LandVF36...This is a post from Oct 27, 2007 Repower 10 meter I am about 95% complete on repowering a 10 Mtr. Sedan with 330 Cummins ReCons. I did the job myself, with some help from my father, my 2 sons, and a friend at my marina. I did all the fabrication work in my garage at home. All the brackets...

Ooooppssss!... Sorry...too much of the "Holiday Cheer"...Funny though, It just didn't seem right at the time. Unless you only have 2 weeks of warm weather, 400 miles in a season doesn't sound like a lot. This season, diesel was @$2.60 a gal. and gas was @$3.50. RWS is correct about the oth...

A "YEARLY" cruise of 400 miles????? Rebuild the 440 and go on with life...

400 miles per year, 1/2 m.p.g, 200 gallons of fuel, $3.75 a gal. $750.00 per season...

with deepest sympathy...

Happy Holidays To All!!! Hmmm...53 degrees at the marina today...It sure felt good to take a little cruise...Home now and time to hit the bottles of cheer.....

Winterize?.....Bah Humbug!

What looks like delamination may be where a little extra chop was used to beef up the spot where the valves were installed. When I removed my valves from my '86, the hull liner and hull were not compressed together at that spot. When I put new seacocks in, I mixed a small batch of epoxy and filler a...

Believe it or not, there is a crude design of a duct for the vents. The vents have collectors that open into a boxed-in area under the window. The starboard box turns down in the form of a plumbing/wire chase that puts the wiring, the a/c condensor lines and condensate drain for the salon a/c down i...

When I removed the old painted on name , it did leave a ghost. I buffed the transom with 3m Super Rubbing compound, then with Finesse-it. Applied the new lettering and waxed with 3M Marine wax. No, I'm not a pitch man for 3M products...this is just what works best for me. Oh yeah...I did break down ...

From the picture, it doesn't look as these letters have been on for a long time. My graphics were on the boat for 10 years and I removed them by warming with a heat gun...worked fine. I didn't get my official name change papers from the "Coast Guard Gods" until it was too cold to apply the...

I have used the Good free-fall rope windlass on my '86 10 meter since new (new to me in '96) and it has served well. As a part of my recent repower project, I anticipated the installation of a rope/chain windlass. I have extended my bay cruising to include coastal diving. As of now, the windlass is ...

I am not familiar with fresh water boating, however, I do keep my 10 Meter in all year. Located on Nabbs Creek, the water is brackish and what works for me is Petit Trinidad. Although pricey, it affords me 3 seasons between bottoms. Even after the 3rd season, the bottom was basically spotless when i...

Todd, I am about 95% complete on repowering a 10 Mtr. Sedan with 330 Cummins ReCons. I did the job myself, with some help from my father, my 2 sons, and a friend at my marina. I did all the fabrication work in my garage at home. All the brackets and new engine beds are fabbed using stainless and wer...

The Rendezvous is once again being held at Mears Great Oak Landing Marina on Fairlee Creek. As I stated, it's the weekend of Aug. 25th. I'll be there Friday afternoon the 24th. I went by land in 2005 because my boat was out of commission. It was still great to see so many Trojans in one spot. Diesel...

Anyone going to the Trojan Rendezvous in Maryland the weekend of August 24th?

Just noticed your post about the 1 1/2" sanitation hose not fitting. Here's a little trick I found about the white spiral bound hose...Use a heat gun or hair dryer to warm the hose until it is pliable. Be careful not to burn it. Putting it on or taking it off, once warmed, you have a few minute...
