So I launched my boat (later than I wanted to) this past Tuesday. Trailer drove away and I went out to my mooring as normal. When I got there I gave things a once over before I left the boat and thought my starboard motor was sounding a little odd and then I noticed a bunch of water in the...

Ran into an issue where the starboard motor y-pipe has corroded thru and need to remove the motor to replace it. Can that motor come out with the port motor still in place or do they both need to come out? Anyone have any experience removing just the starboard motor? I’ve taken the port motor...

Hi All, I'm fully committed now that I have ripped out all of the carpet in our '04 34PC and plan to install NautikFlor LVT plank flooring. The one thing that I was curious for those that may have done this before is what you did with the table pedestal bases. Mine are thru bolted and most of...

Well, it looks like I'll be pulling my boat about a month early. Beautiful weekend here in the northeast this past weekend. We were headed out of our home port Saturday morning, were on plane for a couple of minutes and then all of a sudden I felt the power drop out and saw one of the motors...

So when I bought my 34PC a year and a half ago, it did not have the front or rear bimini or the front bimini to windshield eisenglass. Late last summer we ordered the front and rear bimini sections along with their associated arch connectors. Those pieces went on fine though the front arch...

'04 34PC Cockpit Fridge Hi All, I've decided to swap the ice maker in the cockpit of my ?04 34PC with an Isotherm fridge. Does anyone know if Formula put in the Cruise 49 or 42? Thanks!

Would anyone possibly have the aft bimini frame that will fit an '04 and newer 34 PC that they are looking to sell?

Has anyone had to remove the engine cover from their 2004+ 34 PC? If so, how did you go about it? I see that it’s easy to unbolt but it’s not exactly something that you can lift off by hand. Unfortunately I had an injector go bad and flood a cylinder on my port motor - not a good start to the...

Hi All, I am looking at an '06 34PC and noticed that a few of faces of the cabinet doors in the cabin were delaminating. It appears that they are covered with a plastic molded wood look covering. Is this a common issue on these? Is the fix to simply re-adhere the covering to the core material...

Hi All, In my quest for a replacement for my 31PC, I have been looking at 34PC's in the 04-08 vintage. Are there any common items or issues to lookout for with these boats? I already know about the 496 manifold and cool fuel issues. What else should I be on the lookout for? Thanks!

The end of the winter was a tough one here in the northeast and in one of the storms in March, I had a tree (about 22" diameter) come down on my 31PC. It hit (actually bounced off) the port side gunwale and basically caved it in toward the cockpit. Several people, when they first looked at it...

Hi, First off, sorry for the non-Formula post. My son is a competitive Opti sailboat racer and we are attending the USODA Nationals this July in Pensacola. We have a team of about 8 kids and I am helping to find a RIB (something around 14') that we can rent as the coach boat. I've called a...

Hi, I'm looking at a 34PC with 7.4's that has been in fresh water all its life but, should I purchase it, will live in salt water. Is there any issue with putting a closed cooling system on it? Thanks!

Hi, Does anyone know how difficult it is to remove the radar arch on 34PC? I am looking at one that I would need to transport a fair distance and I think it might be too high if I left the radar arch on. Any instructions would be very helpful. Thanks!

Hi All, I've been chasing a minor leak at the transom and have determined that where the pitot tube comes through the transom is the culprit as shown in the image. It appears that the inner portion of this is MIA but I would simply like to plug the whole as I use my GPS for speed reading. Has...

Hi All, I discovered a leak in the holding tank at the lower pump-out fitting on our '98 31PC. I removed the tank from the boat and after I unthreaded the elbow found that the bung that is glued to the tank had a slice in it that actually went into the tank material a little bit as well. Does...

Hi All, Well, my boat has become a victim of the Mercruiser corroding raw water hose issue and I now need to pull the boat out of the water and get it corrected. My plan is to put in 2 scoop through hulls but I wanted to see if others had done this modification and if so, where did you place the...

Hi All I am considering upgrading my '98 31PC's engine cooling to using thru hull fittings with sea strainers. Has anyone gone through this and if so any tips? Would love so see pics of where you mounted the strainers and placed the thru hulls. Also, I have read where a few folks claim that...

Can anyone snap a picture of the shower hose connection to the shower valve in the cabin / head shower for a '98 31PC? For some reason it was not on my boat when I purchase it and we are planning a 4-night trip in a couple of weeks so I think it might be good to have :-) I think that there...

Hoping someone may be able to help. My '98 31PC has a Kohler 6.5ESZ that I was able to resurrect this season (had a bad circuit board). I have also replaced the plugs and fuel filter and rebuilt the carburetor. The issue I am having is that the only way I can get it to start is by initially...
