Cobalt Boats Forum

What was the total cost and did you install it yourself?

This is probably gonna be a tough one but figured if anyone would know it would be someone within this forum. I have a 2001 262 with the arch. I just remove the arch to have some paint work done to it and it is held on by five nuts on each side. Anyone have any idea what the torque spec on those ...
