So I’m curious if the weld broke off here 282C?...

.
I think they should warranty that.
That's crazy. I can't believe husk has a spare. Just going to show you just never know.
Just to clear the air I was just being sarcastic about the warranty as in our world we get this all the time.
Glad a fix is on the way.

Likely it wasn't the last pull that broke it, just finished the process.

Andy I sent you a PM. Give me a call and I'll let you know about a fiberglass guy in our area that can fix that. He'll make it look like it never broke!

Huge shoutout to Mark! If you are on this thread, you already know how much Mark helped me out. Cobalt doesn’t have the part anymore. Their vendor who can make it wants $1700 and it would take months. What a mess. Mark already has the part in the mail. Someone has to tell me where Mark resides. He won’t let me pay him. Might have to plan a Cobalt surprise party!

Thank you Mark!

Almost worth it to see Mrs. Akor's face when that gets dumped on the front patio! :lol:

Super long overdue update!

Hello Cobalt family.


Husk (Mark)....these pics are for you! So appreciative for all your help. Your part looks right at home. Made the $1000 fix at Superior Fiberglass feel like a victory. Took it in a couple weeks ago.

Looks good as new. Waxed and buffed boat before heading to lake for the 2020 season!
