Fyi for those looking for led replacement.
I went on line and printed the manual for my boat and it has all the stock bulbs listed. So i just Google xyz (my stock bulb number) led replacement. Normally this gets me to the right LED. Just have to double check the length of the LED compared to your old bulb.

I guess we're all getting bored.😂
I'm looking for things to do with the boat.
I replaced the stern light the day I saw it was incandescent. I guess the docking lights are next.
Anyone know what the new replacement bulbs are for a late model Cobalt dock light?

Is there any way you Can get one bulb out and show us what it looks like? Plus I'm sure there is a number on it. Unless B had the number lowdown on it already.

Yeah, I’ll pull one later today.. looks like a PITA to pull one..
Might as well see if the rest of the interior lights are incandescent, which I’m sure they are.

I tried to check the manual and I didn't see it. Plus I got distracted looking at the R3
It seems that is what I have to look at to get over 350hp lol 430 or bust :-)
Yes in sure they all are. Don't forget your engine compartment lights. Those were the first ones I changed. I like the ones I added in the storage compartments .

Interior lighting is 100% LED. That's a pleasant surprise.
But I did find a problem. My factory installed Pro Sport20 battery tender isn't working. When I initially pluged it in, everything was perfect. It lit up showing charging, and finally stand by mode. Now, nothing. Power to the unit is good. I did get one light to flicker while messing with it, but now everything is out. 🤔

Looking for a replacement bow light (fixture) for my 2015 Cobalt R7, does anyone know the part # and where I can buy one? Cracked the lens this weekend under my dock.

I accidentally touched mine last weekend, holy moley that thing gets HOT 🥵, like way hotter than any other boat I’ve had. Why is the Cobalt lights so much hotter than any other brand X? LED conversion is a must before the kids accidentally touch it.

That’s what got us to change our nav light to LED. My son accidentally put his hand on top of it while getting the anchor. OUCH. 🔥

Our boat has been totally converted over to LED’s since then. Cobalt is way behind on this simple upgrade.
