Cobalt Boats Forum

I have a 2019 but the controls changed somewhere around this time. Can you send a picture of your controls?

I had issues with my brothers '20 R5 where a channel that went out on the AMP as well, though he didn't have the Platinum Sound, one step down I believe?
I just put two sets of speakers going to the same channel. Not Ideal but cheaper than replacing the Amp.
Do you know where the AMP is? He had ...

Just my 2 cents, and I am not dialed in on pricing. But I feel like the current price to move an R7 is right around 100k.
You can also talk to your dealer and see if they would do a consignment sale? Maybe go ahead and talk to a broker and see what they would price it at. Probably the move expensive ...

I spend time on Norris with the same issue. Skip the cell phone booster, that would just by range to the next tower, if there is a mountain blocking your signal no amount of boost will get through it. I tried these years ago at my house on the lake before I was able to get internet.
I use a Garmin ...

I am not sure they ever use Kevlar Stringers, they are still doing the Kevlar Reinforced Hull.

I assume they are Garmin displays? If so download active captain and update them. I know somewhere around the 2020/2021 time frame they updated mine to make it boot up significantly faster when I start the boat. I am sure there are a LOT of updates since 2017

I would make them replace it each year until the warranty runs out. Then decide a path forward. That is horrible though.

WOW! What brand does cobalt use? That definitely looks like a Quality issue from the MFG.

As for the sitting water, you should never have to worry about water sitting on the floor of your boat. I self installed sea deck 7 years ago and have had 0 problems. I only clean it twice a year. Dogs, kids ...

LOL, sorry, I don't know what I was thinking, the water temp has always worked, it was the AIR temp that I never had. Just forget I was here!

But if it is the radio too, I would think it is the battery. You have two batteries, one is for your engine to start and the other runs your Garmin and Radio. When you turn the boat battery on do you turn both on? Try swapping battery one with battery two, I wonder if the boat will have Garmin's but ...

I have a 2019, and I know they stopped including the water temp on mine, I even had it in their marketing docs that it is supposed to be there and Cobalt replied that they hadn't gotten around to updating the marketing docs yet.

What do you mean you did a Hard reset?

That is right about the time they stopped adding them. I assume this is on the Garmin touch screen? Last time I looked for them on Garmin there were somewhere around $150. I decided it wasn't worth it.

When we bought our Cobalt the sales manager said that any options we don't get they can add on later, with the exception of a Windlass. Too much risk/issues with reinforcing the proper areas. Sorry, not what you wanted to hear I am sure.

Do you need to worry about it? The typical issue with water is that it freezes and expands and breaks lines and such. if there is just a little bit of water left in an empty ballast and it expands will it break something? Or are there water lines that need to be blown out.
I have never done ...

My kids and I slalom behind our R7, though we always kind of slow down going over the wake. These are definitely NOT designed to be good slalom boats. The wave is nice for getting air on two ski's, we do try to avoid this on one ski though. I am not sure i have ever seen a good slalom boat over ...
