Cobalt Boats Forum

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for an aftermarket bimini for my 2003 240 Cobalt. Any suggestions?

I'm looking for one that matches the factory dimensions so my bimini cutouts on my cover line up correctly.

Thank you all for your recommendations.

Any other suggestions? Auroracancas does not have a pattern available for my boat so they weren't able to help.

Recently my 240's mooring cover ripped to shreds on the highway and I'm in need of a new cover that is waterproof and can be used for towing. Has anyone had any luck with covers from the various websites?

A local place quoted me $1,900 for a custom fit cover. That's more than I want to spend.

The hardest part was deciding where to mount the unit. Cobalt doesn't give us much dash space to play with. Unit works great even when we're flying across the lake.

Did you ever have any luck with answers to your question? What kind of unit/ transducer are you going with? I recently purchased an '01 226 and am thinking about installing one but am new to this and have been trying to research. Any help would be appreciated, thanks! I went with a humminbird Helix...

My props are not stainless. Perhaps the previous owner replaced them.

Thanks for your response. Is it worth the money to upgrade to SS props? I'm running the stock aluminum.

I just had the factory fix my tach, its my assumption its accurate. Given the noise the engine produces it doesn't sound like its anywhere near the top end of its RPM range. The speed is GPS.

I have a 2003 240 with the 6.2 MPI. I'm currently running a Bravo 3, gear ratio 2.20 with a 26p 3 blade on inner & outer prop. I've noticed my WOT is only around 4200 at 55 MPH (GPS). The recommended WOT RPM range for this engine is 4800-5200. Curious what props other people are running with sim...

I have a 2003 240 Cobalt and I'm looking to add a GPS/Fishfinder unit. Has anyone installed their own? If so, where did you mount the transducer? The place I plan to mount it is currently occupied by the factory water temperature sensor. If you could provide pics that would be most helpful.

Thank you very much. That's one thing I'm still shocked is not standard on all cobalts. I will be adding these later this summer.

Collegefund, Do you have pics of your trim tabs? Looking to install my own and would like to see pics for mounting reference. Would you recommend the ones you went with?

Thank you for your detailed response. More pics in the next few weeks. IMG_2168.jpeg

I recently purchased a 2003 240. Love the boat, looking to install trim tabs. What set did you purchase? Do you have any pictures of the install? Have you been happy with the performance of the tabs?
