Re: 262 Deck Drains

Thanks!,
I guess Im paranoid/overthingking it :)
I dont think I can snake/ backflush. as near as I can tell, the drains go to a pipe a couple of feet long then just dump into compartments on either side of the engine then there is basically come out weep holes into the bilge.

Re: Cobalt 262/263 steering cable replacement

Thanks for this, I am pretty sure this is my next project!
Does anyone have any sources or other topics on how to access the path for the steering cable? I don't know how to get the cushions out and I do not appear to be smart enough to search this site properly.

Can't Search for Model Numbers?

Am I missing something? If I try searching 2004 262 deck drain or anything else 262 specific, it ignores the 262. How would I best go about being able to search for this? Is there a trick? How else would I search for topics on my 262?

Thanks!
