Trojan Boat Forum

Hi all.
I need to re wire the anchor light mounted to the hardtop of my '81 F-26. I can't figure out how Trojan got the wires from the panel to the top of the hardtop. I was going to use the old wire as a fishtape to pull 3 new wires, but the are stuck fast. Anyone know how the wires are routed?

Keep looking.... its haunted

Sweatshirt, definatly

A or D, but they all look cool. I'm in for one if you decide to make them. I lost last year's burgee in a storm, and would love a new one.

Hi all. Boats an '81 F26 with a Merc 228, GM 305. Just installed a Floscan fuel flowmeter with a totalizer. Did a run today, and here's what I saw.

Sweet

Nice boat. Yess, my 228 Merc is a GM 305. Good luck!!!

DON"T DO IT. You are correct, there is a risk of water ingestion. Better to remove the manifold if you want to try flushing it.

My '81 will hit 22 kts at 4100 RPM. I generally cruise at 3100 RPM and I make between 15-18 kts depending on the load. 3100 is where the boat seems happiest.

His other items are interesting too. I think I'll save him as a favorite seller

Mine did the same thing.... always noisier in reverse. My fluid looked clean also, and was right up to the mark on the stick. I changed the fluid last season, and the whine all but disappeared. How old is your fluid?

I don't know, but last spring I applied the black, and I'll never go back.

Bottom paint on the boat, of course

Thought I would post a pic of my weekend project on the F26 renovation. Finished the second coat of Pettit Protect on the bottom this afternoon. That stuff is not really easy to paint on, very thick. Hopefully next weekend there will be a pic of blue bottom paint complete with boot stripe.[img][img...
