Trojan Boat Forum

Hello again gentlemen, I'm still in the background. I didn't do much boating last Summer due to discovering Colon Cancer and then having sugery. Lots of testing and Doc. appointments ate up most of my season but I was always checking in to see what you guys were up to. I'm leaning towards selling th...

Like Prowlersfish said, check the stringers, rear cockpit areas and bow areas around the anchor for soft spots they can be expensive and time consuming projects. If you can do it I say go for it. You can't believe the room in the rear cockpit area. I've had six people sitting comfortably, also a goo...

Just wondering if anyone has had a hard time finding molded water hoses for a Chrysler 318? I tried finding the Raw water hose that goes from my raw water pump to the heat exchanger and I was told it was discontinued ??

Hey Guys, I'm thinking of replacing the ignition control module on the starboard motor,( Mopar 318's) nothing wrong with the existing one. Had to replace one on port motor last year and was thinking of preventive maintenance by replacing it and keeping the existing one as a spare. My question is, if...

Those are good levels. I think I'm splitting hairs now anything over a 1000ppm I think we're ok.

Did my research a couple of years ago, I basically did a Google search and thats what I found. But it is inconclusive, some sites state that the "newer" Rotella has less zinc (900ppm) than the old (1200ppm) and some say the opposite?? At the time I did my research I compared Delvac, Rotell...

Just got my GFO Packing in, I'll attempt it this Spring,or if it ever gets above freezing around here , Damn Polar Vortex !!! Thanks to all who replied.


<*))))>{

Did a lot of research , Mobil Delvac 15-40 has the most zinc and is only $12 a gallon at Wally World ! I was going to use Rotella but after some research the newer stuff contains less zinc than the old stuff.

5k and my Clean Machine !! You did say that you missed your Clean Machine !!

"I guess I have to get a bigger boat" !

+1, I'm ready for a 36 !!

All great suggestions !! thank you. I plan on going to Harbor Freight for a set of picks that they sell. I'm going to do it on the hard in the Spring then have them splash it. I read only to hand tighten initially, I was wondering how much water I'll get once it's splashed. Is it a dribble or should...
