Trojan Boat Forum

10 months ago I couldn't change my own oil in my car. Thanks to reading books, asking questions, learning from my mistakes and all the great help for you guys and the archive the "new" engine is back in the boat, all wood restored new paint on bottom and just some water and electric to go ...

Anyone have a picture or diagram of the crhrsler marine 318 raw water cooling only I have not been able to figure it out and the manuel is not very helpful- I got hoses and holes but no direction

Thanks in advance

Perfect double R thank you - do you recall where you got them?
"Todd" ?

At this point I may use an upside down trash can

They didnt teach us that in law school did they? Is that just plywood you think, i guess it has four sides and the bottom bolts down?

I removed the side mounted seats on the F25 because they will ripping the side off the boat. I want to replace them with pedastal seating but i can't find any high enough, the seat stand from the old seat is 34 inches high then the seat bottom so I need something 36in tall. Any suggestions?

Ok thank you !

Great job! I have to admit that when I did my bilge this same way it was the single biggest transformation of the restore. Gave me hope that I could get it done-

Can anyone tell me what size belts I need for water pump and alternator?

Thanks much

Why the hell would you set up an Ignore List on this forum. We don't get that many posts so I enjoy reading anything that comes in. Keeps me busy at work. hahaha Keep on posting everyone. I need stuff to do in the winter. I hardly look at the forum once the boat is launched unless I'm looking for p...

my boat was soda blasted down to the gel - so i need barrier coat? Any recommendations for that type of paint? I will buy 1 gallon of black bottom paint and get two coats out of it, but a silly question...how do you guys stir or shake the bottom paint? I have done this 3 times on smaller boats and i...
