Rant sorry no parts after 7 years is terrible.

[Big Block Power]

Thanks John I installed the iac muffler it took care of 80% of it. It's funny merc says that fixes it and everyone says Volvo uses a different throttle body. I matched then up and they are the exact same. I talked to my buddy that owns a marina here and they say too Make the 4 throttle body mounting holes larger than the bolts and make the body flush to the intake. I just didn't want to remove it and do that it just seems a bit crude to me. I might do it at the end of the season?

Did you ever end up doing anything else? or just deal with the light whistle? im thinking about adding the "muffler"

What from 2016!!!
Man I just started sleeping after the terrible fight liquid and I had. He still doesn't let it go. So good luck on this one!!!
Oh yes its fixed. I can't hear anything I went deaf!!

The small merc filter helps a bunch. But the shield was the big winner here.

Perhaps at the end of 2021 we should start automatically deleting Cobaltchat posts that are over seven years old

Actually, a lot of these "old" threads from three or four years ago are fun to go back and re-read.

Oh man. The whistle. That might've been our first fight BB.

I know im dusting off an old post.... hopefully no hard feelings lol

This rant deserves a bump. The 7 year rule is just too short a time span for “parts no longer offered”.
Ok, I’ve said my peace.

the R5 is coming up on 7 years... let that sink in.

When i had a four winns in 2015 I was able to order a 1998 canvas from the factory. I just recently got a notification that they were going to stop producing them.

Yeah this just dawned on me that my 2014 R5 is nearly at the 7 year mark... I still feel like it is a new boat to me.

As it’s still in production for trim.. stainless etc I wouldn’t worry yet.
But you may want to set your 7 year timer today

You must be getting the 7 year itch also. I am. I'm going to be watching for these to start popping up on CL soon. Can't wait for these to start hitting the open market.
