Yes! I used Scigrip and so far, so good!

Thank you!

thank you!

Like many of you with older Formulas, our hatch handles have come unglued. I finally got some info together on them and got a quote from Bomar that made my jaw drop. Just one Bomar hatch for the hardtop is $2300. Outrageous. I am going to try to reglue with Scigrip- a product suggested on this...

We had water in the cabin bilge from a small leak in the shower box. The electrical wire for the float switch comes through the bottom corner of the box.

Wonder if anyone has added a removable sun shade for their cockpit area. I have a 40pc with hardtop and have see some designs that use the rod holders and the edge of hardtop to extend canvas or perhaps sunbrella material. Haven’t see it on a Formula except the permanent design. I’m looking for...

Just a follow up - I bought 200’ Peerless G43 1/4” from Defender. Not cheap at $5.65/ft, but I am a big believer in do it once, do it right. Painted every 25’ and installed a washdown in the anchor locker. Thanks for your advice and suggestions. BTW, I’m going to post a request for suggestions...

Ha! Thanks for the clarification. Yes, we marked the last chain with zip ties. Didn’t last too long, so we will probably paint the new one. I have an email into Peerless, which makes or at least distributes the Acco brand. The product number I got from TAG is not listed on their site, so I’m...

Thanks for the advice. So all chain it is. Scott at Formula TAG gave me the original chain info -its Acco brand HT 1/4” galvanized. Now I’m trying to find a place that will sell me 200’ as it comes in a barrel of 400’. Approximately $3000 vs. $1500. Is all high tensil chain created equal? If...

Anchor chain had been neglected and abused by prior owners of my ‘04 40pc. I am installing an anchor wash down to keep it from happening again. Original is galvanized and I had to cut off 50’ when I first bought the boat. Now I am looking for advice on replacing the whole thing, but 200’ of...

I will be installing shelves in the master berth starboard closet and, if that goes well, in the cabin closet aft of the breaker panel. Would love to get opinions on best material to use. Anyone do this project?

We were talking about this last April. Someone here posted this pic and I noticed that my battery tunnel did not have the cover. Scott from TAG was going to do some research but I didn?t follow up with him. He did say it is covered with a material called Lonseal.

Can’t find anything online...

Put in new batteries this month and realized there should be a third cover or plate to stand on over the battery tunnel. Going to contact TAG next, but any other ideas on where I could find one? 2004 40 PC. Thanks.

Did the trick! Thanks again, Nate.
