Re: Trojan F36 Salon Main Windows Shifted

Sorry for poor description.
I think last response is direction I was going.

The windows that shifted in their frame are the large fixed ones at the front of the salon that meet with the windshield frame.

I will try moving them again and get pics

Trojan F36 Salon Main Windows Shifted

The main windows that go from the windshield to the sliders on the sides of the salon have both shifted towards the the cockpit about 1". They are in there tight, and cannot be moved by hand and I am assuming I need to disassemble or somehow relive the pressure on them to move them back into pl...

Re: Loose belt cause overheating?

change all my belts, which was interesting because on the Chrysler there are two belts running in parallel: Over the pulley at engine center, over the alternator, and then over the water pump pulley. Tension set by alternator position. With 2 new belts I had trouble getting them both tight - appears...

pulled thermostats out last night and went out.... still got hot. Weather was bad, cold.... did not want to dive in and check the through-hull grates at the intakes. Anyone have a photo of what one of these grates looks like? (1974 F36 boat with Chrysler M400's) I do not have strainers - just a grat...

Re: F36 Overheating both engines

I suspect I have restriction there. Going for a dive today. All new impellers...4 of them. I used heat gun ...

Replacing Main Seacock on 1974 F36

I have a stuck seacock on my SB engine - the main inlet for engine RWC.
The lock handle broke off.

Looking for advice on how to replace it this off-season. Scary thought tearing into a 40 year old hull.
