Cobalt Boats Forum

Agree with the feedback above. Might also be worth replacing the Idle Air Control (IAC) muffler, which can cause challenges starting and rough idle. Very cheap and easy to fix.

Thanks. The tech inspected the coolant and said it looked good (no gelling, etc) so no need to flush. I'll have then check again next year. Spring can't come soon enough...

Hey All - Got a service / maintenance question for y'all.
Boat is hauled out for full drive service. Curious how often folks flush their coolant in these fresh water cooling engines. VP recommends every 200hrs or every 4 yrs, but I don't hear much about people doing it. People seem to mention engine ...

Love the wood and 2-stroke!

rpeyton welcome to the forum and huge congrats on your new Cobalt, looks like it's been well taken care of.

Not a current forum member, but I'm sure we can 'initiate' them. Buyer is super excited about Cobalt quality and knowledgeable about why A28s are unique (I know I'm bias). They are moving up from a smaller Chaparral and I think the A28 is perfect for them. We had a fantastic final cruise tubing ...

Hey 302 owners, Hoping someone can confirm which Maxwell windlass model came from the factory on 302s. I'm trying to confirm what chain and rope size is compatible. Looking at the Maxwell site, I assume Coablt used the Maxwell RC8 (5/16" chain) but it could also be the smaller RC6 (1/4" chain). Also ...

Nice to meet you WM3, feel free to send me a DM.

JCDRIDGE Indeed, the A28 is a great boat. Still available and I pick it up from indoor winter storage on May 2. Send me a DM and we can connect.

Charger on my 2016 A28 is mounted aft of engine on transom.
