Trojan Boat Forum

Hello. I installed three knob replacement controls from cruiseair. They arent very expensive. They certainly might be worth not having to do it yourself. I think buying down frustration is one of the best investments you can make. That and creating something from scratch seems to have so many hidden...

Howdy boys. It's been a while. I have been neglecting the boat for a bit. I guess my question stems from that. I want to extend the usage of my boat, at least the cabin space, into the winter. I have two breakers that run the A/C sitting at 15A each (I think). I have four empty slots on that line fo...

I drilled a through hull for my Lectra-san in August. I used 3M FC 5200 and it cured up fast. I had it back in the water the next day. No leaks.

Looks like this:

you can get it pretty much anywhere.

Hello all, I finally got my new digital controls installed and I thought I would give a quick review. Installation was pretty straight forward. My Trojan (86 Tricabin) has two units. One in the fore sandwiched between the V berth clost and the forward wall of the main salon and another under the sta...

Howdy,

I have hinges on the inside of my door jam on my '83 Tri-Cabin. Any idea if these were stock? Does anyone have one laying around?

I have searched extensively for a sleeper sofa for my Trojan Tri-Cabin. I not only found a replacement but an improvement in the original size. The AU furniture company makes a better engineered sofa that gives you a crapload more space to sleep on than the old style ones. I went to a retail store h...

I returned to by boat last night and my neighbor was all upset that I left my A/C running while I was away. He was certain that I would sink my boat. I thought he was overreacting. I mean this thing has been in service for 25 years without a problem. I don't see it suddenly bursting a pipe and filli...

These are plastic, but should do the trick.

I'm looking to change out my old three knob A/C control unit for a computerized one. Has anyone done this conversion? http://www.cruisair.com/sheets/L-0613A.pdf It looks all snazzy like this: http://www.cruisair.com/smx.html Runs $700 a unit.. They make it sound like all of the functions are depende...

Well, we have a few refineries, one of the busiest ports in the country and, with the addition of a lovely promenade, tons of trash from the foot traffic. ...If we only had a cracken...that'd show 'em

I cant imagine what that would look like in the Patapsco or the Chesapeake. a slightly brighter brown shade, with hazy outlines of shopping bags, gatoraide bottles and other bits I would imagine. The oil on the surface might create a nice effect though

Hey Mates, I was planning on installing a more efficient heating system for when the water gets too cold for the heat pumps, or for when I suck up some bit of trash in the intakes during the colder months. I was thinking of adding two breakers on the Shore Power 2 line and installing some of these &...

My units are in the wall between the salon and the V berth on the Starboard side and under the stairs from the main hatch/door. More A/C units would have certainly fixed the issue, but you're right the Amperage would be too great for the 30A shorepower. Hmmm, which leads me to another question...I'l...

I think I have the standard Cruiseair units that came stock. 5000 and 9000 BTUs. They work very well. on the hottest of days, like two days ago, it will still be a little muggy in the salon, but by dusk I'll be freezing. My main problem is trying to find a happy medium. It seems I either have all or...

Thank you. I do have a breaker on the A/C box labeled "Battery Charger" but I am unable to locate it. Could you describe yours? If there is a hard wired breaker for it I would imagine that I would trace one of the many red wires that are clamped to the terminal.

Thanks again.

Eric
