Had a great run up from Norwalk to Point Judith on Sat. 90 miles or so in 1' or less until I left LI Sound. Did everyone else get out this weekend?

With launch coming in a few weeks I am going through to torture of getting everything ready, going through safety equip and procedures, etc. I was thinking about how to run my boat if I lost an engine and I realized I wasn't sure what to do? With twins, you come home on the one you have left...

Congrats! Great boat. As a newbie - if you don't share a pic of the boat then it does not exist! select the 3rd icon above from the right - looks like a tree in a small box. Then upload from you photos. afrataki - i'm gonna look through my photos but I bet if you do 370 helm photo search...

Sorry as I was just getting ready to go down a rabbit hole and highjack the thread on BI Marinas and realized I should just start a new thread Last year I stumble on to a really cool experience when I brought a couple of families out to see the Matunuck Beach fireworks and was surprised to find...

I gotta go with Payne's... Mahogony Shoals is literally the bar I have been practicing my whole life for. And it even says so on the shirt I bought there!

I have used this one on a couple of boats and it's a great, easy set up. The key is to mount the deck mount in a stub free location, and to do it right. You are screwing/bolting into your fiberglass platform and it can lead to water issues. But once done, it is super easy to use. In fact I...

A couple of amazing photos! where were they taken? Not a sunset but my last sunrise of the season from Goat Island Marina in Newport, RI

Wondering what everyone is doing to clean the powerplant of your outboards? I am definitely getting salt under the cowling and looking for some suggestions. Also wondering why I am seeing so much salt.

At first pass you would think it would be easy to put a ladder hatch on both sides of the swim platform. The issue is the access hatch for the OB rigging. If you take a look at the pic I posted you can see just over the guy's left shoulder a slit in the platform where the ladder mounts. As...

I'm looking for some best practices on how to store items safely and securely in my engine room - tech its what would be the engine room but since I have out boards is just a wide open area screaming to be used in a way that will free up space for other items that I need to get at more...

delivery day Took delivery today. Thanks for enjoying the build process with me and enjoy your 4th on your Formulas!

I posted this on the new OB section but did not get a response so I am going to try it hear where I think most of the Formula outboard owners are located... Just getting a new outboard Formula with Mercs. Being fairly new to OBs I am looking for advice on the following: Pre Run checks - I've...

Shipped She should arrive in CT at Rex Marine tomorrow. Then she goes wet for the bottom paint and final engine tunes, etc. If all goes well she will make her trip up to RI with a stop on Block Island for a beer on the way!

Team OBs - I noticed Admin started a dedicated OB section under power plants. These are very new to Formula and especially to those of us who have committed to owning them. Just wanted to make sure people know it is avail and we can share solid feedback and experiences.

Taking delivery of my first OB Formula in the next week or so. I have had Yamaha OBs on CC's but never a Merc. Anything I should be aware of? Typical DIYs things I should be prepared for? What should I keep in my tool kit that I didn't have for my diesels? One thing I know for sure is an...

Supposed to ship this week. Get prepped and set a water line for the bottom paint. Speaking of paint......

getting there

400R Mercs hung this week.

Tops on...and I still cannot believe the OBs are mounted prior to paint???

Looking like she is getting ready for Imron. I would never have expected to see all the OBs cables/lines installed prior to paint.
