Ok gang, just got my boat from Cobalt dealer service. 2006 282 with twin 496mag HO’s. I usually do my own service, but this year, thought I would let the dealer look it over and do the usual annual maintenance:

* oil & filters change
* lower units serviced
* fuel filters
* couple trim relays replaced
* one drive had a bad gimble bearing needing replaced

Feel free to just estimate the oil, filter, and fuel filter service. I’m shocked! Reminded why I do my own maintenance.

$700 for oil service w/ fuel filter.

$1800 for the gimble, and the trim relay.....depends on where they are loctaed.

I forgot receipt to make this post accurate. Will follow up soon.

Dang it! I forgot to follow up. My bill was $6,100. I was shocked.
* oil & filters changed (x2)
* lower units serviced (x2)
* impellers replaced (x2)
* gimble on one of the drives replaced
* trim relays replaced to fix trim shorting out

I guess when you think a couple thousand should cover it and your bill is $6,100……you have to vent to someone.

Anyway, on the water for 2026 and living the dream.
