Re: Looking For Trojan 1992-2003 Express For Sale
Hi there, I just bought a '97 390 Express last May (actually my first boat ever!) so I'm still learning and can't quite quote facts from memory, but I do have all the manuals. Perhaps this could be of some help. I seem to recall seeing the overall dimensions. I'll probably be visiting her this weeke...

Re: My First Boat - 1997 Trojan 390 Express - Caught between 2 worlds
Hi Saltlife - you may need to private message me with some sort of email address, because the Forum software seems to have a problem with my replies to private messages and leaves them languishing in something called the OutBox. I still have replies sitting in there from last summer. Thks Rick Hi R...

Re: My First Boat - 1997 Trojan 390 Express - Caught between 2 worlds
Hi Rick, Thanks for writing back and checking into everything for me. Yes, I was referring to the heater that is located under the captain's seat (accessed via the dry storage under the companion seat). Just happened across that one day when I was checking it all out. Good to know it's simply for th...

Glad you found the issue . Nothing wrong with staying with Promariner . Of course there are other good choices out there like Mastervolt and others . What area are you boating in ? Hi Prowlersfish - Yes, I'm glad to have solved the issue too. I ended up ordering a Minn Kota and hope to get it insta...

Re: My First Boat - 1997 Trojan 390 Express - Caught between 2 worlds
Hi Rick, Well, just as you were likely writing this I did call the mechanic over... It's the charger. Totally no good. We tested it every which way from sideways... Nothing. Sooo, now on to find a new one and the challenge of wiring it correctly. Mechanic did suggest a 2 or 3 bank (generator optiona...

Re: My First Boat - 1997 Trojan 390 Express - Caught between 2 worlds
Hey there Rickalan35, thanks again for the great info! Got to the boat last night and #1 battery was dead as a doornail. Taking previous advice, I made sure the charger was set properly. But, an external meter showed all kinds of wonky like at first off the charts volts then next reading, nothing. A...

Well, that seems simple enough! Setting the charger right... Duh.

MaidenVoyage_2019-06-01.jpg Hi everyone, thanks so much for such a nice welcome! First, I totally goofed and didn't attach pics as intended (I think I got it this time so see below). @Rickalan35 - You asked about the engines. I'm fortunate to have MerCruiser 8.2L 502s - yikes! They purr like kitten...

My First Boat - 1997 Trojan 390 Express - Caught between 2 worlds
Hello all and thanks for such a great source of information! I wanted first to say hello and then ask a few questions of the community. I bought my first boat and have officially fulfilled a dream. I've wanted a vessel since I was 18 and finally have one! I guess turning 50 kicks something into gear...
