Trojan Boat Forum

With proper maintenance i don't see why an engine cant get 5k+ hours on it, gona have to change parts but the block itself should go out as long as you take care of it.

Hey there i cannot comment on how strong those engines are since my tri has something a bit bigger and newer, are those the original blocks? im powered with twin marine power 454's, re powered new in 2009, these are the 7.4L motors we estimated that at cruise speed around 2500 RPM at about 15-16 kno...

oo well thats a bit of a different story then, i thought it was just the glass that was missing

If you get the measurements you can always have a glass shop fabricate some for you at a decent price, my old silverton had a replacement set done and 8 windows cost me a total of 200 for them to cut me out a new set.

I like that lighting that uve added to the platrform? is that directly mounted to the wood or the hull? how did you run the wiring?

Welcome to the forum, nice to see another tri live aboard

i think my boat isnt wired in completely properly or the PO tinkered with it, since one side is designed for hotel services (ac, bat charger, stove, oven water heater w/e) and the other side for everything else its weird because the breakers keep tripping on the "everything else" side, i t...

i wonder how much a new remote condensing unit with heat would cost... gota look it up, as i said i cant even find a reference for the WFA16 setup i have.

i know that, but honestly the biggest issue is that A, i cant service the old unit nor find any parts for it, B. the dam thing is sooooo loud and is on its last breath. as far as the heating goes, it would be nice to have that additional "umpth" however its not that big of a deal since i h...

i do have twi 30 amps however since i live aboard my boat i have other things running besides the AC's, the 12k SXR system is self contained and i have an opertunity to score one fora bout 500 thats why i was asking however the system that i have onboard now is a 16k and its not, it has a remote chi...

Close Call bud, glad everything turned out ok

also the fact that ill have to cut more holes for vents in the boat since the original system is a remote water chiller unit that i have absolutely no use for unless i can somehow make it a reverse cycle.

that would be to much power draw, over 30 amps for 2 units

my F36 tri has the original AC from 1974 which is still running and i know i posted this before a while back but now i have an opportunity to score a Cruisair SXR 12 as a replacement for the WFA16k cold only unit, was wondering if anyone had any experience with these units and to see if it might kee...

well thankfully it passed VA Beach and Norfolk, no damage to my boat however my neighbors didnt do so well, his bilge pump went out

but the looks of it wasnt any worse then irene or the nor easter 3 years ago...
