Battery technology changes daily any more and it is really hard to keep up. I went with AGM's when they first came out and had great success. I believe I got 7 years out of all my batteries which was over double the life of regular lead acid. They can be mounted in any position, even upside...

Ethel, Here is Dave's post. https://www.formulaboatsforum.com/VBFORUM/index.php?threads/sound-insulation-41pc.11036/

Great boat, survey is a must, have outdrives inspected for galvanic corrosion. As previously stated, trailering over width requires special attention like permits, CDL license towing over 10k, etc. weigh the options and possibly find a nice slip instead of trailering. Good luck and let us know...

I would call Formula TAG and ask them. I never knew it was offered but I learn every day.

I am curious as I did not know that it was offered.

I would get a hold of Formula and ask if they have the info you may need. Good Luck!

I am also curious to see if it stays on underwater. Great experiment though.

HPF is a head pressure error that is caused by lack of flow of water to the condenser. Basic stuff to check is the strainer and water intake to the thru hull. Has anything been done to the thru hull on the bottom of the boat? It seems like you are sucking air while out running. Some a/c...

Here is a link to a great workbook about galvanic corrosion. I learned so much from this company and still reference their specs. Alldodge is correct, you will need a silver half cell connected to a multimeter to test for millivolts. You must also check that all underwater metals are bonded...

Electrolysis is not something that is an issue with a model or year but a condition that is caused by dock power, electrical issues on the boat, nearby at another marina, etc. Mercruiser Bravo drives are very susceptible to electrolysis due to the poor aluminum choice from the manufacturer...

I agree that the concept is great. Wonder what kind of warranty it has? Hopefully, 500 hours or 5 years would be great. I myself would have to wait until this takes off and is proven. I was one of the first Volvo Penta composite drive owners thinking that it was a great idea and all the...

There is no better way, just keep cleaning and lubricating the track and slides.

I never had to clean any threads as I coat them in the spring with never seize copper. Both stay in all year and come out without issues.

When you drill your holes, drill them slowly, looking at the shavings to see if they are wet. This is a good indication that the wood has water intrusion.

I believe the cavity below the wood is foam filled. Not sure why your screw is not holding but the wood may be rotted.

Have you checked for a skin from Formula? They may not have the correct colors but I am sure they can make you something close.

Nice job!!

Are you latching all three latches? I have seen them leak with only the middle one used. Check the seal and lubricate with a light lubricant like Vaseline. If you put a dollar bill between the glass and the gasket and close and latch, the seal should be very tight and difficult to move the...

Happy New Year!!!
