I'm casting about looking for experience on the board on my latest SNAFU. I won't bore you with how this happened, but today I fouled my port Bravo 3 props with a 3/8" twisted (vs. braided) mooring line. First off, everything here happened at idle speed as I was moving my boat down 3 slips at...

Yesterday, as I was docking my 310SS (8.2L / Bravo 3s), I thought I detected a noticeable delay (2-3 seconds) in engaging the gear on one engine when I shifted from reverse to forward. I was at flat idle at the time and it was at the end of an hour cruise when everything was a-ok in terms of...

My 310SS (8.2L Mercruisers) is currently propped with what I believe to be a 30" pitch Bravo Three prop set. Part numbers are ... Front: 48-831867 30p Rear: 48-831868 30p I'd like to have a spare prop set on hand "just in case" - but I'm finding that most every prop house that inventories...

I'm reaching out to the forum since Bennett seems not to have a good explanation for an anomaly where one trim tab was quasi "locked" down ... here's the note I sent them a few days ago ... "I did nothing to the tabs today that I don’t normally do … full down to get up on plane, then short 1...

Folks, I'm the newest (of 3) owners on a 2015 310SS. The boat is equipped with Formula's "standard" Vacuflush system. As I read Dometic/Sealand literature, I see that they encourage proactive duckbill replacement. Since the boat has 3 boating seasons on it, with no maintenance on any system...

Folks, I'm new to the forum and new to Formula, but I expect to be the new owner of a 2015 310SS based in Cincinnati. Its on a triple axle trailer and seems to be ready to transport. I'm looking for references with commercial haulers that have both experience, insurance and certs to haul this...
