blade as well. I'll just have everyone hold an umbrella that doesn't want sun.....

I have twin Volvos 5.7 with 320 HP. After I figure out the wakeboard tower, I have ...

New to the forum. Just bought a 2012 296 a month ago. Never had a Cobalt before so I'm excited. There isn't any type of canopy of arch on the boat so I'm looking for suggestions on what type of wakeboard tower I could install. I want to put something more sleeker on the boat than a traditional ...
