    Maybe my turn for new boat time

    You have a picture of the isolator? On many boats with 3 batteries, people just put in a couple ACRs. Another BTW, have a friend that bought a Cobalt R4 and had to have his brand new boat's transom rebuilt. I probably won't be buying a new Cobalt after Malibu bought them.

    Maybe my turn for new boat time

    One thing I did with my Cobalt after I bought it is I emailed Cobalt for a wiring diagram and they emailed me one for my year and model. It's main usefulness is show where all the connectors are and how they are labeled. Nice thing about Cobalt is they wire every boat the same so every option...

    Anchor Rope

    I had to cut my line on one that got caught in a submerged tree...hence the reason I needed to learn how to splice. I know exactly where it is in around 20' of water. Kinda deep to free dive to for me.

    Anchor Rope

    It's more for ease of grabbing than strength.

    Boat trailer brakes

    Correct...no such things as electric discs. I own two trailers with EOH Disc brakes. Best system.

    Anchor Rope

    3 strand is the easy one. I can do those in my sleep. True braided line is what's hard. This is what I use: https://www.sailrite.com/Splicing-Wand-Medium-Rope-5-16-1-2?gclid=Cj0KCQjw2v-gBhC1ARIsAOQdKY09cvgvOnODhDjnOnaCgbB00F_K3SjxNVNHn2uqastWr9hqEaz-EoIaAn-cEALw_wcB

    Show me a better or more unique sounding short block v8 than this wee monster !

    Yes and it will sound more lame than on a SBC.

    Anchor Rope

    Agree...hate 3 strand. Had it on my last boat and swore to never buy it again. However, braided is MUCH harder to splice to put around a thimble.

    Anchor Rope

    There are many types of rope that are made with polyester. Mine is a braided polyester and I assure you it doesn't float. Polyproline used for ski lines does float. When you say Poly, you are talking shorthand for many types of material. This is what I use...

    UCLA ran out of gas. They really missed their 2 starters. That 11 minute drought hurt them at the end. Almost pulled it off anyway.

    Anchor Rope

    I use 250' of 1/2 braided plus 25' of 1/4" chain for a 26' boat on Lake Tahoe. I use a Fortress anchor.

    How often and how much grass did you mow when you were a kid. Did they make you use a push mower? Did you smoke grass? LOL...good grief!

    Maybe my turn for new boat time

    Yep....my only option is black. Mine has the strap on the circumference of the cover with ratchets to tighten it. First cover I have ever had that uses that method and is a great way to get the cover nice and tight.

    Maybe my turn for new boat time

    Does Chaparral have an OEM cover that fits it? I make my own covers but there is no way I could duplicate the OEM cover that I have for my Cobalt. It fits like a glove. When my current cover wears out, I am buying another Cobalt cover. They are expensive but worth it in my opinion.

    Michigan wheel sells propellers globally. They also have manufacturing globally. Personally, I would have ZERO hesitation buying a Korean manufactured propeller. My Solas props for my Mercruiser Bravo 3 are made in Taiwan...great props. How did this propeller thread get so off topic?
