    40PC deck fridge

    Does anyone know the brand and model of the fridge that Formula installs on the outside deck on the 40PC? I have the icemaker or as we call it the icekeeper because the darn thing hasn't made a cube of ice since day one. U-line really sold crap to every boat manufacturer that installed these...

    40PC hydraulic platform

    Does anyone have any info on the hydraulic platforms used on the 2001 to current 40PC models. I know they switched suppliers somewhere along the way but kept the initial design the same. TNT lifts made the original lifts but the factory was hit by one of the hurricanes and lost everything...

    5000v transmission whining

    I have a 01' 40PC with 8.2L Mercs coupled to 5000v velvet drives. I have two problems, one with each trans. Port Trans-when the engine is started, the trans will not drive the boat in forward or reverse. You can hear the trans engage & a slight growl which is normal but the prop shaft/coupler do...

    Is anyone interested in trying to continue Formula Fridays that Glencove used to host? I am now a proud owner of a Formula 40PC & think that Glencove had something fun started with the Formula Friday gatherings. We were able to attend with some friends who also own a Formula 41PC. I was hoping...

    40 PC transom shower

    Does anyone know what brand transom shower Formula uses on the current 40PC? I have a 2001 40PC & the shower head hose has a kink in it so I am thinking about replacing the whole thing.

    Hydraulic Swim Platform

    How many 2001 37PCs came with the hydraulic platform? I have read that the factory did not suggest having one on a under 40' boat and that it would hurt the performance but.... the main brochure picture from the 2001 37pc has a waverunner sitting on the platform! The 2001 37pc platforms all look...

    2001 37PC

    Could some people weigh in with your opinions of the 2001 37PC. I have researched and know all the specifics about the LOA & beam that basically make it a 40pc. I think I would rather have a 2001 rather then a 2002+ because they shrunk those 37's down some. I have a steal on one and will...
