Trojan Boat Forum

I had a friend (engineer) check everyting, but the neutral to ground in the main panel (85' run from the house) is an excellent idea. Thanks for the thought

I have an opened shore ground indication on the panel polarity analysis while shore power is plugged into No.1 plug. Plug in No.2 Shore power chord that is dedicated to the Air Conditioner and blow the 30 amp GFI that is located in the sub-panel just before the ramp to the dock. Sub-panel is grounde...

Do any of you guys boat in lakes that are inhabitated by zebra mussels? What precations are you taking if any to minimize growth on the boat. We have in the last 3 years just begun to see these things multiply by the thousands. It is my understanding that these were brought in from the nothern lakes...

Pardon the vagness of this post but I wanted to run something by you guys without giving away too much information to see what you think. I recently spoke to an individual that brokered the deal between myself and the seller of my 1985 F-32 back in 2003. It seems that the vessel was involved in a si...

Thats what I usually do but I have been draining the blocks first and it seems to take nearly 5 gals/ engine. You guys saved me so much on the water system I was about to throw a huge party with more savings. Thanks for the help!!!

Took your alls advice on the water sytem winterization bypassing the Hot Water Heater. Must of had the system mostly empty cuz very little ran out of the heater. I would like to just drain the blocks etc. on the engines but Im afraid of not having anything in the mufflers to keep from freezing. Your...

Thanks for the input. Thats the info I was hoping for. Boatyard in the past has been very helpful and basically say the same thing. Thanks for all your help. Wish there were more Trojan Owners here at the Lake of the Ozarks that were a part of this forum, this place is priceless!!!!!!!

Hey guys need some advice. I have a rather sizable leak with the fluid from the trim tabs. Had the bottom redone last year and noticed some fluid late last year. I tried to tighten clamps on the hose of the actuators, but do to the angle wasnt able to get enough on it. From what fluid has been pushe...

Just ordered 6 ft. from Bob at Beacon Marine. $2.63/ft get while you can!!!!

OK, you all talked me into it. Water temp is up to 43 and the daily air temps have been 60 or better. Worst case is a heat source in engine compartment if it gets cold enough long enough!!!!!!! Time to start a list of cleaning supplies Beer Water hose Beer Water Pump Beer Cleaning Brush Beer Teak Cl...

Not sure of exhaust system yet or of any real particulars. I have been very reluctant in the past about even putting one on the boat due to CO2 leaks, yes I have the detectors but too manny people on this lake have died from this type of event and it doesent set well with me. I still think if it tur...

Just got a call from a local mech. that has run upon a 2yr old marine gen with 11hrs on meter, kholer, with guages wiring and swithces. Havent seen it yet but he thought $3000.00 would buy it. I have an 85 32Fly Bridge and not sure if I want to lose the room to access the engines, thru hulls etc. Bu...

Dan could you possibly post a pic of your solution. I have a Bracket that runs the width of the table and have been looking for a good solution for this issue.

Im in, but I need brown and only 3-4 feet, but i will take what ever i get

wondering about just draining the engine blocks instead of pickling entire engine with rv anti freeze. only worry is that i will leave water in risers and mufflers, any ideas would be appreciated.
