Re: HARD TOP TRI CABIN W/OUT SWIM PLATFORM ON EBAY!!

The sofa, Aaron? That's the only thing you could do without? :D The curtains look like bed sheets I bought ca. 1971. the curtains are just too painful to look at nancy. and yes, they too would go. but the sofa, well, that's just bloody awful. as for the lack of swim platform, i've a tri cabin w/ ou...

Re: 74 Tricabin power

here is my advice to you. slide every panel open. open every drawer and hatch. get to know your boat. the breaker panel that you mentioned SHOULD be on the starboard side, behind the sliding panel in the salon as you go down the steps to the aft stateroom. even though i grew up with the tri cabin, ...

Re: 74 Tricabin power

the 1972 tri cabin i grew up with had the duel 30A service. onboard hookups were located in the aft cockpit port and starboard. the main breaker is on the electrical panel in the salon, at least that's how our setup was. standard house hold panel and breakers along with genset cutover and crossover...

Re: F36 Tricabin

Congratulations on the new boat. It looks like it has a hard top. I don't think I have ever seen a TriCabin with a hardtop other than a few that were obvious custom or aftermarket jobs. This one looks like it may be factory. Any idea if Trojan offered a hardtop for the TriCab? How is the headroom u...

Re: Shower pump running continuously. Need some tips

kai. the aft shower sump is right infront of the aft berth. there should be an access hatch right there. mine did the same thing until i cleaned the float. DO NOT IGNORE this location. it can get really nasty. after brad and i use the boat and head out, i always drain that sump so nothing sits in i...

Re: How to remove bilge magnets.

You will find that manual on the top shelf of your library right beside the one marked "Safe Place". You know the "Safe Place". That's where all the stuff you cannot find goes. I must have put that in a safe place. i thought that was 'on order'. you know, that mysterious place i...
