Re: Exhaust Geometry

Things get changed over the years on old boats Selling parts? What happened with FB? "Sorry, I am tired of Facebook, so I am here. Just e-mail me if you want any info that I might have! FYI, I have access to 2 - 1976 F32 Sedans, 1 1974 F32 Sedan, 1 F36 Sedan (with Aft Deck Helm), and 1 1978 F26...

Re: Exhaust Geometry

As a rule the exhaust should get lower as it gets to the stern assuming you have stern exhaust. You did not say what Trojan you had some had stern some had underwater and some side exhaust. Due to the boats construction sometimes turns were used.

Re: Cleaning Walls in F36 V-Berth

That is a good question. A lot of the cleaners for mold/mildew have a lot of fumes. Not something I would want to use in that area.

Re: F 36 prop size

I'll apologize up front for interrupting this conversation with a new topic (or at least different stats). I have a 1989 F36 sportfish with twin crusader 454's. The old owner put 4 blade props on the boat and the performance is suffering greatly. PROWLERFISH: Can you tell me the correct prop size a...

Re: Thru Hull / Strut Backing Material

Polyester should be fine. Here is a link to G10 They have different types. Wood is also fine.

Re: Thru Hull / Strut Backing Material

Plywood was used I believe. Todays plywood is not like it used to be I used Oak on mine ( F36). Others have used marine plywood, marine plywood with epoxy, plastic boards and G10 fiberglass I would never use treaded plywood, it has too many voids. If I was to replace my Oak I would go with G10. G10 ...

Re: Trojan 36' Tri-Cabin Propeller size and Pitch

The Tri cabin never came with 318s. Assuming you're not talking about a tri-fly. They only came with the 360 (250hp) Chrysler and Mercruiser 255hp(351?) Factory props are 20x17. When picking props I often recommend reducing the pitch from factory specs. As very few are in factory new condition/ If f...

Re: Oil Pressure Gauges

Assuming nothing was changed it sounds like a ground issue. But it is odd it's the upper and lower. If it was only one engine I would think about a sender issue. Still posable, any work done over the winter?

Re: old gauges

Joe, That tach is not original. The hour meter is digital. They did not have digital back then and the OEM tachs were also cable-driven. A new hour meter will be at zero. The OEM would likely say trojan on them. Not sure who made them. Any photos of the other gauges so I can tell you if they are OEM...

Re: 1974 Trojan F25 soft spots

It is possible but it is much better and easier done from the top. I had the same issue and rather than cut it open, I used a product called injectadeck. I was happy withe the results. Here is a link to the thread on my repair https://www.trojanboats.net/wforum/viewtopic.php?p=111878&hilit=injec...

Re: New to the group & Trojans Buying an 11M Express

Congrats and good luck. Make sure the inspection is really a Survey done by a NAMS or a SAMS-accredited surveyor. At 2 years it is time to paint the bottom again. Hope all goes well.
