Re: 1987 13 Meter Express Hardtop - Newly Acquired

So I did a little wire tracing and found that I have two Automatic Power Transfer Switches for the dual 50's and dual 30's, both with independent galvanic isolators -which may be causing my ground fault issue(s). Else my manual power switches at the main control panel.. need to troubleshoot some mor...

Re: 1987 13 Meter Express Hardtop - Newly Acquired

@Rick, trip went well. Having some electrical issues at the new marina but I'm sure I'll get them figured out shortly. Was a great day to drive it over, calm seas. I see on my boat that I have x2 30A connectors, one receptacle and the other is a powered reel. I also have a 50A on a powered reel. I a...

Re: 1987 13 Meter Express Hardtop - Newly Acquired

@Rick - boat should be going in tomorrow! Driving her in the lake from the marina to the west end of Toronto on the weekend if all goes well. Decided to go with a yatch club instead. Having reciprocated access to all other clubs on the lake is a huge bonus. Plus cheaper in the long run. May consider...

Re: 1987 13 Meter Express Hardtop - Newly Acquired

Thanks for the concern. Not sure if I need to be but I will check into it. It was/is still winterized and out of the water, will be flushing it before it goes back in. I will definitely ask about the oil. Thx!

Re: 1987 13 Meter Express Hardtop - Newly Acquired

@Rick Correct. The pneumatic function. Not sure if/how it works, but looking forward to testing everything out. I figure there will be some issues with the boat, given the age and was willing to take the risk and fix things up accordingly.

Cheers.

1987 13 Meter Express Hardtop - Newly Acquired

Just thought I'd post some pics up. Don't mind the messy look, these were taken during the clean-up/winter storage prep.
Looking forward to having this on the water come spring!

Engines are Detroits 6-71ti's from what I can tell. They have the turbos.

More pics to come!

Re: 13 meter upgrades

Great info/post! I've just acquired a 1987 Trojan 13 Express Hardtop here in Canada (On Lake Ontario). The boat appears to be in good condition and only 900+ hours on the 6-71's. I'm anxious to get it in the water come ~mid April. I'll definitely look to your posts for some information and also shar...
