Is there an insert the screws are crewing into, or is it just fiberglass? If it's just fiberglass, I'd think an epoxy-based filler like Devcon would be a good choice, maybe something like

New Monsoon engines
There have been hints that Cobalt is bringing the Monsoon engines (GM/Mercruiser engines) made or tweaked in-house to Cobalt boat soon. They've been doing it with Malibu boats for a while - just curious what info people may have on their adoption into the Cobalt line.

Re: 2021 VP 380 oil Weight
The 40 is the most important number - viscosity when cold is less important, except that a smaller difference between the two numbers means they had to use fewer friction modifiers in the oil and it may wear slightly better. I've been using the 5qt jugs of Mobil 1 15w-50 as long as I've had my boat,...

Re: Starting Stereo/Electronics Upgrade Project
Jwill, No, the Ram mount is plenty strong to lock a Garmin like yours or mine into position. I've been out in some pretty choppy weather, and the chartplotter hasn't moved. It's a great solution if there's not empty space on a dash panel to mount it. I used a metal backing plate behind the fiberglas...

Re: New Member, 2001 226 w/ 8.1Gi
Beautiful boat, and a lot of engine for something that size! I bet it's a blast to drive compared to other 22' boats on the lake.

No way that looks like a 20 year old boat. Nice work, and congrats!

Re: OEM Table Alternative - Cutting Board??
Nice work, guys!
What's the wood Cobalt uses on the dash - Makassar ebony? I could see being extra fancy and trying to match that some day, but for some reason exotic tropical hardwoods aren't getting cheaper.

Re: New R8 Trailer
Are you saying you're trying to sell a trailer? Is it for a 2022 R8? They didn't make the R8 in 2002. Pics would be great, and since Cobalt doesn't make or specify trailers, the brand and model of the trailer will help with a sale as well. If you have a ballpark price, that will be a buyer's next qu...

Re: Stainless ladder considerations and anti-corrosion treatments
If it's going to be submerged in salt water for days at a time, I don't think I'd go with anything that's 304 stainless. I'm sure an anti-corrosion spray would help some, but it's still putting band-aids on a wound that will never heal. Do you have a link to the ladder? Someone here may know of an a...

Re: Cleaning products
I'll add that the 303 mold and mildew cleaner + blocker is a great thing to have on hand. It's hard getting mold/mildew out of vinyl, but this does as well as anything I've seen.

Re: 1998 Cobalt 220 wiring schematic
Cobalt is usually happy to provide one if you reach out, but I don't know of any that have been posted here yet. Boats that old didn't have basic schematics in the owner's manuals either, so the manual on the Cobalt website isn't likely to help you much. If you have a specific question, someone here...

Re: 2007 Cobalt 252 w/brand new engine
You'll get $50k for that, no problem, once weather warms up and people start spending time on the lake. I wouldn't come down until at least July if I were you. Best of luck with your sale!
