I’ll pile on now…2017 45Y similar to Ray‘s. We love ours as well. This is my 5th Formula, so pretty loyal too. Lots of systems to learn, but I also came from a 37PC, but V-drive, and you will see many similar systems, just more of them. We get many inquiries about the boat and have also done a...

So, I owned a 37PC (2003) for 7 years. Mine was a V-Drive boat. The thruster is located towards the middle of the boat, I referred to it as a Mid-Thruster instead of a bow thruster. I did replace the thruster prop with a newer one with I think 5 or 6 blades. So docking in many different weather...

Agreed. Warm or hot water, add Tide and shake her up! Should help. Sounds like a fouled sender. Dave

You are Welcome! Want to know where the fillers hide? Dave

SOLD SOLD SOLD This was in my 37PC when I bought it, didn?t need it so I removed it and stored it. Like brand new and I tested it and it works great. Comes on at around. 45 degrees and turns off at 55. I called the company and confirmed the wattage to be 750w. They also said they have had...

Hey all, I want to share an experience with you about a failed charger model 12/80, 80 amps. This is my house charger and keeps my 2 D4 batteries charged at the dock. (45Yacht). 5 year warranty on these and you can extend them for another 5 years if you have owned it for less than 4 years...

Have a 2017 Whale Stainless Steel S1900 120v 20 gallon Hot Water Heater, with the engine coil. Lightly used for sale. $1200 new, I?d do $900 plus the ride. Let me know, like new. Dave

So I have had a drive oil cooler failure which is sending drive oil into the water side of the cooler and out the exhaust along with water into the drive oil. The marina is discussing the issue with Formula Guard warranty. Anybody have this happen? Boat has only lived in salt water for 15...

Cover on the fuse block. I was able to add another T to my network with a short jumper to connect the AIS box. Hard to see here, there were a couple things in the way. The last connection is the antenna from the radio, plugs in the box and a jumper back to the radio. It?s short, another...

Managed to complete the AIS install. Access to the antenna mounting spot by removing the starboard side light panel. Take the light cover off first! One large philips head screw, you can see the difference for sure. Then there are two clips on forward and aft that will release. Carefully slide...

Hey folks. I?ve noticed in some other 45 Yacht pictures a different screen background and more information being displayed on the Garmin Volvo display. Has anyone updated their software for this display and does anyone know what model my 2017 might be? I can call TAG, figured I would check here...

Hey Yacht owners, I am installing AIS this spring and have been acquiring all the necessary hardware and wiring. Decided to go with the RayMarine 700 Class B with the internal VHF antenna splitter for simplicity. It will work well with my SeaTalk Network and my RayMarine GS series equipment...

Anybody have a source for a maintenance manual for the IPS D6? Thanks, Dave

Anyone have any tips for dealing with Formula?s warranty company CornerStone? I am having a few small issues and they want to send out an inspector. I have no problem with this, although the Marina is telling me that Cornerstone does not want me present and that if I am there, they could just...
