Re: Hello from ARGO 2004 Cobalt 360

Re: Hello from ARGO 2004 Cobalt 360
I've seen the same things with weights probably 1200 lbs of fuel so maybe that's the difference between 13,700 and 15,000. I think mines about 12500 dry so probably 13,500 with fuel but who really knows. We use the floating lifts at lake of the ozarks and i have a 17000lb lift which dosent seem to have much room left as my boat sits now!

New lit buttons instead of the old switches. I memorize them by color as can not read during the dark.

Re: Hello from ARGO 2004 Cobalt 360
Autopilot install required the replacement of old mechanical steering for new hydraulic Seastar steering.
1. Seastar Helm HH6192-3
2. Seastar cylinder HC5328-3
3. Seastar hoses 22 ft (20 ft would suffice) HO5122
4. Seastar hoses 4 ft (2 ft would suffice) HO5104
5. Seastar T-connectors
6. Raymarine Type 1 pump M81120
7. Seastar hydrolic fluid 3 qt HA5430H
8. Raymarine course computer EV-1
9. Raymarine actuator control unit ACU-200
10. Raymarine head unit P70Rs
11. Raymarine Rudder Position Sensor M81105
... and lotsa of PITA !
Boat steers smooth and responsive - much better then the old rack and pinion mechanical steering but the autopilot is not functional for now - pump working but not driving outdrives nither to Port not to Starboard...... troubleshooting....

Re: Hello from ARGO 2004 Cobalt 360
switched to Hill Signature 22 pitch 4 by 4 from 20 pitch. Speed went up to 50 mph but rpm dropped to 4600 (this is still within WOT range recommended by Mercruiser). I am not very concerned with speed as this is a heavy boat (maybe 7 ton=15400).
