Cobalt Boats Forum

I am a new owner of a 2020 Cobalt R5 Surf with the Glass Cockpit - Garmin 7607. I had to go through a Lake Tahoe boat inspection to put it on the lake. One of the inspections was running hot water through the engine - I had to run the engine obviously to do this. I was trying to find the gauge ...

I do have one more question. If the raw water side has been drained for the winter, what is the process to put water back into it prior to starting the engine to avoid the dry impeller? There must be a process given draining the raw water part of the cooling system is common practice to winterize ...

Thank you all for your answers - very helpful!

Unfortunately, they are unable to send new hang tags. They also suggested the statement of facts but the DMV turned that down. After going through all ...

My challenge is the boat is already stored for the winter. The DMV did not make it sound like bring the boat to the DMV was required but they really were not very helpful on what was necessary. I am hoping someone has gone through this before in CA that can direct me on what is required.

I recently purchased a 2020 R5 Surf out of state and have a question about registering the boat and getting the title in California. California naturally was more than happy to take my sales tax but they will not give me the registration or more importantly the title to the boat until I have the CA ...
