    Engine dies....on time

    Two other options if it ends up not being your alternator... Last year my mechanic chased down electrical issues on my port engine. Engine would run fine then just shut off. I could restart by combining batteries. This isn't quite the same scenario you describe. For me it turned out to be...

    Gimble wear - lots of side to side play

    This is exactly what my mechanic told me. I didn't want to pay him (I have no desire to attempt the JR Marine solution on my own) to "fix" it, only to find out the seals still leak, or leak in the near future due to corrosion, and have to pay him again to replace the TA's. So I opted to...

    Brand new 8.2L H.O. Not performing as expected

    I don't know squat about drive ratios, but my boat came from the factory with 8.2's married to B3 1.81's

    Gimble wear - lots of side to side play

    I agree with the previous comments. If you try to just fix the parts now you will most likely need to repair something else each year. I know $5600 is a lot, but if you can swing it I would bite the bullet and replace the full transom assembly. I'm getting both of mine replaced next month...

    Attn: Pirate Lady and Others - Need Dock Bar Recommendations

    Do they have transient slips for the restaraunt at Great Oaks?

    1 or 2 color bottom paint?

    I am the second owner of my boat. The PO used two colors. I think it makes sense, since it's easy to see when you need a new top coat prior to getting down to the fiberglass.

    POwerhouse Marine in Miami

    I'm also looking for 2 Bravo transom assemblies. Those prices on their website can't be right, can they? I'm interested to see what you find out.

    Best restaraunt for blue crabs Timonium MD

    You could try Ocean Pride. They are about 10 mins south of the fairgrounds on York Road. Another 15 minuts south in to Towson is The Crack Pot on Loch Raven Blvd.

    Replace transom assemblies - recommendations needed

    Espos4, I think your estimate is spot on. That’s what I was expecting. The quote I got from Bosuns, who is the local Cobalt dealer, was a minimum of a $18k labor + parts + they said they would need my boat for probably 6 months from start to finish.

    Replace transom assemblies - recommendations needed

    Thanks for the replies. The boat is in great shape. It spent its first 7 years in salt water and the steering pins are leaking. I have made the decision to replace the transom assemblies to hopefully be rid of current and future problems with salt. I was considering Tomes Landing in Port...

    Replace transom assemblies - recommendations needed

    I need to have the transom assemblies replaced on my boat. I am looking for recommendations for a good shop to perform the work. Preferably Mercury Marine certified. I am looking in the Upper Chesapeake Bay area. Anywhere north of the Potapsco river.

    Annapolis Boat Show - recommendations

    I went a few years ago and parked at the Navy Stadium. Rode the shuttle bus to and from the show from there. Very easy. https://www.annapolisboatshows.com/united-states-powerboat-show/directions-accommodations/

    New boat, not a SeaRay - but I'm not leaving

    Congratulations! Very nice boat. You're gonna love it. And this forum is wayyy better that the Cobalt Chat forum.

    Upper Chesapeake trip: Kent Narrows, MD to Potomac River - destinations to visit along the way

    I'm assuming you are planning your trip for this coming weekend? Just a couple of thoughts... Jelly Fish Joels in Fairlee doesn't open until May 21. However The Landing, the restaurant at Safe Harbor Great Oak Landing Marina is open now. I don't think the Tolchester Shanty bar is open until...

    Upper Chesapeake trip: Kent Narrows, MD to Potomac River - destinations to visit along the way

    Safe Harbor Great Oak Landing is in Fairlee Creek. It is about a 15-20 min drive by car from Chestertown Marina to Safe Harbor Great Oak Landing. By boat is much different. You have to go back down the Chester River to the Bay and then head north.

    Kent Narrows Red Eye's

    We spent a lot of time at Fairlee Creek last summer. That's a great spot. I've never been to the Shanty Bar but we're gonna definitely try it this summer. Can I just use the slips on the back side of the beach bar?

    Conowingo Dam opened (Friday morning 9/3/21)

    We were out yesterday. We went from The Bush River over to Fairlee Creek. We didn't see much in the water until we got over between the channel and the eastern shore. It wasn't a lot of debris, but definitely some branches and logs floating by. I took it slow and had no problems. There were...
