2015 R5 Transom Remote

I switched out the original RF helm remote and transom remote with the newer style PMX-1R. The transom remote won't clear the engine hatch vinyl. Does anyone know if Cobalt changed the thickness of the engine hatch vinyl to accommodate the knob on the PMX-1R? The old round flat transom remote won't work with the new system, the pin connector is a different style. Thanks

We really like our RF remotes with dedicated sub volume controls. My only complaint is that larger knob that sticks out. We had to modify our transom remote location because of this. That thread here. :idea:

Thanks for the thread link. I've seen a picture of an R5 surf with a remote back by the swim platform below the rear seat, but the 2016 or 17 and up (whenever they changed to the new style RF remotes) all have the transom remote in this location.
