Merc 6.2MX? Good?

Trying to do some research on a boat with twin 6.2MX drives (Bravo 3). I have heard some folks talking about issues throwing rods. Any experience or tips would be helpful. I have mostly big block experience, or LS-based volvo.

Why is Captain's Call no longer an option?

For years when building a boat you could factory order Captains call, even in the catalytic converter era of now. I don't see that Cobalt has it as an option on the new R8- don't see it on the Chaparral build site either. Dealer says it would have to be a custom dealer option. ??

Would you guys spend the money on new letters or just debadge ...

Very sweet Zach.

And yes, you can lift the hatch off the rams. The platform just lays on top of the two ram platforms.

Your carpet looks sharp.

How is she powered?

Thanks! Carpet is new 2 years ago. Volvo 8.1gi. Runs good.

Re: How far should 262 engine hatch open?

So I can lift it beyond the point at which the rams are maxed out? What happens to the rams at that point?

Pics attached! If it’ll let me. I just bought it Friday, need to clean it up this week.

How far should 262 engine hatch open?

Proud new owner of a 2002 262...power engine hatch by Bennett. How high should it go up? It goes up really slow and then it seems like I barely can squeeze in there to work on things. Does anyone have a measurement of the opening? It looks like Cobalt has provided a manual rod that folds down as a ...
