I have a Formula 350CBR with 16 JL Audio M6 speakers and a 10 inch JL Audio sub, an M600/6 amp and an M400/4 amp with an PMX3 Rockford Fosgate Head unit. The sound is clear but feels tinny. I was thinking of adding a monoblock amp for the sub. Is that a good idea? Any other suggestions? I am new...
I have a new Formula 350 CBR with trip outboards. I ordered it without a cover and had an automatic Sunstream Swiftshied mooring cover installed. I cant imagine how hard it would be to fully cover the boat manually. Anyhow, it works great. Literally I can cover or uncover the boat in 30...
I am installing a motion sensor on my boat. It has 4 wires - red black white and green. The instructions say to connect the red to +12V, the black to -12V, the white to the security input on my command module and the green to a common ground. Why can't the green and the black both go to the...
I flush my engines after every use but never the generator. On my new boat I plan to run the generator often since I heard that is best for it. Do you flush the generator? If so, how?
Would hooking a hose up to this and running the generator while on the lift work?
My insurance company requires me to have a battery connected GPS marine tracker. Any advice on a device and a service provider? I just want to meet the insurance companies criteria. I am not very concerned about theft
My current boat has a fair amount of rust on the engines, generator and other parts in the bilge. I know it is unavoidable but it really bugs me. I take delivery of my new boat (Formula 350CBR with trip outboards) 10/30 and want to do all I can to prevent rust. I have T-9 which i plan to use...
Recently my remote flood light broke. I rarely boat after dark but for those times I wanted a flood light for emergency purposes. I always found the remote light to be awkward to use. I was thinking a hand held would be much more efficient. Does anyone have any recommendations?
Two weeks ago I was anchored at a sand bar and the tide was going out so I trimmed my engines up. The starboard engine would not go up. It sounded like it was but no movement. Last week before going out I tried to trim it up at my dock and it went up fine. Trimmed it down and the gauge went...
My depth finder was working sporadically and now not at all. Hooks into my Raymarine GPS unit. Should I just replace the transducer ir could there be other issues.
Also, if I change the transducer with the added goal of gaining a fish finder is that just a different transducer or is there...
My retractable ladder is bent and it does not look like I can fix it. It will no longer extend. Where is the best place to get a new one. I don't need the mounting hardware but I imagine they come as a package.
Thanks

Not too long ago I had a no start on my port engine. The main fuse was blown. They thought it could be the starter tripping it. I had the starter and the fuse replaced. My engine would not start yesterday - not even a click. I'm thinking the fuse might be blown. Does anyone know the...
My boat sits on a lift and the radar arch bakes in the sun. I can;t build a permanent cover, This looks intriguing.

Went out for a ride, docked the boat for lunch and on return the port engine wouldn't start. Voltage read 12. Tried emergency start - didn't work. No crank. Error message says "Start sequence stopped. Turn key off and re-try."
Still no start.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

My primary bilge pump and float switch are both shot. The pump is Attwood 1700GPH, the switch is Attwood with cvr. I don't know what cvr stands for. Would anyone recommend a better pump and/or switch?
I was out and the emergency bilge pump went off again repeatedly. Lifted the hatch and water was spewing out of a broken blue seacock on the port engine. Part of the seacock is still in the hole. Any thoughts on getting it out. Where can I get a replacement?
My primary bilge pump works manually but not automatically. I believe the float switch is located in the pump but I could be wrong. Does anyone know what pump I would purchase?

Our boat has 2 actuators that lift the engine hatch. One is disconnected from the underside of the hatch and the coupler that connects the actuator to the hatch hardware is missing. Who knows where it went. Maybe it was put aside by a mechanic but it is gone. Where could I get such a part?
