Trojan Boat Forum

We've made many friends over the years and put many miles under the "hollow" keel. But I rolled 81 in April and it's time. this forum has been very useful over the years. I will pass the URL on to the new owners.We still have a lake boat and Jet SKi to spend our time with. if my daughter a...

How do i test the sensor? Remove the wire and use an OHM to go from ground to sensor case?
Thanks

My 1977 F-32 (351's) with original gages pegs both upper/lower oil gages on the port engine. With key off they go back down, but when energized they peg. Are both gages tied together or do they have separate or leads from the sending unit? Last fall they were reading fine. being the port engine it's...

I don't think you will have a clearance problem if you require less than 12.6' See link below for more info.

There is a F-32 in Ragged Rock Marina in Old Saybrook CT that hasn't tasted water in a few years. It sits out by the road uncovered. Year ?? my guess is 76,77.
Good Luck

The 454's were offered in the 10, 10.8 and 11 meter Trojans. The 10 was the slowest of the trio. the 11 was the quickest. I think the length differences can explain the difference in speed. The Deltaconic hull is a great design. But I believe the characteristics of the work better with longer length...

Ok call off the dogs. The diverter valve handle was in the wrong place and once corrected everything is fine.

I will try to get more info this weekend.

A widow at our club hasn't had anything but liquid in the tank for years. She has it pumped regularly and no problem until recently. The diverter valve has not been moved in ages. The pumpout boat guy checked the tank, the valve, but he can't get any suction. A friend ran a chase from the deck fitti...

To avoid problems down the road, drill out old or new holes so that they are oversize. Then use tape to seal the backside and fill the holes with epoxy. Then redrill the holes
and mount the stanchions or whatever hardware you are mounting. This will seal and protect the core.

Check to see if the linkage is connected to the tranny and that linkage arm moves when the shift lever is moved. The over the road trip might have loosened it up.

Hi, thanks for your reply. The blockage is beyond the dockside connection and my "whole house filter". I get normal flow up to the point just before the tee to the water heater. When I reversed flushed the system using the shower faucet the water went thru the heater as well as all the oth...

For 31 years my F-32 water system has worked fine. You fill the tank, turn on the pump and water comes out each faucet. That's the way the season stated-then no water out of any faucet. Same result using dockside water. The flow thru the filter is fine with the output hose disconnected. Today, using...

Hi welcome to the club. What yard are you at in Chester, CT? My F-32 is at "Hay's". If you need any thing checked let me know.
I've had mine since 1983 and love it.
