Getting ready to buy a cockpit TV. I already have a directv line run up to the cockpit so all I need to do is buy one. Been thinking about buying a 22 inch thin LED or LCD. However, not sure where to store it. So question is for those of you with cockpit TVs where do you store the TV when not in...

I have not read this on the forum yet, but we finally get wonderful news for us Mid-Atlantic guys and gals. Grande Yachts in Md is a new Formula dealer. This is very close for me and to all my fellow Md boaters. I am excited to FINALLY have a dealer in my back yard again. The Formula Newsletter...

My boat has the switch which when pushed once turns on all courtesy lights in the cockpit using the clear (white) part of bulb. If you push switch again they all turn blue. Here is my issue. Only the blue part of bulbs are working. We cannot get the clear (white) part of bulb to turn on. I am...

Just want to let you guys know of something that Merc is actually doing right. I know Merc gets a lot of bashing, so its only right to point out the good stuff as well. Mercury is doing something called White Glove Treatment for Axius owners, and best of all, it is FREE!!! The white glove...

Ok does anyone know what Group battery the windlass battery that is stored under our mattress? I can get a good deal on some batteries but mine is currently wrapped.

My first issue of the new year. I have the refrigerator on the lowest setting it has, but it is still freezing my beer. Thoughts? I am not sure its turning off, meaning I think its constantly running.

So, I have been traveling alot this spring which has led to me having little time to work on boat. I asked the marina to paint my outdrives with anti-fouling paint - the kind that comes in the rattle can. Here is the problem/question. The marina painted the drive showers, which have never been...

Okay, I'm bored and wishing for warmer weather. The UPS man just delivered a box to the house and of course it is for the boat. Here is the game: you can flat out guess what it is I bought for the boat, ask questions and then guess or whatever. Let's see, winner has to get something. How about a...

I cannot believe my luck this year. Last weekend we had the "incident" and lost throttles and steering, hit anchor, etc, you know the story. Well this weekend yet another setback. Headed out of marina to cruise to Annapolis and grab a mooring for the day. As I get under Bay Bridge, the low fuel...

What a sad, sad, sad day yesterday. As we just pulled out of the slip and started to make the turn out of the marina, the Vessel View started screaming at me with some type of error. Next thing I know, my steering and throttles would not work. They were completely useless. (keep in mind, I have...

Does this happen to anyone with Vessel View. I will be boating along for 30 Min's or so, time varies, and I will look down to check on RPM and such and notice the Vessel View has the Mercrusier symbol going across it with the saying Boat responsibly. Is this thing rebooting on me or???????

Just a quick note about the dealer I bought my 2009 Formula 31 PC from. The dealer name is East Coast Flightcraft and they are a Formula dealer. I bought the boat directly from Danny the owner. Danny was a straight forward guy. Brutally honest in his dealing and is very crafty in getting loans...

2009 31 PC. I have keys to the ignition, keys to the cabin door and a key to the breaker panel. I also have another key, which is a tad smaller than the key to the cabin door with a key number of 831. Anyone have ANY idea what it could be for? I spent an hour tonight and cannot figure it out...

I have the wood floor option in the cabin for my 31PC. My question is when you remove the table and stow it under the bed, are you supposed to have plugs to put in the floor where the table legs go? I have plugs everywhere else, (aft cabin has carpet plugs, up top has the black plastic plugs)...

After a long and extensive search I was finally able to trade up to a brand new 2009 Formula 31PC. ;D To think, in January I almost bought a Regal 3360 but the deal fell through due to the amount of money they wanted down. I closed on the new boat last Friday and will have her in about two...

Put the boat in the water on Saturday to take advantage of this wonderful weather and to stop paying winter storage. What a day. Drove from Marina where boat is stored to Annapolis to have lunch and a few pops at Pussers, then drove her back to the Marina where I own a slip. Drove about 50...

Just wanted to post a positive experience I just had with Formula Guard. The shop that works on my boat is an independent two man operation who has worked on all my boats for years. My trim gauge was stuck in the up position all last year and I wanted it fixed, He told me the total cost would be...

I heard a rumor that AGYG (a.k.a. NAMG) closed its Grasonville, MD office. This is where a lot of Formula boats were displayed and also where my boat was serviced when I needed warrantly work done. So, I took a ride over there today and YUP, they are no longer in that building. All the...

Each year I have the drives pulled and serviced to include inspection, grease, etc. Well this year, they discovered the starboard gimbal bearing went bad. Had rust on it so they replaced. That was no big deal. What worries me is the technician said he saw no signs of water intrusion and all...

I was browsing boat trader (I do that often while dreaming) and stumbled across a brand new 2009 31PC with Volvo 5.7 GXI's on it. Wouldn't that boat be big time underpowered? Or perhaps not. I know the 5.7GXI are rated at 320hp each, but almost all of the 31PC's I see equipped come with 8.1's.
