Trojan Boat Forum

Hey gang I was thinking about replacing my 40-year-old depth sounder, the display has become hard to read. I see that they have forward looking sonar transducers and I was wondering if anyone had any experience with these. If not can you give me a recommendation on a good depth sounder for our 1979 ...

Thanks, the reason I asked is that I was told you can't charge two batteries off one alternator, because if only one battery is discharged and one full the alternator/voltage regulator is charging both and you need a split charging system. I thought there might be a similarity when the system was dr...

I'm probably missing it but what keeps the engine battery bank from being overcharged while the alternator is sending power to the rest of the system. Do you have to do anything special with the drive belts and pulleys with the extra load.

Thanks, I will pull it off in the spring. We have a good hydraulics place. I wasn't sure if it had some kind of crimped ends.

The steering piston on my 1979 tri cabin is leaking at the piston rod. Does anyone know if this unit can be rebuilt or is there a replacement available.

Thanks Rich

Looks like a solid line from the battery to the inverter.

Maybe some breakers on the battery positives?

Thanks, I wasn't sure if the Shepherd plant closed in 1979

Hey Gang

Need some help, we were invited to an antique boat show and I would like to give some data about the boat. Is there a way of telling where the boat was manufactured? Few pics attached.

Thanks
