Cobalt Boats Forum

I usually use https://www.volvopenta.com/shop/ to find parts. You can enter your engine or drive serial #, then look up parts diagrams to identify the specific parts you need. For purchase, both https://www.cecilmarineonline.com/ and https://discountvolvopentaparts.com/index.php?route=common/home ar...

I installed electric Lenco on my A28 last year (Lenco 12x9 tabs and actuators 10995-103) and love them. 12x12 is likely appropriate, per comments above. Highly recommend paying the few extra dollars to get the switch with LED indicator so you know position of tabs.

Welcome to the forum, Izzybo69

Sounds like you have a wealth of knowledge!

Fund spending other people's money :-) ......But yes, the newer boat sounds like it checks more boxes - immaculate, swim platform, walkthrough, cleaner mechanical history (theoretically) and overall newer design. Put this together and the cost gap overtime will likely close due to maintenance and de...

Take a look at the 'A25 Trim Tabs' conversation. This has much of the information you need, including the 'Cobalt Special Order' part numbers from Lenco.

I had the same issue a few weeks ago when I got my boat back from storage. Turned our my batteries (only one year old) were not holding a change and the low voltage message would kick on. Replaced the batteries and have not seen the message since. How long does it take for your batteries voltage to ...

Thanks NautiWeasel My assumption is that it's prewired.

Mccoy38 Can you please confirm if you were able to use an existing wiring harness from the factory? Curious if these boats are pre-wired, meaning I can tap into wiring harness inside engine box that runs to helm. Appears there are extra wiring harneses/not used and curious if any are for tabs.

It's been a long, wet and cold Spring here in the Seattle area. Pic is from the first launch of the season. Really looking forward to a great season!

Milkerson10 Your work looks great, what products did you use?

Milkerson10 Your work looks great. What products did you use?

I've used many non-bleach based products. Last season we used a tablespoon of powder Tide and hot water. This solution lifted the black mildew right off the seats easier and faster than any expensive product I've ever used. Then wiped the seats down with clean warm water, dried and finished with 303...

LordEdward, Curious, what made you find a 2yr old thread and come in so strong?

...And what's the story behind your profile name?

Thanks for the info McCoy. I called Cobalt and it's the same PNs. I'll order thru Hodges....

McCoy38 This is super helpful. I've been thinking about adding trim tabs to my A28. I had them on my 272 and really utilized them (same conditions you mentioned). I'll call to verify, but assume I can use the same package as you. Curious, are these electric or hydraulic? Do you have a 8.1L or 6/6.2L...
