Trojan Boat Forum

Love the diesels. They make the boat ride better and have the torque to move the boat at 5 knots in idle. Love it.

Sounds like you have a game plan but I think the flags other people have posted need to be looked into. I also would want you to make sure the boat you buy is not underpowered. I have seen that to many times on boats.

Yep, always like the photo's. Looks like everyone had a hard day fishing in the conditions that were there. I am looking forward to fishing for Striper on my sons boat. I have been out on my Mckee and have not caught a think. I know why and will correct it this next time out. I had my bait on the to...

Well we replaced our horn and the new horn is loud and has a lower tone than the old one. I definately think it will do the job.

Yes I have done that too. Only problem the only one who hears me is me. I am in a enclosed area. LOL

I had forgotten about alignment. Definately could be it. I remember when we had a carver and I had to align the coupling. It wa a job but it did pay off.

I am glad to see a way to do that. I did wonder how they did it. Now I know and I like this method. Thanks.

We have had problems with keeping a horn working. It seems after a year the horn quits. I took apart the last horn and wanted to see what was happening. It was getting hot and melting the plastic insulator. I thought that the design was bad and I definately will not buy that brand again. I am gettin...

This is interesting. I will have to check ours. I remember the last time I replaced a motor there were several wires but I am not sure how many circuits are involved. I shall find out.

Let's face it to a sales person who is pitching to buyers Salon has a more elegant sound and meaning than saloon or cabin. When you sell things that are pricy you want to use expensive terms to describe them. Just go to a pricy restaurant and see the way the desribe the food you get. They definately...

I left the picture out so you could see the set up. Just copy it from photobucket or some other site and paste it here. The picture will show up.

Now that, that is settled, LOL I think I would hate to ask the difference between a yacht and a boat. I can remember thinking that any boat over 50 foot was a yacht. I don't know if that stands true today.

We have found that most vibrations are caused by a prob being bent or damaged, nicked, etc. Ofcourse a bent shaft would vibrate too. We corrected our vibrations when we bought the boat by having the props redone.

I was checking the amperage on some windshield wiper motors. I see many of them have a maximum of 5 amp draw. Now I have not checked, but will, the size of wiring run to our wiper motors. A number twelve wire is put on a 20 amp circuit but good wiring practice tells you not to let over 12 amps on th...

Yes they do shoot at a 45 degree angle. When we put a nozzle on that had just a whole in it, it shot over the boat LOL. We then put on a nozzle with a wide angle of spray. It still shot high but does get the windshield very wet. Now when you are moving the wind will force the water toward the windsh...
