Re: Buyer beware with online parts shopping

Here is the answer in pictures. If you buy a Crusader Nut and Washer you will get the big nut which takes a 11/16 wrench. If you buy a aftermarket installation ket from which comes with studs and washers you get a smaller nut which takes a 9/16 wrench. We sell the Barr kit and have never had a prob...

Re: Moving the engine seacocks

About the placement of the seacocks. I can appreciate that it may be important that they are where they are because it was the optimal position for them to be, in regards to the flow of water as the boat is motoring along, particularly when the pedal is to the metal and a good portion of the hull ma...

Re: Moving the engine seacocks

The internal strainers normally did not come on the Trojans , so they where likely added on some point . You could remove them and put external strainers over your intakes if you don't have them all ready . Really?? I have the grate on the thru-hull. Is that what you mean by an external sea straine...

Re: Moving the engine seacocks

So does anyone see any issues with moving the sea strainers to the front of the engines and leaving the seacocks where they are at the back of the engine room? This would mean a 1 1/4" hardwall rubber hose, same as there is from the factory now. The difference being instead of the sea strainer...

Re: Moving the engine seacocks

I note the rusty section of the "T" that was seeping salty water onto the bolts for the through hull! That's mind boggling that someone would let their hose clamps get into the condition in those images. As for the T bolt clamps with the welded connection as opposed to the ones with the f...

Re: Moving the engine seacocks

there is likely a REASON the seacocks are located where the factory put them. Suggest you do as much research as possible BEFORE attempting to re-engineer this system. +1 on what Prowlerfish said about the BRONZE. I found the Maleron overboard drains on my boat to be brittle and several were cracke...

Re: Moving the engine seacocks

1986 Trojan 37 Sport Sedan ?? Is this a 11 meter sedan ? If so you have a cored hull . Where the seacocks are now is not cored . Where you plan to move them it is corded . If you do move them you will have to seal the coring and it has to be done right , no room for error , none . Then the bedding ...

Re: Buyer beware with online parts shopping

Sure wish you could post some photos . As I never had any issues . If the replacements are smaller outside , I don't see a issue . The wash would spread the load if needed . I have not heard of any issues from any other owners or marine techs . So I guess I am missing something ????? I'm inclined t...

Moving the engine seacocks

I have a 1986 Trojan 37 Sport Sedan. The engine seacocks are in a very strange place, aft of the engines almost right against the aft engine room bulkhead. You can't access the seacocks unless you lift the floor over each engine to get at them. The genset sits between the engines so there is less th...
