Cobalt Boats Forum

I've been meaning to update this for months. I will include more details later if anyone is interested, with install pics (let me know). We got our boat in July (220s Mercruiser with the Garmin option). This may not apply to your Penta, but I want the exact same thing you do - the depth on the GPS ...

I’m also waiting for my 220 to come in next week at Erickson. Their generic marketing email this week said they will continue to service Cobalts. What a bummer.

Hey everyone - quick report back, I was able to get a special order change done to include this gauge right from the factory in place of the speedo. I did have to pay an order change fee, but hopefully it all works out okay. It took many emails back and forth through my salesperson. Fingers crossed!

Same exact experience regarding zero pictures of the garmin option. He found me one somewhere and texted it to me. Interesting that it’s a pitot tube... agree seems like still finding a way to minimize cost on the gateway series but leaving some awkward gaps. Still a great looking and riding boat ...

I am in almost the exact same situation. I ordered my 2020 220S with the Garmin flanked by speedo and tach. I was very dismayed to find that by purchasing the Garmin option ($2500 for a $800 display), Cobalt stiffed me one more time by deleting the standard boat's speedometer with two scrolling ...

@go4it I have gone back and forth as well, but I’m sticking with it because I want maps, and I want the clean recessed dash mount. To me that was worth having to deal with not having as much other dash-mounted gauges. It’s sucks that the R series comes with all of this working and mine does not. I’m ...

Thanks for replying! What do you mean it only worked 60% if the time? The sales guy told me the speedo dial is tied to gps and not pitot tube anymore. Also hate to say it but I think they deleted the lcd on the speedo dial even for standard helm setup. I drove one, this exact boat, take a look at ...

That would be awesome and I tried to get more info. I sent a message on ‘contact us’. I didn’t get very far here’s what the customer service person said: “Unfortunately that is not available with the standard wiring in the 220S from the factory. That’s not to say it couldn’t be done but plug and ...

Hi all - new to the forum, I have a loaded 220s on order for spring 2021! I got the garmin gps option but I don’t love the idea of losing the two small gauges (fuel, trim, eng temp, batt level). I am wondering if I can buy the multifunction gauge from the cs22 with those 4 needles and wire it ...

Hey bw505. Welcome to the CobaltChat forum. So glad you found us!

Can't help you with your question but others here may have a pic of the back side.

How 'bout a few more pics of your 220s. How is she powered?

Again, welcome aboard mate!

Thanks for the welcome!! I don’t have any pictures ...
