Small accessory part contact at Formula
I need a few of small parts for my '99 271 (I previously posted for non-Formula sources in this forum with no help), what number do I call at Formula, no local dealer.
I need a replacement cover/flap for the stern running light receptacle, a couple replacement rubber bumpers for the swim ladder and a replacement lense for one of the overhead lights in the cabin

Stern light is Aqua-signal available at West Marine ... I don't think flap is available seperately. Overhead lights may also be available at marine supply stores. You might want to try McMachen Marine in Mt. Clemens, MI (I have never dealt with them) or Monroeville Marine in Ohio @ 419-465-2558. Both are Formula dealers. I think there is also a Formula dealer in Michigan City, IN.

Thanks Red Dog, I have looked at West Marine and they do not carry the same thing. Anytime I have been able to find something close, it is black not white. I have never seen the overhead light fixtures anywhere, (West Marine, BoatUS, Overtons, etc).
I assumed they were mainly OEM stock and I would have to go back to Formula.
There is a Formula dealer at LOTO several hours away, I could call them and get them to get the parts I am sure, just thought I could do it myself easier (and cheaper).

Formula won't deal directly with a customer on parts purchases.
I tried to buy a new T-bird emblem to replace the one that fell off in the water. No good, they did give me the part number and told me to contact a local dealer.
