Where to Buy Cobalt Parts & Accessories

I wish I would have known about the Tig Tech flag poles. I just ordered one from the local Cobalt dealer. $500+ Ouch, it really hurt.

 

I'm looking forward to more responses in this thread. I'm looking for OEM dash switches for my 232, along with a new OEM mooring cover and Bimini. Unfortunately, Great Lakes Boat Tops didn't manufacture the canvas for my year model.

 

I forgot to mention http://www.bigskyprecision.com/PhenderPro.php is the OEM supplier for the fender clips. They will not sell the Cobalt engraved clips direct, but it's a good place for parts. One thing I'm not for sure on is the clip size or boat installation measurements for specific models.

 

I agree. Here's the response I got:

Dear Adam,

Thank you for your interest in Great Lakes Boat Top original replacement canvas. We are sorry, but unfortunately, the items you have requested for your 2007 Cobalt 232 are not available because we did not pattern the original factory canvas for this manufacturer that year. You could contact the boat dealer from whom you purchased the boat for the appropriate factory canvas source.

Thank you for checking with us. If you have canvas needs for another boat, please contact us again.

 

Tecnografic makes the dashboards for Cobalt and can supply you with custom dashboards. One for an R7 was about $300.

Bocatech make the lit pushbutton switches that are used on the newer Cobalts.

Boat Zincs are a good source for replacement anodes for the outdrives and engines.

 

If you are 100% freshwater - I went with Magnesium instead of Zinc - better protection Boat Zincs will help you with that.

 

This is more of a Mercrusier thing than it is Cobalt but a Mercrusier power steering pump for my 1999 206 was $300. I took my bad pump off, took it to NAPA, bought the same Saginaw Gear GM pump for $65, replaced all the swapped out the fittings and brakets and reinstalled. Works like new.

 

Wish you would have too! Lol...next time..or when you add a second pole

 

Thanks for the mention! We aren't THE OEM anymore..we designed them and sold them for many years. They took our design and from what we understand are now having them made overseas. We still sell to many dealers and individuals now!

 

haha - 'course we do! My husband is from South Florida lol... We just can't get any of them to buy from us. It was hard in the beginning when Cobalt started having them made overseas. I could tell some were hesitant at first - seemed almost doubtful that we were the real thing - especially since we sell to dealers for less than they can get them from Cobalt. Gordy's on Lake Geneva was the first to buy them and they helped pass the word. There are still some hold outs that prefer to order from Cobalt. I think Singleton Marine is probably as far South as we have. We'll sell to individuals now too!

 

Originally west coast...San Ramon ( now west coast boats) carries ours...doesn't help you now though lol. We only make the poles.. my husband really started it as a side business specifically making the poles for Cobalt. The standard on our poles is a 20 degree angle..hope that helps!

 

That's great to learn - Not having any issue with this but we all need to be careful that if we are replacing an "electronic engine part" that it is truly for marine use - they have been shielded for spark etc.

I am looking for a ski mirror. The boat I purchased did not have one and the mirror from my old boat will not fit. I know I can go to the dealer but does someone make an aftermarket that will fit my 222?

 

I found what I was looking for. It is the PTM Edge 100. I don't like the price but it is made to fit on my boat. I ordered it from WakeMaker. They seemed to have the best price at $179 no shipping, no tax.
