Re: 30 amp breaker
If you don't have the full documentation, you can get it for your boat from Beacon Marine. You provide them with the serial number of your boat and you get a copy of what Trojan gave the original owner. The info is here -- http://www.trojanboats.net/wforum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=2695 We were lucky ...

Re: Portable generator questions
While I feel they have no place on a boat if you must follow WAYWEGO.s advice and Flybrige in not the place for it at all I thought my advice was that it is not a good idea to use a portable generator on a boat -- I must not have been clear enough! :roll: That said, there are many boaters who do so...

Re: Portable generator questions
There are lots of opinions on portable generators on boats, most of which are against using them. If you do use one, you should have it outside the hull on a swim platform, and you should definitely have CO detectors everywhere there are people. CO will accumulate in the lower parts of the boat, so ...

Long Range WiFi and Boat Network
Our marina has WiFi and used to have an access point on the dock near our boat. It has not been working for the whole year, so I decided we needed to do something. If it was just my wife and I, it would not matter, but if I want my kids to have fun on the boat, they need to have internet access. You...

Re: Two questions-Pictures of Helm, Electronic engine monitoring
Big D, I agree with all you said, but thought we should go a bit further and point out that you can set alarms with digital gauges, so you don't have to display the data to know if a problem occurs. In some ways, this is better than the analog gauges on our boat, which are not anywhere near the line...

Re: Two questions-Pictures of Helm, Electronic engine monitoring
I am thinking about going to digital gauges on my MFD's but not yet convinced to do it. I have been looking at some of the options, and they are either expensive or require expensive CAN bus tools to setup. My gauges are old and not consistent, and I am thinking it would be nice to recapture the hel...

Re: Planning My Haul Out and Motor Pull (Update: Motors are out with Pics)
I think there should also be a block in the center of the boat near the stern. The main support for the boat should be along the keel, probably three places for a boat of your size. The outside edges should be supported with something other than hollow blocks, which have cracked in some cases, leavi...

Re: Diesels The perfect engines or not ?
avoiding the high tech common rail diesels provides one with a simple, reliable, economical and safe boat. For a boat that you maintain yourself, I agree with this. I have a Ford F350 with a Navistar (International Harvester) 7.3L diesel. It is certainly more expensive to maintain than a similar po...

Re: Winter boat cover
For a smaller boat, I like Fisher Canvas. We had one for our 25' boat and it was going strong 10 years later when the boat was sold. For a bigger boat, either shrink wrap or build a frame and cover with a tarp. Here is a thread on what we ended up doing for our boat: http://www.trojanboats.net/wforu...

Re: Engine Winterization
Another option for easier winterizing is to add a strainer to the hose from the through hull to the raw water pump. You can take the top off the strainer and pour antifreeze into it. Some folks make a big funnel by using a traffic cone so they can pour more antifreeze at a time.

Re: F32/F36 Upper Station Console
Our 1975 F36 has upper and lower helms with chain/cable steering. I need to check the chain adjustment, but so far, it seems to work well.

Re: Engine Winterization
Not sure about a 318, but our 440s can suck the water out of a bucket just about as fast as you can pour it in from gallon jugs.I am curious about how much water a 318 uses when running your engine when boat is out of water and you use a 5 gallon pail to feed it water or anti freeze.
