Love that Formula company

I just got off the phone with Bob at the Formula Tech line. They must have the best records in the world. My mechanical trim indicators have been sticky for three years now and I've been forcing some WD40 in the cables which has only been a temporary fix. So while the engines are out , I figured I'll change my cables.
Well , what I wanted to do is have my new ones ready and just fasten them to the old one and pull them through as I remove the old ones. Problem is I didn't know what size or thread type the Morse cables were.
Gave Bob my HIN # and he popped off 33c style one 17' and the other 20'.
Formulas tech support is GREAT
I've used them other times to get answers and it's always the same great service , and my boats an '89

That's good they were able to help you. Do you have twin's with trim tabs, with the 4 indicator slides? If so, you probably won't be as happy doing the job as you are now. That panel was a pain to work with when I changed 2 of 4 cables last year. Maybe if you are doing all the cables at the same time it could be easier. They could have designed it better IMO.

Yeah, I know it's a PIA. I had mine apart last year to repaint it from black to white since I changed to white guages and white panels. Had to have this match too , and just coulldn't see buying a new one when it was so easy to paint

They've been helpful since my first Formula, a 242/twin small blocks which I purchased in 93'.

Thumbs up mopowers dash

That looks to be a real nice dash job you did there Mo,do you have any other bigger picks to show the complete dash with your wheel too? Just wondered not to big a deal if you don't. I also have plans on doing something similar to what you have there. Nice job again, keep up the good work on your Formula, gotta love those old Birds. Propwash

Mo, the dash looks great except for the "overspray" on the compass
