Cobalt Boats Forum

This was super helpful. It was also very easy to remove on my R4 surf. Wondering if the eight bolts that hold the retaining rings in are one time use only? Mine seemed to have red nylon material as I pulled them out almost like a nyloc nut. Could’ve been loctight. It was kind of dark when I was ...

I have an r4s ordered new about a year ago. the seat back on the rear pad has 3 positions. forward facing, lie flat and aft facing. the mechanism to change it to lie flat is to pull the seatback port side which releases a pin that allows it to flop down onto the rear bench.

problem we are having ...

Bump --- Id like to know the answer to this also. What did you find out? I can do a set to the switch but the full integration would be nice.

so --- did this ever improve? anyone else comment on r4 surf quality?

What I actually meant to say was that there are no are 4 surf models available on any of the traditional sites. Maybe that's because the owners are very happy with them. But I still have not been able to find a surf report on the R4. i'd especially like to know how it compares to the R6 . If anyone ...

Thanks so much for the responses.

Can anyone speak to the surf difference between the r4 and r6? 5600lbs hull and 1200lbs ballast on the r4 vs 6100lb hull and 2300 lb ballast. maybe the additional hull length negates the extra weight on wave shape?? I really don't need the extra length (and god ...
