xPost from OSO: "I bought a Carver "Performance Poly-Guard" cover for my 271 FASTech last year in June. After a little over a year of use, it seems to have lost most of its impermeability. I processed a replacement through Carver. I am told one can spray it with some stuff and recondition...

Seems my 2000 271 has a bad navigation lights rocker switch. There are some aftermarket replacement that "may" work with some "bridging" at the switch... Does anyone know if there is a direct replacement of the original switch available? Thanks in advance.

Also posted at OSO but decided to cross-post here in case there is anyone with specific 271 suggestions based on personal experience.... Need to adjust the Trim Limit and Position Sender switches on my Bravo 1 behind the bone-stock Gen VI 502 Mag MPI in my 2000 271 FASTech. Found the Merc...

Trying to figure out why the bilge high-water alarm is not working. Float switch is working but no alarm if I hold the float "up". Tried doing it with ignition on, off, etc. Also held it for 20+ seconds in case there was some sort of timer, and still nothing. Is there a separate high-water...

There is a rubber drain plug forward of the motor in the bilge area. It is attached to a wire and has a tightening mechanism to keep the plug in-place and close that drain. I presume the plug is to prevent water from the bilge to enter into that drain and work its way forward in case of high...

Been trying to find one of those charts/graphics that map RPM vs Speed, GPH, MPH. Like the ones presented in test reviews. Is there one for the late 90s/2000 271 Fastechs? If not, is there one you would use as a reference? I know I probably will "learn" what the boat likes and does not, but...

As a backup to electronics, would anyone recommend waterproof nav charts that work best for the area? Thanks in advance, Pablo.

Could not really find recent sources mentioned by searching so I'll ask: Where can I find/order OEM replacement parts for Formula boats? For example, I need the "FASTech" emblems, swim platform shower cover, etc. Thanks in advance.

First post for me after lurking for time. Moved to SE Cape Coral in January. Had a 1990s Fountain Fever 27 years ago. Buying a 2000 Formula 271 Fastech tomorrow. Entire boat is original and bone stock. I would qualify it as mint and exceptionally well maintained. As I posted in OSO: "After so...
