Trojan Boat Forum

Hi Guys!

Now that we can post pictures again, here are some pics of the boat going in the water. Initial damage!

I have the same issue. One thing I did notice though is that if the neutral switch is active, the engines will not turn over. My engines do turn over but depending on where I try to start the engines, they keep running or die. Currently, what I do is: turn the power ON in the lower helm then go to t...

Hi Larryeddington, I was looking into replacing my fuel valves as well. I have found that Anderson Brass Company has a good selection of marine fuel valves. their M670 series shutoff valves are UL Approved for Marine usage. These are the ones I am going to use. I should be ordering them in a few wee...

I am happy to report that she does not Leak

Thanks for all the help and support!

Christian

Guys!

Thank you so much for all the support. Again, all of you show why this forum is the best...

Kind regards.

Christian

Thanks for all the advice guys.

I will go with Rotella T for the engines and straight W30 for the V-Drives. As far as the Tranny fluid is concerned, What type of ATF oil are you guys using? Type 3, Type 4, Type 5...?

Thanks again for the support on this most mundane question...

Christian

That is what i saw. Im wondering if what you are using is the Rotella T triple protection or the synthetic stuff (t5 or t6)

Christian.

Thanks for the info guys.

@Prowlersfish and others,

The Shell Rotella you use, is it the "T" or "T5"? The T5 is synthetic.

Cheers,

Hi Barrie,

Wow! Fantastic progress. If I had known that with a "little" elbow grease she would look this good, I would have bought her ...

That fuel tank sure looks clean. How did you manage that?

Hi rickland35,

I'm currently at the Rideau Ferry Marina. At this time the boat is known as Confusion. I plan to rename her Ad Hoc to keep the spirit of Confusion alive, also like the fish Haddock and the Captain in Tin-Tin...

I thought it was funny

Hi guys, I'm so close to putting the boat in the water for my first season. I just can't wait! I'm at the stage where I have to change fluids in the drivelines. 8) What oils are you guys using for the Engines, V-Drives and Transmissions? From what I can see, I can put 10W30 in the engines and V-Driv...

Me as well!

Aaron! Please let us know how you are doing! Our prayers are with you always.

Thanks!

Hi Prowlerfish,

Does the list of sizes you kindly posted apply for the rudder stuffing as well?
