My 2017 R5 Mods and Maintenance

I did notice that one of my interior lights in the bow area is not working. I checked voltage to the light and that was ok. I will call Cobalt and see if they can send a replacement. If not, the lights I put on the swimstep will be a good replacement.

You should buy them from your dealer not cobalt. Cobalt may just give you a part number. It's like calling GM for a oil filter. Who does that?

[bruceb58]

The reason I would call Cobalt is if it can replaced under warranty.

I wouldn't buy from either. If it can't be replaced for free, I will replace with another type light.

Again that's why you call your dealer. Don't you call your car Dealer before you call Porsche? Cobalt builds them and your dealer supports them.

Ummm... sounds like you do sir.

By all means please ignore the perfectly logical and helpful advice and make the process cumbersome and inefficient.

By the way - I’m liquid. Nice boat and welcome to the forum.

We have customers who call GM instead of the dealer to verify warranty coverage on items like bulbs, wiper blades and even collisions.

I called Fender once as guitar center was giving me the run around on getting wiring schematic.

Ever had the need to go around the store and call the MFG directly on something? Appliances? Furniture? Even pet supplies?

Back in the day I bought a 2006 Subaru WRX - which I call my quarter life crisis oh my God I have enough money to purchase my first new car off the dealer lot car.

I did some research and found that Subaru actually included Brake pads and Rotors within the factory warranty. Most car manufactures consider them wear items which are obviously excluded, but not Subaru. 26 year old Jeff took this as a personal challenge. Think it was 3 Sets of pads and a Rotor change in 36,000 miles.

Now Pet Supplies is an interesting question. Marzen loves to chew. We got him a stuffed turtle squeaky toy off Amazon. It was advertised as being virtually indestructible. He had it killed and the stuffing out in about 30min. Factory warranty Claim? False Adverting lawsuit?

What kind of animal kills a turtle. He is a savage Goldendoodle.

Now that’s interesting. Nerf makes this tennis ball cannon that we got for Captain. The balls are very heavy grade.

Cap ripped all the fur off it and then started devouring rubber. He ate two of them and now he’s very protective of the last ball as he’s seen them in the trash.

I’m obviously calling nerf corporate as soon I finish drafting this post.

This is the correct choice. I mean you could just go to walmart and purchase many new fresh tennis balls, but calling Nerf Corporate seems a much more logical choice.

Speaking of, how much do you love the fresh tennis ball smell? I haven't played tennis in forever, it may be the one sport I can beat Katie in. If the Nerf company sends you a box of new tennis balls - and really why wouldn't they at this point warranty claim and all - can you send some my way? I could just go purchase my own, but its snowing out so having them shipped from NY seems easier.

Funny story as we get a lot of stuff from “ Chewy.com and during a survey I mentioned the problem I was having with the aquarium we got.

Our kids were complaining the Turtles were noisy and keeping the up at night?
Hmm I’ve had eastern box turtles as a kid and never heard a peep.

It was the light ballast humming even when off.

So I received a email from tetrafauna the company that make the aquarium asking for my address.
Bam next week got a brand new Turtle kit and all LED.

Sometimes the mfg will surprise you

Makes sense. Chewy headquarters is in Louisville Kentucky. Good midwestern honest folks working there.

We ordered a few dog toys awhile back, they came and were miniature in size so we asked for a return. Chewy said just keep them and donate them to a local pet shelter. Solid Compnay.

So is the eastern Box turtle the best pet turtle? I was always a red eared slider kinda guy.

I’m all in on new tennis ball smell. I’ve been playing paddle lately and the new ball smell isn’t nearly as satisfying. Any of you guys play paddle/platform tennis? Great cardio.

Back to topic. CMatt - your turtle story reminds me of the one with my Taylor Made irons. The M2s had a dead spot on a few. I called TM and they offered to send brand new sim Max’s. I had to go to a local dealer to process the exchange though so... natch.

[cmattj]

Yes the red earded are spectacular but they don’t like to be handled as much or the stress makes them stop eating.
We had our easterns next to Gerbals and a Garder snake tank and they handled it well.

Nice I was pondering going to Taylor but my trusty Spaulding pro V have been awesome.
Wonder if refitting would help?

Are the spaulding pro v's the ones with the tiny nubs so they don't fly off on your backswing?
