David, When I had factory carpet on my 2001 262, I had the rubber backing coming off entirely. I got a spray can of Flex Seal, and sprayed the...
We are selling our 2001 262 as we have a 2019 R5 on order. 552 hours on a Volvo 8.1L Maintained by the local Cobalt dealer (Arrowhead- they are...

Jevon, we have been using a Danforth with the 262. That has worked pretty well. Many people who have the windlass have a plow/delta. Those seems...
We just got the cushions back for the 262. Now we will be getting it ready for a new owner, so the slip is open for the new R5. Can’t wait!

Dave, you order the snaps separately. That way, they are placed exactly where you need them. Hope that helps.
I would think so.
I’ve not heard about this issue specific to a new boat. My good friend has a 2017 R5, and does not have this issue. Since this is a new boat, it’s...
