Global Positioning Satellite (GPS)—At least two
GPS options are available in your Formula boat –
a standalone GPS receiver and a combination
GPS/Chartplotter. A GPS provides precise
information regarding a vessel’s location and
speed and can also be used to plan and record
trip routes. The chartplotter provides additional
navigation capabilities, including the use of
digitized charts for specific boating areas, which
can be purchased in chip format. Refer to the
manufacturer’s owner manual in the Formula
Owner Information Binder for specific information
relative to your boat’s GPS or GPS/Chartplotter.

Hot Water Heater— When the engines are
operating, hot engine coolant is circulated through
a coil in the water heater, heating the fresh water.
Refer to Specifications, in Section 3, for your hot
water tank capacity.
The water heater operates on 110V AC power. To
operate the water heater, the AC/DC panel must
be supplied with 110V power and the AC panel
switch labeled WATER HEATER must be ON.
NOTICE
A “passive” means for heating onboard
water is accomplished via plumbing
between the engines and the water heater.
Whenever the engines are operated, water
contained within the water heater will be
heated by circulating engine coolant. Refer
to your Formula Owner Information Binder
for specific instructions and information
pertaining to this accessory as described
in the manufacturer’s literature.
Water heaters unused for more than two weeks
may produce hydrogen gas.
To reduce the risk of injury under these
conditions, open the hot water faucet for several
minutes at the galley sink before you use any
electrical appliance connected to the hot water
system.
Do not smoke or have any flame near an
open faucet; hydrogen gas is extremely
flammable.
If hydrogen is present, you probably will hear
unusual sounds like air escaping through the pipe
as water begins to flow. Allow the water to flow
until these sounds disappear.
