Cobalt Boats Forum

How about a free 2005 262 if ya buy the swim platform? See my listing in for sale. This is not a joke!

I never got around to installing the swim platform. Boat got hit by hurricane Helene while on the lift. A few years ago, it got a new lower drive. Platform is $2500 and includes the boat!. NO trailer, although it is hauled out and on a trailer at the moment. This would be a great project for anyone ...

Need some help here and giving the most detail I can so y'all can direct me. OK, hooked up known functional timing light, no flash / no ignition / no start... of course. Mercruiser MPI 7.4 I believe gen IV. Coil resistance primary side approx .2 ohms secondary around 8.4k. Suspect that coil is OK ...

Removed panels free could be useful if you want to refinish and then install.

Ops probably should have posted in parts section. Will relist over there.

Went outside in the freezing cold here in Florida, haha, well its 48,wind, cold for here. Took a few shots.

I replaced the panels on my 262 with Technographics. If you want the removed panels let me know. Might be useful for someone who wants to refinish a set and install once they are done.

Thank you

Haha! Yeah, turn up the stereo is a great idea! Well, with the engine hatch closed, it is much less noticeable. It just doesn't seem right to be that loud.

I changed the exhaust manifolds and elbows. All tight no leaks at least that I can see for now. I kept the engine hatch partially open so I could inspect for any leaks under load. I noticed an annoying hissing noise when throttling up between certain RPM range and it stops hissing at higher RPM and ...

Slightly older post. I have the same and it does not work. Innovative sells an adapter to fit the hole size and mounts their stainless unit. I ordered both yesterday and will have installed next week.

I had the exact same issues with my 253, chasing all the things you already did. Not that this has anything to do with your issue, however in my case, it wound up being a collapsed plastic hose retainer holding the pickup tube to the outdrive transom plate that then passes through to an aluminum ...
