That does indeed sound very encouraging. Promises are one thing; corrective action is quite another. But sounds like they are committed to fixing your issues and that's a great start. Hoping for the best!

Thank you. Of course, right after they agreed to come down, I received the attached certified letter from Cobalt. What else are they going to get wrong?

manufactured with one or more blower motors improperly oriented.
Your boat's blowers, designed to help circulate air through the bilge area and remove any
flammable gasoline vapors, are vital safety components of your boat and should always be run

oriented correctly, it is possible that running the blowers) may not provide enough air
circulation to remove all vapors from the bilge area.
