Trojan Boat Forum

Hi everybody. I could use some of your knowledge & expertise, please. The subject is a 1972 Trojan F36, love these boats, & that's likely why i have the boat i do. I am in the middle of a stringer repair, of which some parts to me are a bit mysterious. The stringer i'm working on, is the ins...

Good morning, sure, give it a try. Includes the Aqua Muff muffler, forgot that. Wonder what it would cost to have shipped, most likely by truck. It's so complete, just hate to scrap it. I guess you are somewhere near Norfolk, or Hampton? incidentally, are you the guy I chatted with about having been...

hi there, I'm in Olcott Beach, New York, on Lake Ontario, North of Buffalo. It's 12 miles east of the Niagara River. If you'd like to call, number is 239 980 1747. Give a jingle. thanks, Dave

Hi folks, I have removed my 1972 Onan genset because of some rotted stringer repair i have going on. The gen is complete as far as I know, turns freely by hand, & has clean oil in it. For the boating we do, we dont need 6500 watts of power, so if anyone is interested in the unit, please write me...

Hi guys, thanks for the mail. The picture of your boat in the travel lift is perfect! Pretty much what I'd have guessed, but always nice to get it straight. I appreciate it. Have a good nite, Dave

Good morning Captain, thanks for your answer. I'm leaning toward keeping it simple, & leaving mine setup as I mentioned. Years back I had a 1967 36' Trojan, with the emergency start system setup, but don't honestly remember ever using it. As for the alternator/charging issue, I will use a meter ...

Hi there all you Trojan guys, & gals. It's been a while, but since chatting I have finished the valve jobs on both 440's, they're running well. Today's issue is that I don't understand how the solenoid & cables should be connected to have the starboard battery used as the start battery, &...

Good morning everyone, I sent a couple of messages lately, but not sure where they went! Anyway, the inspection of the double pocket water pump netted a near miracle!! When i had rebuilt both pumps before launch this spring, I inadverntly installed 2 of the small impellers, rather than the larger on...

Hi everybody, Please don't yell at me, you may want to laugh, or guffaw though. Long story short, with nothing else to try to solve this overheating problem, I pulled the pump off again. Remember, I rebuilt both pumps before launch in June, so thought they were fine. well, when I opened it up, I was...

Prowlerfish, Waywe go, & others who have been helping me with this heating problem. First for being there a big thank you, as you probably know, it gets a little lonely o there when you have problems that just drive you crazy, & its great to communicate with guys of like interest anyway. And...

Good morning Prowlerfish, this trip south was 2004, but as I recall we went in off the Bay & hung an immediate left to take us south past what I think may have been condos, seems like at the end of that stretch was the marina. I recall having dinner at the little restaurant there, on the 2nd sto...

Hey guys, I just noticed where y'all are from, my son was living in Williamsburg up until recently, now up at Gloucester Courthouse. I took another boat south in 2004, stayed at a neat marina in Hampton. Just a little background info. Have a good day.

Prowlerfish & waytogo, thanks for hanging in with me. This morning, I went back to the scene of the crime. I decided last night to use 2 garden hoses from the dockside water & connect each one to the discharge hoses from the pump, therefore, obviously, eliminating the pump. Now of course the...
