Just wondering if my water pick-up impellers are still good. How much water should be spitting out of my exaust at idle (mine is set at ~900 RPM). My temp seems to be OK but I dont really trust the guages as they are sticking a bit after some water got in them over the winter. Until I can replace t...

I think we have some nice boats. My f25 has the cloth on the ceiling. I like how ours have all fiber glass through out the galley.

Rodman, Sure do. http://s853.photobucket.com/albums/ab96/vabeach1234/Trojan%20F26/Door%20Air%20Conditioner/ http://s853.photobucket.com/albums/ab96/vabeach1234/Trojan%20F26/ http://s853.photobucket.com/albums/ab96/vabeach1234/Trojan%20F26/Trojan%20Galley/ I am currently in the process of installing...

Yes, the paragon V-drive was the original setup for the at least the 1972 F26 model. I don't think there were many changes between the 71 and 72 models. [/code]
