Trojan Boat Forum

Welcome. I can't help you with the fuses except to tell you to contact Beacon Marine. They handle a lot of Trojan parts. We love to see pictures of your boat if you have some...

I thought I shawed you my hatch drawing? Hmmm maybe I didn't. Here it is

One step ahead of me now... post some pictures Cappy!!!

New hatch framed and ready to reinforce with fiberglass and then finish with gelcoat/non skid. I have to give it a trial fit before I glass it but that may not happen till next weekend, Starting to get nervous as spring is approaching fast. Final measurement is 38" x 48-1/2". I'm going to ...

LOL gotta love the P/O. I have all new cables ready to swap out when I redo the battery lay out...

The second picture is the charger I picked up. It's not new but new to me and can handle three battery banks and different battery types according to the manual. And the first picture is the undersized charger currently on the boat.

That's my plan also for the deck... lol. It's nice having someone doing the same thing and sharing our ideas as we go. This forum has been a great help. And I'm sure our work will help the next guy...

It actually can work either way. My research has the largest battery out there at about a 7" x 14" footprint and the box is 14.5" x 30" inside. So I'll see how the wiring flows in and out to determine the best layout. I currently only have three batteries, two being start batteri...

Looking good Cappy keep up the good work... What thickness ply did you use? are you fiber glassing over the top then? Gelcoat?

Worked on the new battery box today. Its 14 x 32 inside so it can hold (4) Four batteries. The cutouts are for the cables to come and go from and the top lifts off for easy access. Also with the top on its a nice place to step or sit while working around the engines. Coat of gray paint and I'll be r...

Did some more tidying up of the plumbing, ran new flexible water line and rewired the fresh water pump. The Aft Bilge pump is mounted and rewired correctly. P/O had the switch wired wrong. There was no auto mode set up. Now its right, just flip the switch to auto and if the water gets high the pumps...

Best thing I could do is show you my detail drawing. By routing the half circle trough the water should drain to the stern scupper holes.

Time to lay the decking. Everything is framed. The wiring, plumbing and exhaust all straightened out and secured so it can't rub on anything.

I can still access the exhaust hose and I inspected the few small pieces connecting the exhaust pipe to the muffler and Thru hull fittings. It all is still in good shape as far as I can tell.

If you have the old one you should be able to copy it quite easily. Warming the plexi so it will bend isn't that hard, Use a good heat gun and warm it slowly and it will bend nicely.
