Re: Recall Notice - Dometic Steering Rack

Fortunately I haven't received that letter for my 2021 R6. I received the anti-siphon valve recall letter last October. Hopefully it's a quick fix for the steering issue.

Re: New Member and I purchased a Cobalt R6

I store the umbrella in the storage area where I keep the skis. Plenty of room. I won't use it if it's too windy.

Re: New Member and I purchased a Cobalt R6

The table looks great! If you're looking to add some shade, I purchased an umbrella adaptor that fits perfectly into the ski pylon area.

Re: New Member and I purchased a Cobalt R6

Looking forward to seeing another R6 on Lake Allatoona. As of today the lake is only 2 ft below full pool so boating season is just about here!

Re: R6 bow filler cushion

Great idea. How do you purchase the cushion? From a dealer or directly from Cobalt?

Re: Winterization Gen 5 Volvo Penta

Check out this response I received from Volvo Penta a few weeks ago regarding the Easy Drain system. I asked them how to purchase the maintenance manual that shows how to winterize the engine by running marine antifreeze through the raw water system. That's how the dealer winterized my engine last F...

Re: R6 dash lights

My R6 dash lights only illuminate when one of the lighting buttons is activated but I can't remember which function illuminates all the buttons. Next time I go out at night I'll pay more attention and let you know. I have never seen a dimmer switch for the dash buttons. However, you can dim the Garm...

Re: Winterization Gen 5 Volvo Penta

My R6 is on a lift. After draining the system and leaving it open to drain, if there was any remaining water that did not drain, it would freeze and expand towards the open end of the system, correct? Same theory applies to opening the outdoor water faucets in the winter when I lived up north. We wo...

Re: Surf boat lift?

Speaking of lifts, how do you determine the proper spacing of the bunks for an R6? When the marina installed my HydroHoist lift, I'm not sure the bunk spacing is correct.

Re: Soft Trac material on both sides of drop down swim step?

The boat did not come with the soft trac. It was installed after I purchased it. The installer was HydroDeck Marine Flooring (www.hydrodeck.com) located in the Atlanta area. I've had to clean it a few times from dirty feet and it cleans-up great. Very happy so far.

Re: Soft Trac material on both sides of drop down swim step?

It can be done. Our installer used a thinner piece of the same material so the step could close properly. If it's too thick, it won't close.

Re: Towing from R5 Arch with Bimini

I know the R6 Surf has the ability to tow a skier or wakeboarder from the tower pylon, and I'm hoping the R6 (non-surf) has that same capability but I can't find any reference in the R6 owners manual. Does anyone know for certain? I don't want to damage my anchor light and tower.

Is anyone relying on the Volvo Penta Easy Drain system?
