Thanks!

The biggest issue you could have is the connector at the head unit. They switched from a large connector to a small connector. Pretty basic. If it had a small one you will be all set Prob plug and play. What model had unit is in it now? Any pictures of it?

Thanks, will need to take pics next ...

I keep a NOCO Boost unit on board. Haven't needed it yet but if you ever have to assist someone, that's a very handy unit to have.
For cleaning we keep way too many things aboard, but typically use a small scrub brush and a couple microfiber towels the most.

Assuming it is a Sony, curious if anyone knows if updating that stereo to a newer Sony head unit that has Bluetooth is a straightforward process, or if ...

Apologies if this topic exists elsewhere on the forum, searched and didn't find what I was looking for....

I had a Cobalt 282 years ago but sold it and all the accessories. Now getting a 2013 232 and getting back into boating. Usage will be lake only, casual evening and weekend cruises, and maybe ...

About to close on a 2013 232 that was originally delivered without a bimini top. Thinking I'd at minimum like to get a quality bimini top for some shade on the boat. Because it was not installed originally, assuming this will mean drilling into the hull. Cobalt obviously charges premium price to do ...
