36ft Trogan tricabin

Post by Lee oakley »

Hello can anyone tell me what the two red warning lights marked stern on my gauge panel are for? Obviously a warning light but warning what? Is it too the stern drive and if so is it a temperature warning? Thanks

Did ever post a photo ? No one I have talked to remembers seeing this including a former Trojan engineer . A photo may show if it was added .

It is not a stern drive warning as you do not have a stern drive .

When you do get to the boat take some photos . I suspect the lights may have been added . Did you check your owners manual ? Do he come on ? Any switches by them ?

I figured V-drives in 77 later years were straight inboards . Never cam with outdrives .

No that's a completely different setup than mine and a much better one I will say what model is that? Mine is a 77 model and the gauges are set off to the starboard side as a matter of fact you have to stand up and move to the right in order to see them well!

I don't see any markings . But we are getting closer . Your boat is a Trojan Tri-Fly not a regular tri--cabin
