Trojan Boat Forum

Hey Paul, To tell the truth...Things have been a little rough since last September as far as the work situation goes. Spent last spring and summer running a charter-boat out of Destin Fl. for the Army which was pretty cool up until the end of the fishing season at which time we got a lay off. Went b...

Hey All,

I have a friend who has twin 454`s and dual helm stations. His oil pressure gauges seem to be working backwards. At idle the needle shows about 60 lbs. of oil pressure. When you rev the engins the needle drops rather than rising? Any ideas on this?

Thanks, Rick F-36 (MissKitty)

Thanks Big D. I will try that as it is getting a little warm down here. Do you think it will hurt anything if I remove the (2) hoses at the raw water discharge side of the pump and use a garden hose to try to back-wash from the thru-hulls and push everything back down the hoses toward the pump. The ...

Got the boat moved from Pensacola to Destin with the help of Paul and some others so I`d like to say thanks to all. Started new job and living on the boat seemed like things were turning around but figured out quickly that taking a trip from time to time and living on the the boat full time are two ...

You may want to call the front desk and get the answer to that question but I dont think so at this time as the dock is being upgraded. Some boaters have been dropping the hook a few yards off the beach and using thier dingy to get back and forth. They also have the best fuel prices on Non-E fuel in...

Hey Folks, All you retired or active duty military members who are thinking about a trip to the Gulf Coast should check out The Destin Army Recreation Center in Destin Florida. One of the best keeped secrets in the world. I took a job as Captain of the Charter Boat (Stars and Stripes) which is run b...

Anybody in Pensacola / Gulf Shores or Florida Panhandle area interested in trying to put together a start-up sportfishing / sightseeing / dolphin tour etc. business? Upgrading my USCG License from 50 to 100-Ton and got an F-36 sitting in the water. King Paul along with Beacon helped us find some afo...

Try this web site. cruisingservices.net Call the phone # listed...You may need to leave a message but this guy can fix you up or tell you what you need to do. At on time I think he had Inland Waterway`s on a disk for something like $19.95. I bought the program and USB GPS and use them both without f...

Welcome to the forum...Nice looking Trojan! I noticed you are a licensed Capt. and was wondering if you know of anybody needing a Capt? I presently hold a 50-ton master with Tow Assist and MROP. After 1 more hitch in the Oil Patch I will be getting my 100 ton master. Any sugestions? Thanks, Rick - F...

Thanks Guy`s,

I will pass this on to Capt. Clay as well as keep looking. Haven't talked to him for a couple of day`s so I guess I need to try to call. Last report had them somewhere just south of Palm Beach heading for St. Lucie Inlet and the Okeechobee Waterway.

Hey All, Got a call from a friend who is trying to get his 41ft. SeaRay from East Coast of Fl. to the Panhandle. Due to mechanical problems the trip is going slow and very costly and will probably need to be broken-up into sections because of his job, money and time constraints. Does anyone have or ...

Has anyone done this with the boat in the water...If so...Should I try it ? Also...Seems to be a lot of steam at exhaust outlets at transom. Temp is about 175 on both gauges at 2800 rpm. No steam at idle or low rpm. Looks to be enough water flow out the exhaust. Water surface temp. was about 75 degr...
