We've had this boat for a couple years now and don't use the generator often. I checked the coolant tank on the generator and noticed that it looked like water only. This seems a little strange to me. Should it not be coolant?? If so, which coolant?

My current props are 3 blade 20x20 and I have an opportunity to pick up 4 blade 24x21 props for a reasonable price. But, will they fit!? Hmmmm

I have a '98 34PC with v-drives. It was repowered prior to us purchasing it with new crate 8.1ltr MerCruiser's. Unlikely they changed anything else in the drivetrain. I've been trying to determine which fluid goes in the v-drive. My research shows that for this year, it should be 30wt. Newer...

At te top of the cabinetry, there is this little 'thing' that has wires going to it.  I haven't been able to find anything on the schematics that identify what it is.  Anyone know what this is?<br><br><img src="http://formulaboatsforum.com/VBFORUM/attachment.php?attachmentid=11774&stc=1"...

I'm trying to determine the amount of anchor chain I can have for my 98 34PC. This is not how much do I need. But how much can I have in the chain locker before it becomes too much. Because we often anchor in water around 100', and I currently only have 170'. I'd like to add another 130' feet...

On my '98 34PC I have the OEM underwater lights. I believe are halogen lights. How do I replace the bulbs in these? They look like this from the outside. Thanks for any help with this.

Pulled the boat out of the water for the winter storage and noticed the props look like they are 'burned' in certain areas and still 'clean' brass in others. There is a small vibration at low RPMs that goes way when at cruising speed. I'm wondering if this is normal and expected. I didn't...

On my 98 34PC I have these bars under the rub rails. One on each side. But, I have no idea what they are for. Anyone have an idea of what they are?

On my previous boat I had vents under the windshield that had vent tubes back to the engine room that kept fresh air exchange while underway. In my '98 34PC I don't see anything like that. Is there any type of engine room venting while underway? Thanks, Michael

When I first start the generator it smokes, a greasy type of smoke. Once warmed up, runs fine and no longer smokes. Takes maybe 5 minutes. I recently had to replace the fuel heater / choke. Nothing else other than spark plugs. Could it be that I just don't have the choke adjusted correctly...

Looking at my trim tabs so that I can install position indicators. But, there is nothing on them that says who the manufacture is. They 'look' like Bennet, but..... Are there other manufactures that Formula uses, I can pretty much assume they are Bennet?? This is a '98 34PC Thanks

Went to open the engine cover the other day and it didn't work. Now the big question. How do I lift the cover if the ram isn't working? I suspect it might just be the switch that is the cause. But, haven't had a chance to do any troubleshooting yet. Thanks, Michael

I've been looking and looking and have not been able to find the screen size I need for my hatches. The screen measures 16.5x 16.5 and is black. The problem I ran into is that the little wire that holds the screen in-place has broken. So, I need to replace the screen. Not looking to...

The 12 volt battery just doesn't last with the stereo and the fridge running during the day. I'm my previous 'life' I had a wakeboard boat with, you guessed it, lots of stereo power. I used two 6 volt batteries in series to power the stereo and wouldn't need to charge them for 3 days. Now...

When we purchased the '98 34PC that dash had been redone. Looks great, but, I noticed that there are temp sending units on my v-Drives, but I have no gauges to show the temp, or even where the wires go. Besides the harness. Couple of questions.... Are there NEMA 2k sending units for these...

We have a '98 34PC and I am somehow getting water on the counter in the head by the sink. I don't leave the water pump on when not at the boat. So I'm thinking it's not the facet leaking. It's just clean plain water. No smell to it, and, nope haven't tasted it. :) Since we're in Seattle and...

When I had the 20 hour service done on my new 2018 8.1 Horizon Mercs the dealer used 5/30 Indmar oil instead of the recommended Merc synthetic 20/40. Should I be concerned? Should I make them re-do it to Merc specs as expected? TAG, any input on this issue? Will it void warrantee? Thanks

We recently purchased a 1998 34 PC and am wondering where other formula owners in the Seattle area have their boats serviced. Thanks

Seems the previous owner decided to remove the shower door. Where can I get a replacement, or better yet, can I get a shower curtain that slides on a track in the ceiling? Thanks

Just took ownership of this boat. I noticed that there is a pulsing vibration at all RPM levels. Had the props cleaned up and brought back to specs. That helped the vibration a little. But, still have a pulsing vibration. I've run each engine individually with noticiable vibration. This...
