yes, it was an opinion and my boat has it. I just cannot find where the inline connection is.

If the switch used to cut the power and all the DC lights work correctly I would swap out the switch as it sounds like it has gone bad. If the lights do not work I would check the main electrical panel over the generator in the engine room.

Does anyone know where the UV light for the HVAC is located? Is it on the main salon unit or somewhere else on the boat?

I hope all you Formula boaters have a happy new year and are starting to think about time on the water. Do you have any interesting projects planned for your boat during the off season?

That unit is under the sofa in the main salon ( back section) you will more than iikely have to take the back section of the middle sofa and the back section of the back of the sofa out to get to it. It is a process and i would review your manual before starting the project as it is not an easy...

I am 98% sure that is a Formula designed and made part as I have never seen it on another boat brand. Your best resource will be TAG . I have one on my 2017 45 Yacht so they probably still have some in the parts bin

Dave, I am looking forward to hearing about your trip. I have often thought that the 45 would be a perfect boat for the loop. If you decide to make a detour into the Cumberland River to visit Nashville let we know and will Have dinner.

I can tell you that we love our 2017 45 Yacht as you can see from my signature I was a very loyal Sea Ray guy for decades until thier designs and quality issues caused me to look at other manufacturers so during a two year time frame I looked at and ran many different boats and found the...

Did you find one?

I find mine runs very true to factor specs. While i am not a guy that runs wide open much I do like a good turn of speed at an economical cruise. One of the most impressive aspects of these boats is that they are large and comfortable but have a heart and soul of a sport boat. I have to be...

I see many newer 45's that have what appears to be a black rubber tread in the steps going down to the cabin. While my boat was ordered pretty loaded my steps do not have these black treads in the grooves. My steps are not slick but I like the look so my question is was this an option or...

This thread has been very quiet lately so I wanted to check in to see what interesting projects that the group are planning / working on over the winter. Let?s talk about our upgrades and maintenance plans to get our boats ready for a great 2023 boating season.

I am chasing a problem where I have fresh water in the compartment where the fresh water accumulator and fresh water pump is. I have removed about 3 gallons of water in this area three times in the last three weeks. All of the water connections and pipes in this area as secure and not leaking...

I will be setting up my Satellite TV system this spring and using the KVH dome and a mounted dish at my dock as my boat is undercover so the dome cannot see the sky from the dock. Fortunately the boat has a built in AB switch so I can change from dome to dish easily. Now the real question...

Does anyone have a best practice on how to clean the plasdeck cockpit flooring? Mine is dirty and has dark oils imbedded in the flooring in the heavy walk areas. So I want to clean all of the flooring evenly so as not to have any dark and light discoloring in the deck. Anyone has any suggestions?

Anyone know how many 45 Yachts Formula built over the production years of the model ? It would be interesting to to how many they built in each year and a total production run. I expect that it is a low number as it seems like in later years it was a more of a "order" vs an inventory stock boat.

I keep my boat in the water in a covered slip during our mild southern winters with marine heaters in the bilge and the salon so that I can use the boat on mild days during the winter. My question is does anyone have tips on how to partially winterize the water lines to ensure the Anchor Wash...

I have about 5 Blue LED bow rail lights that are burned out before, I order them I wanted to see if anyone has replaced them and what the best practice is for their replacement as there does not appear to be much slack in the interior wiring to get to a socket or a connection. Any suggestions...

So I have my new to me 2017 45 Yacht at home in my slip and have a few questions for you guys. I have a couple of blue LED lights under my bow rail that need to be replaced. How do you replace them? Does the boat have a central fresh water manifold that to make it easier to drain certain...

Hello guys, I am a long term Sea Ray guy that has finally decided to change over to another brand (after 32 years ) so I am actively looking for a Formula 45 Yacht. At the same time I have always had twin shaft or twin v drives so the thought of IPS Pods interests me as I like to focus on the...
