Re: Cleaning products

I'll add that the 303 mold and mildew cleaner + blocker is a great thing to have on hand. It's hard getting mold/mildew out of vinyl, but this does as well as anything I've seen.

Re: 1998 Cobalt 220 wiring schematic

Cobalt is usually happy to provide one if you reach out, but I don't know of any that have been posted here yet. Boats that old didn't have basic schematics in the owner's manuals either, so the manual on the Cobalt website isn't likely to help you much. If you have a specific question, someone here...

Re: 2007 Cobalt 252 w/brand new engine

You'll get $50k for that, no problem, once weather warms up and people start spending time on the lake. I wouldn't come down until at least July if I were you. Best of luck with your sale!

Edit - it does seem to work on the mobile app, but not on the web page on mobile. I had to manually copy the short link to get it to work via the web page on mobile.

Re: Let's see your Tow rigs with your boat!

That's a long wheelbase, too, which makes for smooth towing. Looks like you're all set to move up to an R30 ;)

Re: Red fluid in the blige! NOT COOLANT!!

Can you tell if it's sweet like coolant or stinky like hydraulic fluid? Hard to guess, but the fact that there's red fluid squirting from your hydraulic cylinder makes me want to think it's leaked out over time and collected, coloring whatever else is in the bilge.

Re: New to me 2023 CS22 and First time boat owner

Welcome to the forum, Seabalt! I wouldn't worry much about the duoprop. You do get a bit better "bite" on the water, but I suspect you won't miss it in a CS22. If it makes you feel any better, I have a V8-225 on my 21' Cobalt, and have never wished for more top-end horsepower. I just don't...

Re: Hello from ARGO 2004 Cobalt 360

Welcome Argo! Nice boat - it would be fun to see some photos of the inside as well. Sorry if you were in new-member limbo for a bit - we had a problem with verification emails going out that has hopefully been permanently resolved. We used to use Gmail, but they kept changing security for remote app...

Re: Cost comparison using Gas Consumption

I wonder how much of the change in Naples will revert once boomers are gone and there aren't Gen X or Millenials or whatever behind them to buy all their real estate and other stuff. Could be interesting times.

Re: Finally got an R5 and have a couple of questions

It sounds like the high and low pressure pumps themselves are Carter pumps, and they can be swapped into the fuel pressure pump assembly fairly easily once you've removed paint from the interior surfaces. Of course this guy will do it all for you for $500 or so - https://mancavemechanic.com/

Re: Approximate Tongue Weight of R6

Tongue weight is entirely dependent on how you configure your trailer. An R6 weights 5800lb dry, and with a full tank of gas (60 gallons) and a few little things like an anchor would be 6300lb plus. Add your trailer weight (guessing 1400 lb?) and you can ballpark 7700lb total weight being towed. If ...
