Cobalt Boats Forum

The shifter moves freely (revs engine) in both forward and reverse. I checked the fluid level in the drive about 20 hours ago and it was full. There are no signs of leaks from the drive. The drive is out of the water on the lift and visual inspection showed nothing. Our lakes are extremely low right...

Hey folks! I have a 2018 CS23 with less than 200 operating hours. I can no longer shift into forward or reverse and have ordered the factory manuals in order to diagnose the issue. The engine starts and revs without issue, therefore the v6-280-c electronic throttle is working fine. I checked all cir...

I finally found the amp in the front passenger compartment. The Cobalt tower was a 3rd party install and the class D amp they used was behind a guard and difficult to identify.

Always have coolers with water and food in Austin Texas because of the heat. The 280 DP feels soft coming out of the hole on b...

Hey Guys,

I have a 2018 CS23 and the tower amp is blown. The speakers check out without issue. This is a Rockford Fosgate system and I've been unable to locate the amps.

Thanks
