Re: Started Back Deck repair today

The pics with the beam through the window is from last year when we pulled the motors, they just fit through through the door with taking out the spark plugs I had planned to cut out the rot sections, which turn out to be most of it . I plan to glass the whole thing in. Will try to restore the origi...

Re: Loose Steering

I have a smaller 20 foot boat that has tabs and I use them all the time. When I first got this trojan someone not sure who it was had told me that the tabs where a after market item and that you dont need them on a boat this size, so I think that stuck in my head so I never really worried about them...

generator rebuild

Well since I have got my engines all dialed in and running great, I guess its time to move on to the generator. It seems to have a mind of its own, it does start when a load is applied, I can sometimes get it to start after flipping the on and off switch or the generator to shore power switch severa...

Emergency Preparedness

Hello Everyone,

I was going through the required emergency equipment list today that is required by law and I was just looking for some input on what other items people consider as must haves on the boats. Maybe there are even a few lists some people might have of what they carry .

Re: fuel tank replacement 1978 tri cabin

I had 2 newer ( less then 400 hrs ) installed over the winter 270 crusaders they run perfect at idle and out of the marina but as soon as we are running for a bit and bouncing around some the one motor starts to back fire then will start stalling. So they are figuring that there is crap in the botto...
