Prop replacement - 89 Formula 242 SS / 7.4 330hp Bravo One

Howdy, the Mirage 21P that came with my boat had a pretty hard life before I met her, and since I need a backup prop anyhow thought I would just upgrade and keep her for a spare. Also I ran WOT on...

89 242 SS - stuck fuel gauge

Howdy! I thought at first my dream had come true and I had found a tilt and trim combo that yielded 100% fuel economy, but after a few hours I realized my fuel gauge was stuck on full. Ran it down to...

Re: 89 242 SS - What's behind the door?

Re: 89 242 SS - What's behind the door?

Hey, that's the same part number that I just got from Formula by email. But they say I have to buy it from a local dealer. Unfortunately, the nearest "local" dealer is a few hundred miles away. Can...

Re: 89 242 SS - What's behind the door?

Hey, just brought my 242 home yesterday, unfortunately the weather is supposed to be crap for the next week so she may be staying on the trailer for awhile.

Re: 1989 242 LS vs SS - what's the diff?

BTW, halffast, is this the "ocean" color you mentioned? And kjo, my cockpit layout looks identical to yours.
