    Bad case of Bravoitis - changing to thru-hulls

    My clamshells are facing forward. If there was too much pressure and water was forced past the impellor, the only place it could go is the normal route where the impellor pushes the water....that cannot damage the engine. I was going through 1 to 2 impellors per season before I switched to...

    Weird alarm

    There is a gas fume detector at the helm. on a 31pc it was located on a panel under the throttle/shift controls. Sounds like its working as it should. There is a mute button on it for future reference.

    2004 Formula 34PC Engine Hatch Removal

    I have a 06 31pc. I was able to simply unbolt the ram and hinge the hatch backwards and let it rest on the swim platform. I put cardboard and padding down first on the platform side so it didn't hurt anything. It's heavy and you probably want 3 people. 1 in the bilge to unhook ram and lift...

    Does anyone know what brand adjustable poles are used for the cockpit cover ? 2006 PC

    Does anyone know what brand adjustable poles are used for the cockpit cover ? I have a 06 31PC and bent one of the adjustable poles, so now it doesn't adjust so well. I forgot to get the manufacturer of it when I left the boat last weekend. Looking to order one today. Thanks.

    31PC generator battery charging question

    Is the gen battery charged strictly from the battery charger ? Or does the gen charge the battery with it's own alternator and bypass the charger when its running ? My issue is that I ran the generator for about 10 hours the last weekend. It shut down with a strange code of SC and 2 other...

    Cabin Fridge Door/Cabinet linkage

    I was troubleshooting my fridge last year and took the screw out of the top of the fridge where the cabinet door linkage attaches to detach it from the cabinet. Solved the fridge problem this year (was bad thermostat), and not cannot find the screw or pin that goes into the top of the fridge...

    Bennett automatic trim tabs

    I just noticed you have a new boat with a newer switch setup that looks like its a direct replacement. I have the older switch setup. That's what I was talking about with how to mount with older button setups. pic of my switches.....

    Alternate Ladder Options

    They also make that undermount ladder with a spring loaded (red) button rather than the black strap. I had one on my old boat. It worked well.

    I built a drive dolly! (it's... not pretty)

    I built a pretty simple one out of 2x8's with casters on the bottom. I cut (2) 2x8's about 18" long for the center section, and another (2) about 12" long for the ends. I spaced the center boards 1/2" apart so the skeg fits in between. Only downfall of this setup, is you cannot change the oil...

    Bravo Drive not trimiing up with switch.

    One of my bravo's is not trimming up with the dash switch OR the throttle switch. The other trims fine with either switch. But....It will trim up with the "Trailer" switch, then trim back down with either the dash switch or throttle switch. Any ideas before I start dissecting things ?

    Gas Cap questions

    I also thought that was the fuel vent, but upon inspection, that vent is for the holding tank. I have to look again this weekend at the fill assy from the inside, but I believe I have this one.....

    Gas Cap questions

    I'm trying to figure out how these gas caps vent. I don't see anything obvious when I look at the underside of the cap. Also, is there supposed to be an o-ring in addition to the ^^^^^^ patterned type (thin) gasket that is on there ? ..... see cap picture below. I've noticed a pattern that...

    Water in Gas Tank

    I was able to add enough dry gas + fresh gas to absorb/dilute the water to get the boat running properly again......but now I want to solve the issue. This also happened to me last season. Putting 2 and 2 together, I realized this is happening after heavy storms. we had 5" rain in 1...

    Bravo 3 Cooling

    It's more than likely the hose. Its pretty common on the bravo housings. Here is an example of what it looks like when you pull the inside hose connection on the inner transom assy.... or you can google "bravoitis"
