FH4 Prop ID

I've got FH4 props on my 232 and I'm looking for a spare set. I've found thru a buddy buddies but the ID number is slightly different. The difference is mine both end with a "DB" (FH4 FRONT3885850 DB). His ends with a CG for the rear and a CB for the front. Anybody know what if any the difference is?

Re: Digital gauge icon

Thought that’s what it is but couldn’t find any confirmation in the manuals. Plus I couldn’t say for sure if it was there before or not so I figured I’d ask. Thanks

Digital gauge icon

Anybody know what this icon to the left of the hours is? Boat runs fine, no check engine light, normal temp and oil pressure.

Re: OEM Cover Replacement

Dealer wants $1550 for one. My local boat mechanic that specializes in Cobalts recommended a a guy that makes the same style custom fit out of Sunbrella. He can also get one from Outer Armor for the same price as the dealer. The custom guy can adjust the size to make it cover the sides below the rub ...

Re: OEM Cover Replacement

I tried commercial sewing. They only sell to dealers. So I guess I’m stuck with my dealer.

OEM Cover Replacement

I'm sure it's been brought up before but couldn't find anything on it. I need to replace my cover for my 2013 232. Whats the best option for getting a new one?

Re: Stereo System Upgrade - JL or Wetsounds


Justchillin, Looks great! I am going to add a sub, I just want to get everything else installed first. then add the sub. What all did you buy for your Stereo Audio system install? How did you wire your amps to run the speakers?

I’d do it all at once while you have the bulkhead off the port ...

Re: Stereo System Upgrade - JL or Wetsounds

Cutting the hole for the sub is easy. I’d recommend a rotozip with a tile bit and the circle cutting attachment. Practice on a pice of scrap wood to get the proper size hole. Tape off the area and measure where you want to drill the center hole. Insert the rotozip circle attachment and start cutting ...

Re: 232 trim gauge

I’ve got a Volvo. I had some post season work done, typical end of year stuff. One of the items was replacing the hydraulic trim cylinders. The drive itself moves the full range up and down. The indicator shows full down when it’s down and part way up when it’s full up.

I mentioned it to the ...

232 trim gauge

Question about the trim gauge indications. How far up should the trim gauge show with the drive full up? Mine shows full down with it down but I’m guessing it’s off a little in the full up position.

Re: The Nauti influenced stereo upgrade.

Yep that’s correct sub on 5&6 with the remote level and towers on 1&2.

I saw JLs YouTube video on it and read it in the amps manual. Looks pretty simple.

On another note I survived cutting a big ass hole in my boat lol.

Re: The Nauti influenced stereo upgrade.



Amp 2 - Set to Six channel mode so each channel has its own input. Channels 1 - 2 are bridged for the sub. They have a dedicated set of RCA's from the head unit sub output. I then used Y Adapters to split the other head unit output into four channels. Channels 3 - 4 are bridged for one tower, 5 ...
