It's been a very long time since I posted on here. Looking for some advice regarding a potential move down to FL. I'm looking at a development that has a fresh water canal with a lift system to get out to the river that leads to a river (brackish water) then to the ocean - Tampa Bay Area. The...

Been a while since I've posted but was just reading some anchoring questions on another topic. Question for the group - for those that have the metal piece that you flip forwards/backwards to secure the chain (can't think of a name for it), do you flip forward while releasing chain then flip...

Well, my bow cushions have had their day in the sun. The zipper is pulling out from the cover and needs to be fixed or junked. Or... is there another option I have to use something different/better? I've never been a fan of these cushions and am really just considering buying some less...

Before I head to the boat today I figured I'd bounce this one off this group. My drive trime gage for port side is stuck in a position as if the drive were fully raised. It's not raised but the gage shows it as such - starboard side works fine. I noticed that when under enough power and speed -...

Curious if anyone knows how my boat is wired from a stereo system perspective. It think I have the basics down with amps but clearly I'm missing something. I ordered and received a Kenwood KDCX997 head end unit to replace my original Kenwood KDCMP4028. Swapped them and my cockpit speakers don't...

I responded to a post in the 'for sale' section about the price of a new 2013 and so I checked on the new price for the 37PC. OMG! I'm sure there are still monster deals out there but the list is about $150k more than what it was back in 2006 when mine was built. Just seems like a big increase...

I've left my AC running now for a couple weeks. I intentionally left it on because I thought I would be back to the boat after a few days after the 4th and was thinking it would be nice to have the boat already cooled down for me when I arrived. As it turned out we couldn't make it to the boat...

My cabin fridge only cools to the low 50s on a good day with air conditioning running in the cabin, and it needs defrosting often. I removed the fridge and all looks good behind - fan works, coils are clean. What else could be wrong here? I've checked the door seams many times and they look...

I've talked about this for a few years now but haven't pulled the triger on my sound system updgrate as of yet. But clearly I've put some thought into it and really want to make a move this season... :) My original thought was to put a sub (Infinite Baffle) in the Aft U shaped sitting area in...

So my cabin fridge hasn't kept things very cold the last year or two - probably down to low 50s. I'm going to pull her out this year and clean up the mechanics and ensure the fan is working properly, but curious if anyone has done anything different from a freezer space perspective. There's...

Heading to Miami soon for an 11 day trip - 7 of which will be on an Eastern Carribean cruise. Getting very excited. The 2 days after our cruise we will be in Miami for the boat show. Any recommendations on where to start? This is the first time we will be in Miami for the show and curious if...

Since we all seem to be talking boat shows lately I've added this thread. Going down to FL with another other couple in Feb and we're looking for a place to stay. Would like to find a nice rental property with a pool in the Keys somewhere. All you South FL Formula owners - any suggestions or...

A buddy of mine is ordering LED light for his port and starboard navigation lights. So I decided to check to see what type of bulb my 37 PC uses. When I was unscrewing the port nav light on the arch I hear something fall from that position down somewhere inside the arch. I immediately had a...

I really dislike (really, really, really dislike) having my canvas up at all but sometimes it's just easier. Although currently I have my cockpit cover on - much better in my opinion but makes the boat less useful when it rains and you're at the boat. Have any of you 37PC owners (or anyone else...

I noticed this early in the year and confirmed it during a long trip this past weekend - I'm losing coolant on my starboard engine. There is no sign of coolant in the bildge yet I have to keep adding. Volvo 8.1 GXi closed cooling engines. I'm starting to think there is something wrong with the...
