Re: Seacock Replacement
Hi Barrie,
I have strainers on both raw water inlets for the engine cooling. The other one is for the genset.

Hi Tri-Guy, Mine is mounted on a mast. you can see it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2lxFQC8Ew4 Look @ time 1:00 - 1:05. You will se the mast and the baseplate. Mine is on a tri-cabin flybridge though. it uses a sleeve design so that it can be put down for the winter. Hope this helps a bit. ...

Re: Seacock Replacement
So! Although winter is still in full swing here in Ottawa I took time to work on boat parts. When I last left off the seacock replacement, I had not reinstalled the strainers nor the scuppers. I wanted to clean them up good before putting them back in. So a month or so ago, I got me a cheap sandblas...

Re: Invitation To All
Hi Barrie, Although I don’t comment too often, I do follow your progress closely. What an amazing job you are doing. What an amazing bunch of people on the forum! I can’t wait to get to my boat and continue work on her. I laughed when I saw your post on the soft deck on your boat. I remember walking...

Invitation To All
Hi Guys, I would like to invite you to visit my new website http://www.realityboating.com! Recently, I noticed a lack of information for the new Canadian boaters out there and thought that sharing my journey would benefit some people. Fear not though, I will continue to post my progress on Trojanboa...

Re: Upper Rudder Support Replacement
Hi Guys, I thought I would report on the last step of the rudder support replacement. I am happy to say that the job is complete for the most part. I was able to cut the white oak to size, cut a hole for the bearing, bolt it in place and paint them with bilge paint. Again installing was difficult du...

Re: Upper Rudder Support Replacement
OK! I am back at the boat. Sunday, I realized that some aluminum plates did not fit. I had not counted on some unforeseen obstructions. I re-measured and modified the plates. Ordered bolts, flat washers (oversized fender type at 1-1/2 inch in diameter), lock washers and nuts to affix the plates to t...

Re: Upper Rudder Support Replacement
Oh! Before anyone asks. I calculated the 3/4" thick aluminum plate strength versus white oak and found that the plates are about 5% stronger than the 2" white oak stringers... Therefore even if the stringers are completely gone, I am still better off than the original design...

Re: Upper Rudder Support Replacement
I then started work on the second side. IMGP2056second side.jpg I then hit a problem that I will have to deal with tomorrow. The second plate interferes with the fuel line on the port engine... :shock: It is taking shape... I have the week off to work on this. Hopefully I will get her done. Talk to ...

Re: Upper Rudder Support Replacement
Once all was bolted and torqued properly, I clamped the assembly in place ready to drill the stringers and plates. IMGP2047ready to punch.jpg I then drilled the stringers with the plates in place, removed everything and drilled the aluminum plates separately and replaced everything back in their fin...

Re: Upper Rudder Support Replacement
Hi Paul! Nice setup! Since I don't want to remove the stringers and engines at this time, I will have to do a less elegant fix for now. Barrie, your ideas is what I had in mind... As promised here is the progress for today. Last week, I got some aluminum plates at Metal Supermarket in Ottawa. about ...

Re: Upper Rudder Support Replacement
Hi Guys! I has been a while since I last posted. Work and life got in the way. I did go to the boat a few times and basically relaxed and took some measurements for the repair. I will be going there this weekend and start on the process. I have a few pictures coming. I basically decided to line the ...
