Trojan Boat Forum

Michael-will these work for you? They're available from Beacon. https://www.trojanboats.net/zencart/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=162_163_173&products_id=199 No this is what I need: http://www.trojanboats.net/images/scan0002.jpg Linked from near the bottom of this page: https://www...

Calling anyone who needs H channel, lets state it here so that we can show Beacon there is demand for them to order more. When I think we have enough I will contact them to see where we go from here.

I am in need of H channel, a full set for my F-32 salon side windows. I would prefer black.

since the real elephant in the room is the dreaded H CHANNEL, why can't we pool our resources and have either beacon marine or someone else make a mold and get these things remade? They have been able to get some recently, so profile molds exist. I'm going to start a new thread with subject H chann...

"That must play havoc with the longevity of 2 cycle outboards" Just wounder why you said that , Ethanol attracts water even from the air (marine fuel tanks are not sealed like cars and so the tank vent can give a continuous supply of moist air) it also does not mix well with oil and tends...

we have low sulpher at the dock and ULSD on the road . 10% ethanol on the road and at most all fuel docks . That must play havoc with the longevity of 2 cycle outboards. I can see why there are so many class action suits in play down there. A Yamaha dealer friend of mine had some major 4 cycle fail...

non ethanol fuel supply ??? we are down here in the land of the EPA its almost imposable to find non ethanol fuel . are you all dealing with low sulpher diesel and ulsf diesel up there . Our marine fuel supply is non ethanol and super grade 91 octane. Can't comment on marine diesel as I'm a gas hog...

To be strictly correct cannot use both side galvanized with diesel fuel, outside only works fine.

galv tanks , get rid of them Is it in fact as simple as that? Why do you have such strong feelings? Are you happier with aluminium? I think more to the question here is what has been the cause of the sludge buildup? Is it likely to repeat with any replacement. What is the fuel being used? I don't s...

yes it can, and much better. in my opinion. Not so fast, quoting some experts in galvanic action: "Generally, it is a bad idea to use stainless steel underwater, because it can pit. When it pits the "nobility" of the metal changes locally, and you end up with tiny galvanic couples th...

I used a product called PLASTEAK. One of thier items is a teak and holly looking product that comes in a roll. I used it to replace the carpet on my engine room hatch covers and the door to the lazarette. REALLY NICE LOOKING! RWS Did you use the Light Teak plain or glossy? I am leaning towards the ...

ready123, Does anyone do anything on that site anymore? I have looked at it several time over years and nothing seems to have been updated or changed. Not much new. though the message board seems current with questions (very low volume).... most answers suggest to come here or other generic boat/en...
