Re: Backup Props

Ok. Thanks for the responses. I boat inland lakes, so I agree with the responses for not lugging around an extra Bravo3 prop. Thank up all!

Re: Backup Props

I changed a single prop Alpha 1s on the water before. Is the procedure more difficult with the 2 prop B3?

Underwater Lights Not Working

Backup Props

Hey all, I have CS23 with 6.2 L MPI ECT-350 B3 DTS (Bravo 3). Wondering if it's smart to have backup props on board? Are the props separate on a B3, or do you replace the whole unit (2 props).

2021 CS23 Spider Cracking GelCoat/Fiberglass

Well, my boat is 2 years old and has spider cracking in the fiberglass by the tower assembly. It was repaired under warranty last fall, and has come back this summer. Anyone else have this issue? Or any advice to deal with this issue. Obviously Cobalt is not going to give me a new boat, but this can ...

Re: Got my new CS23!

We trailer to lots of different lakes. Fox Chain, IL, Lake Clinton, IL, Lake Ozarks, MO, Lake Koshkonong, WI.

So, mostly sandy/muddy bottoms? I'm sure each lake is a bit different. Is there a universal style anchor? And I am guessing two anchors is a good idea?

Re: Got my new CS23!

Yep, too tall for that garage in the picture. Sadly. Even folded down it won't fit. I will be looking for a storage facility. Thinking about buying small lot nearby and building one for it.

Got my new CS23!

First time Cobalt owner. Previous boat (my first) was a 1991 Rinker runabout. After 5 years, was ready to get something nice.

After extensive research, settled on the Cobalt brand and the CS23. I like the sportier smaller boats, and trailer a lot, so the size seemed right verses the R series.

Well ...

Re: Captains Call Exhaust CS23

I ordered the MerCruiser 6.2 L MPI ECT-350 B3 DTS 350. So it is a V-8 if that means anything.

I contacted Corsa, they said COBALT uses the CC to lure buyers to the next line up. They sent me a measurements guide to see if there is room, under the swim platform, but I don't have my boat yet to take ...

Captains Call Exhaust CS23

Is it possible to mod captains call onto a new CS23? I have one being delivered this summer, but would love to Corsa mod onto it.

Anyone do it on a CS23?

Re: Engine Choice CS23

Ok last 2 questions. And thanks for all the responses.

1. Which will have better resale value (300 vs 350)
2. And if money is not the issue ... which would you get.
