Couldn’t come up with a better way to describe it the sound. 2008 27PC, twin Merc 350’s. Buttoned her up for the season today 🤬. Fired up to idle to he pump out dock, and starboard engine didn’t sound quit right, making a “whirring” sound at idle and throughout the limited throttle range I...

Scoured the forum and found just one post from rdobroski in 2012, but no solution was posted. Our 2008 27PC has the multiswitch that toggles courtesy lights in sequence from white foot light, to white radar arch and foot lights, to blue radar arch and footlights, then off. White footlight...

Anyone out there have any idea why my holding tank level monitor would read "Empty" and "Mid" at the same time? (Tankwatch 4, 2008 27 PC) it's definitely closer to empty. Season just started. Used the head maybe a dozen times, uh, "liquids" only.

Admittedly creatively wasting time while on a flight delay... I can check myself this weekend, but am 1000 miles away from my boat this morning. My Icom M304 VHF is not transmitting. Rather than repair, I'm just going to replace it; might as well upgrade in the process. It appears that the...

2008 27 PC Kohler gennie does not respond to the Start/Stop switch at the electrical control panel in the cabin. No issues at all starting from the main switch at the generator. Tried all switch configurations that make sense at the cabin panel, but it won't activate the starter when off, or...

Been gone awhile - great to be back! I bought a well-used dock box last season and am looking to repair chips and refinish the completely chalked-out finish. Anyone done this or have any thoughts on paint source and method, as well as any other useful mod tips such as installation of gas struts...

Returned this evening from a glorious day on the bay to hear the shower sump running on our '08 27 PC. Frankly, that it's August and I haven't had any trouble with it yet this year I considered the current run to be pretty fortunate. Did the usual degunking and cleaned & dried the infernal box...

Has anyone out there found a sheet that fits the v-berth on a 27 PC? Ours is a 2008. Not a horrible berth, but can't find a sheet set that fits it well. Bonus if it's a fitted sheet that helps hold the filler cushions in place! Aargh.

Refresher - we bought our 08 27 PC last May. It's our 3rd boat, but all prior experience over the last 20 years is transient or on boats without shorepower. Hadn't cracked our harbor wait list last year, so had to relaunch the PC every weekend - which simply means that if we weren't on board...

So this has been a constant since I took delivery last year. Our 08 27PC lists to starboard - I'll estimate about 2-3 degrees. Always. Pic below shows starboard side accent stripe just touching the waterline. Port side stripe is about 3" above the waterline. Doesn't matter how much is in the...

As this historically frigid Winter finally begins to bow out, and land and sea finally begin to thaw here in the north, I'm sure that I'm not alone in my freakish anticipation of the single greatest day of the year...Splash Day! Problem is, it can't get here fast enough. So I thought I'd drop...

Came across this gem today. For those of us who prowl the beautiful blue waterways of the north - looks like we can take our time on our projects. We might just have a lot of it. Ice through May?? >:( http://www.wbay.com/story/24933405/2014/03/10/ice-breaking-on-great-lakes-could-take-months

This post really has no business here. It's simply an observation that those of you who are not new Formula owners ready know. Just spent a week on board our new ('08) 27 PC and am blown away by the attention she gets - everywhere. Day 4 my wife made this comment after being approached for...

Found some very old posts on this but elected to start a new one hoping to get some insight. News on old posts was not good. I have a 2008 27 PC that we bought in April and are still shaking her out. Cruising this weekend we noticed that the bow rail stanchion broke completely free from the...

Shakedown cruise on our new '08 27 PC this weekend. Great boat! Planes quick and leaps to speed. Most disappointment is with the Merc shifters. No feel or feedback whatsoever and clunky at best - and the cover falls off! Rolls Royce boat with Pinto shift levers. Any successful...
