Re: Troubleshooting hydraulic swim platform

Here is a late follow up. After adjusting my bolts thought I had it fixed. Problem recurred this year. Turns out my right hydraulic ram was bad. That is why that side would drop. The left ram was holding up the entire platform. Replaced and all works well now.

Seagrass carpet

Does anyone know where I can find the dark seagrass carpeting sold with 2012-2104 A25 models? I lost both pieces of my walk through carpets. Cobalt now only sells the lighter version and says there supplier no longer makes the dark.

Re: Troubleshooting hydraulic swim platform

Yes. It’s definitely the bolts that are causing the alignment problem. I can’t work on them while boat is on lift. I’ll need to pull her out to fix. I’ll update when I do. Thanks for all the help!

Bilge pump running

Yesterday I turned on my bilge pump and then it wouldn’t stop running. I turned the battery switch to off and pump continued to run. I finally pulled the wire of the fuse to shut it off. I’m guessing I have a stuck float. Does anyone know where the float is on a 2013 A25? The engine was too hot to ...

Bilge pump running

Does anyone know where the float for the bilge pump is located? This weekend I turned on my bilge pump and it wouldn’t shut off. Even with battery switch to off it keeps running. I suspect the float is stuck but couldn’t find it. I had to disconnect the terminal wire to shut it off. A pic of the ...

Thanks 2ridgebacks. Live in Indy but boat on Monroe. I’ve been boating there since I was a kid! I’m unfortunately working this weekend so wife will be down on her own. I’ll have to wait to look at it next weekend

Re: Cobalt A25 vs Regal 26 Fasdeck

Funny story to add. My friend bought that Cobalt from that dealer. He traded in a Regal 2300 with the stepped hull. It rode rough in the water. When skiing everyone would get on my 220 and anchor the Regal😆
After I rode on his A25 I sold my 220 and upgraded to a 2013 A25.
My biased 2 cents, Cobalt ...

Re: Troubleshooting hydraulic swim platform

I’ll get pics next time at boat. It does usually re-center when I bring it up, but sometimes it comes up crooked and I have to lower again and bring back up.
Is the trim hydraulics on same system? I trailered the boat in June when I bought it and the trim did not fall during 12 hour trip.

Troubleshooting hydraulic swim platform

Hello everyone. I'm new to the forum. I just sold my 2012 220 and upgraded to a 2013 A25! I absolutely love the boat! I need a little help troubleshooting a problem. My hydraulic swim platform goes up and down fine, but after I bring it up the starboard side will slip about an inch down. It will ...
