Cobalt Boats Forum

Just following up. I white flagged it and had a tech check it out during the annual service. It turned out to be a loose deustch connector to the sub - hope this helps someone in the future. Thanks for the suggestions.

Just following up. I white flagged it and had a cobalt dealer check it out. He performed a volvo factory shift lever calibration and it now shifts as usual. Much more comforting when coming into dock and you need a little reverse and there's no delay. Thanks for all the suggestions.

Thanks for the welcome! I will start by checking the connection and let you know what I find.

Not sure on the drive being electric. It feels mechanical but ?

Thanks for the advice on the fluid level and type.

2018 R7 subwoofer behind captains seat doesn't seem to be working - Any pointers? All other speakers seem to work normally. tia

2018 R7 380 Volvo Hesitates sometimes when shifting to reverse. If I go slighlty further, then it engages right away. Forward engages normally. No other drive issues, all maintenance up to date. Any pointers? TIA

I won't be back to the boat for a couple of weeks but imagine they were 3' beyond the foot well of your car!

And yes the batteries are buried, especially if you have ballast tanks in there too.

Really. Any chance you could post a pic? I had a pretty good look on my 2018 - no luck.

Picked up a new to me R7. I see the batteries are buried in the engine compartment. Is there a jumping point anywhere on the boat or is a Houdini maneuver required?

thank you

Is there a way to upgrade a 350 to a 380 output or are they different engines
