Re: Minor tweaks to my boat

does the livewell pop into the layette area? I've been looking for a picture of the factory livewell just to see how they did it.

Re: Crusader 454 troubleshooting question

Choke plate goes vertical when the engine is warmed up. It's closed when cold, so I believe the choke is working as intended. Motor starts and runs fine, but once warmed up idle gets rough and it looses maybe 100 RPM or so. I put new fuel lines and Racor filters on at the beginning of the season and...

Re: Crusader 454 troubleshooting question

Thanks, will check the choke. Its a Q-jet with the spring loaded choke. I cleaned the spring up and lubed it at the beginning of the season. Will take a look tho, thanks!

Crusader 454 troubleshooting question

Hello all, wondering if you can help out a bit and point me in the right direction. My starboard Crusader 454 started running very poorly at idle on the way back in from a cruise. It almost sounds like its missing, sort of like a Harley motor sound. If I increase the throttle it runs great. I notice...

Re: Minor tweaks to my boat

Nice, I wonder if it was a separate option from the transom seats? I don't have them and I never thought of something like that, but I bet they would be great. Thanks for posting the picture. I may have to make something like that over the winter.

Re: What carburetor for a crusader model 350?

I thought I read that the Edlebrock Carbs give much better fuel economy. Must have been on the Crusader forums, or maybe here. I was considering swapping, but spent all my boat cash on other projects this year.

Re: Minor tweaks to my boat

Cool picture! I don't have the wetbar so its good to see one in case I want to build one.
I have the two long transom seats, but it looks like you have 2 smaller benches along the gunnels as well. Are these stock? Or did you add them?

I ordered a complete set of owners manuals and diagrams and it is VERY comprehensive. I even got the original sales paperwork!

Re: Hynautic Steering Question

My lines are on the "fix" list too. Will be watching the thread to see what everyone's recommendation is. I seem to have a mix of black rubber like lines (where it goes thru the engine room bulkhead) and copper lines thru the layette to the pump/filter/reservoir (not sure what it is).

Re: 10 Meter 454 losing power

Here is a pic of my fuel tank original fittings. Can't remember which was the anti siphon, but think it was the last fitting prior to the flare fitting. I replaced both of mine since I also replaced all fuel lines with A1 hose and added Racor fuel filters. Your fuel filters are OK? How about the lit...

Re: Trojan International Logos

My logos are identical to the ones on your boat.
Port is looking back. Starboard is looking forward.
