    33ss cockpit cover

    There should be a plastic D-ring kind of piece that hooks over your storm snap..... Kind of like these... I imagine you could get replacements from a canvas shop or try contacting Formula, they're famously helpful.

    400SS on Grand Cayman

    I'm jealous. While on Grand Cayman we saw a 400SS at the C.I Yacht Club. I don't think it could get ny better than that; having your 400SS on the island. Deep sigh!

    370SS short distance trailering and launching

    I'm curious what everyone is using to trailer and launch their 370SS and comparable boats with. We're loving the 330SS but looking at bigger now. We've driven a 370SS and it will be our next boat. We store it about 12 non-highway miles from the launch ramp so there is no long distance...

    Macerator?

    On my 2002 330SS there are two switches in the head; a light switch and one that results in a motor running somewhere. I think it is the macerator. What, exactly, does this do? I don't think it pumps anything off the boat. Does it just grind stuff for easier pumpout or is there another purpose...

    Will Gently Used Bravo III Benefit From Premium Drive Lube?

    Boat is a Formula 330SS with 496 Mags (alas, not the H.O.s). Engines and drives have 375 hours on them. I have the Simrek drive showers which seem to be working well because I no longer get white chalky deposits on my drives after running and them immersing them coming off plane.Drive showers...

    How to jump dead batteries

    So, I am wondering..... If I get to the boat and both batteries are dead, how do I lift the hatch to jump start the boat? I see a pair of heavy-duty terminals under the dashboard. Are these suitable places to attach a portable battery jumper?

    Adjusting Tiebar

    I have an Eddie Marine Tiebar on order. The drives center to center are 34.5 apart measured at the transom on the center of the transom assemblies. When I get the bar on and go to adjust it, should the distance between the drives be spot on 34.5.or should it be more or less?

    Adding SmartCraft?

    Our 2002 Formula has "SmartCraft" decals on both of the 496 Mags and the Bravo IIIs. We do not have any smartcraft gauges. We looked at a 2002 or 2003 Powerquest 320 last year that had a digital SmartCraft display that looked to give all sorts of great info on the status of the...

    Heated v Cold Storage

    We're looking into heated storage at our Formula dealer in northern, MI this winter, as opposed to cold. We have quotes for both. Even taking into account the reduced cost for prep work with the heated, it is still a grand or more. Both storage options are inside. Is heated worth it? And why...

    Replacing bunks on Eagle Trailer

    Several bunks on my 2002 Eagle are in need of replacing. What wood are folks using? Treated or untreated. Cypress or cedar or pine? Or is there another material (PVC, for example) that I should consider? Thanks

    Kohler Generator Surging and Stalling

    The Kohler gennie on our boat starts fine, but surges up and down in RPM continually. After several minutes it will cut out entirely from time to time. Any ideas on what's up?

    LED upgrade on 2002 330SS

    I have upgraded most of the lights on our boat now to LED. It took a bit of trial and error. Here is what we ended up with... Cabin ceiling lights- http://www.superbrightleds.com/search/led-products/g4-xwhp15-tac/ The larger tower style were too big. The flat disc style had the pins oriented...

    Drive Showers and External Tie Bars

    Has anyone put a Simrek Halo and a saddle mount Tie Bar like the Eddie Marine unit on their boats? I want to be sure they are compatible since they both attach at the end of the trim rams.

    Fuel Fill Whistler

    I hate splashing fuel when filling and the 330SS doesn't seem to give much warning. Has anyone used a product that goes into the vent line and whistles while filling, then stops when almost full? Kind of like this one... http://www.greenmarineproducts.com/products.html or this one...

    Bravo III Outdrive Wobble

    While adjusting the trim limit pucks on my outdrive, I noticed more slop in the port side than was in the starboard side. How much should I be able to wiggle the outdrives before worrying? The boat is a 2003 with about 340 hours on it.

    Trim Position and Trim Limit puck adjustments

    Both of my Bravo IIIs seem to tilt at different speeds based on the gauges and didn't stop at the max safe trim position. I figured the trim position and trim limit switches needed attention. The mechanic at my yard seemed unable to do them, which seemed weird, since I figured it was a basic...

    TH Marine Underwater LEDs

    Has anyone tried these U/W LEDs? http://www.thmarine.com/products/Lights/Underwater-Lights/Underwater-LED-Lights Some of their products look like ones Formula uses, but I had never heard of them until a fellow boater mentioned them.

    330SS- Location of Seacock for Head

    I just spent a fun-filled hour or so rebuilding the Jabsco toilet in the 330. The instructions say to have a seacock on the unit. I can't find one. Can anyone shed some light on it for me?

    Bicycle Rack for SunSport

    Has anyone found a good bike rack for their SunSport? I've seen some racks made for boats, but they need more height from swim platform to grab bar than my 330 SunSport has. I have a 2002 with the short rail along the bow so that is out. I want to avoid trying to bungee the bikes to the...
