Hello everyone. It has been a few years since I posted on the site. I am knee deep in a total restoration on my 10 meter. I found out the stringers were completly rotted out from the limber holes never being sealed at the factory. I began the project about three years ago. the stringers were cut out...

Dean,
You can check the switch by simply by by passing it. Just remove the two wire going to the switch and connect then together using a small bolt. If it starts its the switch, if not check the started. PS don't leave the wires connects, its a huge safety issue.

Good luck

I have a 40 gal tank under my forward berth that I will be pulling out in the near future. I'll take some pics and get some measurements for you. I'm heading out today for vacation but will see if I can get you some info when I get back.

Davescars, Thank you very much for the info. Fixing that is on my todo list during my refit. I did the flushball about 3 yrs ago. If I recall correctly you remove the plastic boot around the base of the head, it just snaps off. theres a metal clamp that holds the bowl onto the base. You remove the c...

RWS, I have the vacuflush also. Have you ever removed or replaced the pressure switch on the acculator tank? If so was it difficult? Since day one when you fliped the toggle switch for the head the vacuum pump will just run nonstop. I've replaced all the duckbill valves and the gasket and flushball ...

Keep me posted Wes!

Replace the impellers! On my boat its easier to take off the pump assemply to work on it. I think its 2 bolts and a fan belt. If you are missing any of the vanes off the impellers (the rubber fins) you need to find them as they can create blockages in the heat exchanger. Its really easy to do. The h...

RWS, I just figured after 21yrs It was about time to rebed everything. I figured if I was removing everything to rebed it I might as well repaint her. I thought about wet sanding the hull and trying to work with the origional gel coat as its not in bad shape but I'll never have her apart like this a...

Thanks guys, I tried the heat gun and putty knife with no luck. I couldn't tell if the stripes were a decal or paint. I didn't want to try to sand a decal and make a mess. If their painted it sounds like the sander would do the trick. Bret, What type of paint did you use? I was leaning towards Awlcr...

Has anyone removed the stripes from a Trojan international? If so what's the best technique? I'm going to be preping my boat for a new Awlgrip paintjob so I plan on sanding everything. I was under the impression the stripes were decals that had a clearcoat over them but when I tried to remove a piec...

You will not be able to get to it through the aftcabin. That is the rear of the tank. the supply is on the side towards the bow. If you just have carpet on the floor you can cut a small access hole and reach the supply fitting and hose. You should have a drain hole at the keel on the structual bulkh...

Sorry Wes,
Thats what happens when I'm on the computer late after a hard days work.

Sounds Great!
Thanks RWS

Wes, Heres some pics of my cut up tank. You can see the hole from the water pick up in the 1st pic http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg144/Yorklyn/Double-Pote-N-Sea/stringer%20rot/PICT0351.jpg http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg144/Yorklyn/Double-Pote-N-Sea/stringer%20rot/PICT0350.jpg http://i247...
