Re: thermostat temp question

Further explanation and OPINION, 180 IS BETTER THAN 160, but not by a great deal, 180 will burn less fuel, and even 190 even less, but 160 is low, 180 is best, but you need not worry, it will not harm your engine, so boat, enjoy yourself, and have a great Wed, In my opinion.

Re: F32- Hawse Pipe cover wanted

Hi, Larry, it is 4" X 2-1/8" Outside Diameter. I have a photo, but so far cannot seem to find a way to attach it here. If you want to contact me at jerryd14@verizon.net I will send a photo as I do not know if the F28 is the same, likely it is.

Thank you

Re: thermostat temp question

I should also add, you must check your raw water strainers every month or so, if you have the clear glass/lexan ones, no big deal to view, and by all means, every time you use boat look at your exhaust discharge water flow to insure you are having a good continuous water flow. Then every 5-6 years o...

Hi, I have dropped my chrome Hawse pipe cover (covers anchor line hole) overboard and wanted to ask if anyone knew where a Trojan might be being scrapped where I could buy this.

Re: thermostat temp question

I must agree with the 180 Deg. as this is what the manufacturers suggest for best engine performance.

1977 FSB-32 Steering chain adjustments

I seem to have quite a bit of play and tolerance in my steering wheel, the chain from the fly bridge is quite sloppy. Is there any problem with adjusting the turnbuckle to remove just the excess chain slop, and still not adjust it so as to place any strain on the bearings. Any thoughts from other Tr...
